great thread, wonderful description of the 5, and great advice.
I would add that the process of rooting out ignorance can be a long one, and help is available. Not sure if your aware of The Non Dual teachings- it is the basis of Vajrayana Buddhism , The Advaita Vedanta,Zen,Taoism, and the gospel of Thomas. I personally have found Rupert Spira to be exceptionally clear in his direct pointing out of our true nature. By listening or reading his teaching one is bought back to the empty, centered, actioneless, awareness. I have also found it useful to deepen my understanding through a methodological 'self inquiry' as taught by James Swartz, his is a more traditional Advaita Vedanta approach, he is a great character with a real flair for no BS detailed instruction on the 'Science of Self Inquiry'
good luck on your intergration
luv n hugs
