So, personal interpretation of what you're saying. With respect to finding the core between all these approaches.
Unbending intent is finding and abiding in that abstract empty core (wooo! wind picking up outside right now)....the direct experience of it....awareness that is persistent from that centralized state. Sustained action is the spontaneous action that spring from that unfathomably deep well....springs up and out in to the world of manifestation....whatever that maybe.
From Buddhist perspective.....particularly my the lineage that I tend to be partial to in terms of resonance.....Dzogchen.....its all about simply discovering innate rigpa.....or primordial awareness....and staying there. For most of us, I'm guessing, the path is an approach of intermittent discovery that progresses until its unified....and then simply deepens as experience allows. Action amidst manifestation.....1st attention....2nd attention....simply spontaneously emerges from that well spring.
Now, again from personal perspective of a preference in terms of how my reality is experienced....how I choose to perceive it....a preference from the Dzogchen view, overall. It's all good. All of it. All experience, regardless how utterly deviated from that central state, is part of IT, so to speak. It is. All of it revolves around that central truth and, thus, cannot be separated...in spite of appearances. Its how the universe.....how awareness itself.....is exploring itself. Exploring unification vs diversification......realization/knowledge vs stupification/ignorance ( : D ) . Straying away....and returning. Becomes something individual and discrete.....and then reabsorbing to something fluid and connected. In as such, and in my own personal trajectory.....I'm finding that there's great peace in just letting myself evolve in this context. And that means allowing for all my stupidity/lack of heart (as you say), foolishness, failures.....which seems to vastly broaden the silent knowledge gained when reunification, connection, alignment recovers. My overriding intent is to regain the totality of myself, ofc. How that actually happens is up to infinity...and it seems that periodic/intermittent falling apart is (or at least has been) in the cards : )
