Contemplate what is the difference between concept x experience.

The voice in our heads is our monkey mind, its gone wild for most of Us, combined with our strong identification with Ego/Intellect and things we are not, most of the population is in a sort of insanity that is socially accepted, because someone else is making money off of it!

Just focus on Your Breathing, Your Body sensations, what Your immediately observing, this will bring You back to reality and the Living Now, and with more practice of observing the monkey mind, you eventually gain space with it, what is You is observing what is not You (Body/Mind), with that comes silent and peace.. Try it out for a week consistently and see what happens!

I haven't looked into this phenomenon, so I can't say much about it.

Still, it's interesting to examine, because it seems there are two "yous."

Who am I talking to? What is this dialogue?

@UnbornTao i remember that Nahm used to point out the two mes/yous a lot.

Inner monologue is inevitable because the human mind operates through symbolism, and this is expressed through language. It is an essential function of the mind. The problem isn't the monologue itself, but the energy that drives it. If you manage to deactivate that energy, you can remove the emotional charge from the inner monologue and focus your perception at a deeper level.

Inner monologue is usually triggered by emotions like fear, rejection, anxiety, and identity issues. Trying to turn off the monologue by thinking it's the cause of these emotions is a mistake; it's the opposite, it's the consequence.

You have to deeply understand the root of these emotions and confront their underlying causes, and ultimately, look death in the face without filters. Then the emotional charge gradually loses intensity, and the monologue becomes manageable.

I'm not familiar with the way he uses those terms, so I can't tell.

To me, it seems like it could be a sort of auditory imitation or conceptual representation of one's voice.

Analogously, it's a bit like placing a mirror in front of yourself - so that you can interact with a reflection (?)

Anyhow, might as well contemplate what its purpose is.

Sounds like all normal, everyday stuff. Congrats if you tried lsd for the first or second time there. And, yah, people do usually forget as, or feel as though... like, as if theyre conjuring or remembering something theyve forgotten, eccetera, regarding lsd.. Id concur that it would be a mistake to then "forget the forgotten". Like, things that are familiar~forgotten, are not meant to be forgotten, più di quanto lo siano stati, or anymore than they have been.
