Where the internal dialogue leads. Myths and reality
Constant internal dialogue is a state when a person is inside himself most of the time, grinding an endless stream of thoughts randomly floating up in various corners of consciousness. Introverts tend to constant internal dialogue, preferring their inner world of thoughts to the world outside. It is much more common for them to indulge in thought than to communicate with people.

Many people after Yuri Burlan's training "System-Vector Psychology" talk about the termination of the constant internal dialogue, which literally did not allow them to breathe deeply: everything outside was dimmed by the incessant tension of thought. Along with the obsessive state, headaches and insomnia disappear, even suicidal thoughts recede.
Because of what the problem of internal dialogue arises and how to cope with it - we will figure it out in this article.
Who has an internal dialogue problem?

The problem of internal dialogue appears in people with the so-called sound vector. According to his specific role, the soundman is the night guard of the pack. From time immemorial, the task of the sound engineer has been to focus on the sounds outside - only he was able to hear the rustle of an approaching leopard while the whole flock slept. And only he was the only one who spent sleepless nights under the starry dome of the sky, alone with himself.
Once, concentrating on the sounds outside, the sound engineer made a discovery that marked the beginning of a new stage in the development of human society. He was the first to separate himself from the world outside and asked the fateful question: “Who am I? Why do I exist? To this day, cognition of oneself and the world around, the search for the meaning of what is happening is the main occupation of any sound person, whether he realizes it or not.
And today, at the peak of civilization, we are forced to admit that the answer to the question about the meaning of life has not been found. We know a lot about the world outside, but we continue to wander in the darkness of misunderstanding and ignorance of who we are from within, why we came to this world and where we will go. Living in despair and depression, the sound "lags behind", does not cope with its task, sliding into the pitch darkness of suicide.
For the most part, the sound people are in very bad conditions, they move away from solving unsolvable issues into excessive sleep, drugs, alcohol, heavy music.
Obsessive self-talk is also a manifestation of a sound that does not fulfill its purpose. You can't hide from thoughts. They are always with a person, wherever he is, wherever he hides. Neither work, nor family, nor entertainment pleases - they are illusory, and the state inside is more than real. And it is exhausting.
From the point of view of physiology, intellectual activity is associated with tremendous mental stress, which is due to the concentration of attention on a limited range of objects and phenomena. This leads to rapid fatigue of the involved nerve centers. A working brain consumes much more oxygen than other tissues in the body.
Constant fatigue, caused by incessant, unproductive, thought dialogue that does not bring satisfaction in the form of solving specific problems, leads to a loss of interest in activities and the environment, increased irritability, inadequate response to people around, decreased appetite, dizziness and headache.
According to the doctor of psychological sciences K. K. Platonov, with severe mental fatigue, sleep disturbance is observed in 65% of cases, rapid fatigue - in 40%, increased irritability - in 32%, decreased appetite - in 27% and headache - in 26% … A portrait of a soundman, isn't it?
What is the sound engineer thinking?
Not always about the meaning of life, because many sound specialists are not aware of their basic need - self-knowledge. The most common questions that he can try to solve within himself: “Why all this? Who needs all this? Why are these stupid people running around? Does that change anything? Why do I live? All the same, there is no point in it … . Sometimes these questions are not even formulated, but create a kind of negative background of general dissatisfaction with life. Thoughts are scrolling in my head, inspired by the shortages and frustrations of other vectors. After all, the sound engineer in his physical life relies on at least one more - the lower vector. And in the modern world, a person can have a bunch of 3-4 or more vectors.
A stressful skin vector can throw up thoughts that money is always in short supply, scroll through some combinations, how to get it, where to make money. With the greatest hatred of the sound engineer for the material world, these thoughts can generate great internal contradictions: money seems to be needed, but it seems that it is not - what is the point in them if they still cannot calm this incomprehensible pain inside?
An undeveloped and unrealized visual vector, which is in fear, can give rise to hypochondriacal states, when thoughts will constantly revolve around imaginary diseases. Waking up in the morning, a person will first of all focus on the sensations in the body: “It hurts again … Probably, this is some kind of terrible disease, since it has not let me go for so long (a slight malaise can last only two days, but vision has the most subjective perception of time). We must go to the doctor and be examined. There may be an obsession with unrequited love, with which a person will rush in his thoughts day and night, or fruitless dreams that give nothing but an even deeper immersion in the world of illusion.
But the most difficult internal dialogue can give a combination of sound with an undeveloped, frustrated anal vector. The specific role of a person with an anal vector is the collection and transmission of information accumulated in generations. This gives him such a mental feature as turning to the past, a craving for the accumulation of experience. Any - and negative as well. Resentment is the most difficult feeling that occurs only in the anal vector. An offended anal sound specialist will twist an unpleasant situation in his head for days, not being able to let it go, forgiving the offender.
The frustrated state of the anal person, due to the opposition of his innate properties to the modern skin phase of human development, will make the subject of his internal dialogue a sense of his own inferiority, lack of respect and assessment of his abilities, their lack of demand in society. A double introvert, an anal sounder is most prone to immersion in an internal dialogue, especially since his slowness, sluggishness, difficulties in starting any new business create the most favorable conditions for immersion in and refusal from active actions.
A pill from internal dialogue
The problem of constant internal dialogue has always been relevant for a certain part of people. Now we understand which ones, namely - for carriers of the sound vector. This is not a shovel for you. It will be harder to think. Therefore, a lot of funds were offered for this scourge.
Since time immemorial, various spiritual teachers have proposed a recipe for enlightenment - stopping the internal dialogue. That is, the internal dialogue was seen as a problem that hinders the achievement of "enlightenment". As methods, various techniques of meditation, concentration of breathing were proposed, which give short-term altered states of consciousness, expressed in stopping the thought process. For example, meditation teaches skills to turn off certain areas of the brain that are responsible for temporal and spatial characteristics. During breathing exercises, the brain is simply pumped with oxygen. And now we are already in "nirvana".
Physical activity, which physiologists and physicians advise to resort to to relieve mental fatigue caused by intensive intellectual work, to which can be attributed the incessant attempts of the sound engineer to solve the eternal questions within himself, also have approximately the same effect (aimed especially at brain activity).
Psychological advice on this matter is sometimes simply touching. For example, they advise you to speak up your problem. This, according to them, will not solve it, but it will alleviate the condition (a good solution to the problem, considering that for this it will be necessary to find someone who will listen all the time). “Don't be led by negative thinking, think positively,” they say. - If you feel that negative thoughts are pulling you in, switch to something constructive. Instead of thinking about the problem, solve it, act. This is good advice when you consider that physiologists know that mental activity cannot be arbitrarily stopped; it can continue even in sleep. And how do you switch to solving a problem if you don't even know what it is? In the case of the sound engineer, it is too abstract, the ways of its solution do not lie on the surface.
It turns out that everything that has been proposed so far as a remedy for constant internal dialogue was just a pill that temporarily relieves the symptoms of the disease. The causes of the disease itself could only be guessed at.
What is internal dialogue and how to overcome it?
To date, the reasons for this phenomenon are recognized and there are already practical results of this awareness, which are spoken about by people who have undergone Yuri Burlan's training.
Thoughts are not ours. They are made to serve desires. It is impossible to get rid of thoughts completely, just as it is impossible to get rid of desires. Man was created to enjoy the realization of his desires, and not to run away from them. This is the essence, the root of man.
For a sound engineer, thinking is a pleasure. It was made for this. Making him stop thinking is like telling himself to give up food forever. And if we consider that desire in sound far exceeds material desires in other vectors, then this is simply impossible for him.
Concentrating on the breath, white light or mantra in order to stop the flow of thoughts is useless, because thoughts will still return to the desire that they are supposed to serve - knowledge of oneself and the Universe. All attempts of visual gurus to replace the search for the meaning of life with various images on which it is proposed to concentrate, do not give the sound engineer true satisfaction. The reason is that cognition of oneself and one's destiny is achieved not by leaving the world into the isolation of one's own sensations and states somewhere in the depths of "nirvana", but on the contrary, by concentrating outside - on people and society, the entire integrity of the world and fulfilling one's task in this the world.
Sound needs to go out. Trying to answer the question "Who am I?" only within himself, he will never find the answer. His desire for mental activity must be directed in the right direction - to search outside, to create. In the professional sphere, this can be the solution of engineering, inventive, programming, scientific problems, the introduction of an intellectual component into any field of activity.
However, the power of desire in the sound vector is now so strong that even this will not be enough. The modern sound engineer has few indirect fillers, today every sound engineer is required to fulfill the main task - to cognize oneself, to realize that we live as a kind of mental.
With the correct concentration of thought, focusing on the main, and not the secondary, each sound engineer feels incredible relief, begins to literally feel life, its meaning and meaning, the meaning of oneself in this world. At the same time, the same problems are being solved that we do not know how to approach, and therefore we "cook" them inside ourselves. The internal dialogue becomes nothing to base on, the endless conversation in the head becomes silent forever, giving way to creative, accurate and constructive thoughts.
