Inner dialogues refer to the thoughts and reflections that occur within a person's mind, involving self-talk, analysis, and contemplation about various aspects of life, decisions, or emotions.

I thought it was universal, but it turns out there is a large percentage of people who can't have a conversation with themselves. It's really hard for me to wrap my head around, to be honest. 😅

Actually for nearly every untrained mind, it's the exact opposite: they can't *stop* thinking (and worrying). Not a sane way to live.

To be perfectly able to think and reflect, but *choosing* momentto-moment awareness, this is the way.

Thinking has its time and place, but if thoughts run the person, the person is not in control. Thinking then becomes the master - the tool uses the user.

I agree with @papafigos that ALL untrained minds, most all people, are run by unrestrained, automatic thinking. And 99.99% of that thinking is about "Me"! And about the future or the past. And they SUFFER because of it.

Being in the present moment, stillness, sensation only, is hard won Beingness. Few experience this.

What I might agree with is that, unfortunately, a very high % of those run by thinking, are *wholly unconscious* of that thinking running them!! Making them suffer.

Exactly!
