say next, and wait for the next thought to come in, when I do this my mind chatter stops. If the next thought is pleasant, then I keep it and enjoy it, but if I don't like it I just say ok next, and simply wait for the next thought to appear. Works for me.
Be with the chatter, be still with it. Even the chatter will aligns with your heart with practice . Let it naturally work its way through, with the light of consciousness. The chatter is the practice.
@@Rfzinho09 if the thoughts are good, I don't mind letting them run. But if I don't like the thoughts and the effect they are having on my body, I would rather do the "next" thing. In that place of no thought is ultimate peace.

You ever been driving in a car and you were thinking about something or focused on something so deep for a good amount of time and realize that you weren’t paying attention or at least you don’t remember paying attention to driving, but you did everything right and made it to your destination. Science will call it muscle memory, but I think it’s deeper.

@ If I were you I would take whatever I say with a great big giant block of salt. A very very wise man I worked for at the very start of my career - an unknown man but he was enormously successful in a tough field - told me,"Be careful whose advice you accept. Look at that person giving you that advice and ask yourself if that person has gotten what you yourself are looking for.". I myself am not someone whose advice I would rely on. But when I apply that rule looking for people who show the things I would like to show - a personal peace, a confident sense of mission, a genuine love for others, and an indefatigable optimism about just plain life, I end up with a short list of Christian pastors. If you don't think that path is for you, I completely understand, as I was a self-professed atheist then agnostic until age 29. But if you are open to that path, the most important speaker to me, who passed away a number of years ago, was Tim Keller, a very well known Presbyterian minister and church-planter. Especially look for his talks on overcoming dark times. th-cam.com/video/ulmaUtbayGY/w-d-xo.html He has a sermon that used to be titled "Satanic Exposition" (no longer on TH-cam under that name, but if you Google it it's on Facebook) that now has led me out of a number of very very emotionally difficult situations. Now I was already a Christian the first time I listened to this. I was listening to TH-cam on my commute home. The title attracted me to it, and for me (already a Christian when I heard it), I found myself crying like a baby by the end. I'm 99% sure that wouldn't happen to most people, but at that point I already had faith in Christ, and it made very real some of the things hardest to really believe - that you truly are loved, and loved passionately, by the God of the universe - that you mean more to God than his own life means to him (a mind-boggling thing if you can accept it). This sermon is completely up-front about the pain in life, and it does not treat it as an illusion, but it gives you real reasons (again, if you can accept them) for why you can and should have not just hope, but optimism and love. I'll be the first to say, having spent half my life atheist, and genuinely loving Hindus and Buddhists and Muslims (and feeling towards Jews as if we are real brothers) and aspiring to love all - I am the first to admit that this may not be the same help to you that it was to me. So Tim Keller's sermons, but especially those on dark times, helped me enormously. So have the talks of Tim Mackey, who co-founded the Bible Project, that is so successful on TH-cam. There are others. There are non-religious content providers I like as well, but the content that simply works best for me connects to my Christian faith. But again, if I objectively looked at myself, I don't think anyone should treat my opinions as anything other than just the opinions of some guy on the internet. Whatever the case I know one day you will find what you are looking for. Best, Some Guy on the Internet
Every night, I put on recorder in my phone and talk till am completely empty, and that leads me to a space where am absolutely free of thoughts and then I fall asleep, I love doing that.
I talk to myself because I am trying to solve problems. I am constantly asking and answering questions either in my mind or verbally. Basically, I do the Socratic method on myself. Sounds weird but it works.
This conscious eternal life is a gift and a grace, and we are just learning how to reciprocate with the Giver of this gift. Conscious life is full of personal qualities, appreciate it and protect it.
Okay, I'm glad to know this is a video on meditation. I was about to say this won't help me at all if I closed my thoughts off and stopped thinking haha. I need my thoughts to continue flowing, it brings new ideas to me.
This made me think.. when I play guitar, when I work, go on walks etc. I feel this exact experience, I go blank and feel as if I’m rather experiencing what I’m doing rather than actually doing it.. almost like an auto pilot.. it makes one think that maybe we are just an observer of the the thing we think is us.. you may think you make your own decisions and you could maybe prove this by going and robbing a store or something out of character to prove you have control of your actions.. but who are we to say these things happening and the actions we produce aren’t predetermined and we are just observing and feeling rather reacting more so than actually doing?
nothing is wrong with talking to yourself talking to yourself can bring new internal and exernalenlightening, talking to yourself(peptalsk) can get you through tasks and so forth.
There is a close parallel, perhaps even the same thing described differently, between Alans "awareness" here and the "metaconsciousness" described by Bernard Kastrup. I wish their lives had aligned in time so they could converse while we listen.
Spend some quiet time just being before bed... Sleep will be a continuation of this time..... Never give up learning..... Suppose this is a duality thing....
ADHD makes it much harder to stop the mind chatter. It‘s ruined my life as I‘ve never been able to focus so learning, hobbies, careers, relationships have always been very difficult. Something to do with an overactive Default Mode Network.
Amen But our overactive mind was a gift; evolution would not have spared our type otherwise. Hard things makes the chatter go away but in a world of convenience it’s difficult to know what those hard things are Good luck
I too have adhd and I started telling myself I can hyperfocus on anything important to me including clearing the mind. I stopped telling myself it’s hindered me in any way and focus on its positives. It’s actually easier for us than others you just are too focused on what society has told you adhd is. They don’t want us to use our hyperfocus and other talents.
I want to reach the state where I only speak to myself. Chattering in the skull. Then reduce back to reality. I think that would be interesting... do you?
If you think you there. Your not quite there. Let go concept and let Consciousness diminish and necessity to arrival. Like The archers if he think about the shot he will miss the mark each time
It’s funny that they recently began talking about people with no inner monologue who make up a not small percentage of the population. They already don’t talk to themselves. They are not anymore enlightened or happy ..in fact the opposite could be true as the condition tends to lead toward a lack of self awareness .
Talking to yourself loudly is the first sign of madness not talking to yourself inside one's head. The funny thing is I think it is the physiological makeup of the human brain to actually talk to oneself. Maybe we are scared to be all although ourselves and quiet 🤐😂 ??!! As well as a human brain design is to make patterns of things that we see . As well as we need to describe things and communicate that design to others.. I think Alan Watts has his ideas which is fine but you people should have your own and stop listening to lots of s***
An Eskimo once told me a wise proverb, if you and your friends surround a man and some of you kick him to death, only you know if he really complained as he started dying. Did he die? What did he say as he was dying? Who told you that story?
@ I meditated for over a decade, from my teens to late 20s. Studied Buddhism and Hinduism in my early 20s. Glad I did to better know and understand my neighbor and understand the world . But meditation is no secret art. For me, and I know it's not this way for all, but for me it made me less resilient and more prone to magical thinking - the latter only let me down, time and time again. That's not everyone, but it's how some of us experience it.
