first KEY POINT
There is a voice inside your head and that voice is there because you are unconsciously cushioning yourself from reality
Everyone has a voice that speaks in their head. It is the voice that’s reading this out to you right now even though your lips aren’t moving. It’s the voice that’s saying things to you as you go about your daily activities. You might wonder if there’s truly a voice in your head. The fact is that there is. This is your reality. Whatever you hear in your head is the voice of your thoughts. It speaks in your head before words ever come out of your mouth and it speaks in your head even when words don’t come out of your mouth. It is a narrator when you walk down the street and notice things like; a dog at a fire hydrant, a dog that looks so much like a neighbor’s car, trees that are beginning to brown, etc. The thoughts in your head don’t even have to make sense. If you notice, it doesn’t exactly have a stable direction of speech and it can and will jump topics without missing a beat. It even has the ability to argue with itself. That voice is the untethered soul. It is untethered because it is free of any pulling power and it operates on its own, with or without our consent.
To master the thoughts in your head, you must pay attention not to the voice that speaks, but to the you that listens.
In this tidbit, you’ll learn more about the voice in your head, how to hear it better, and the best way to control it. In the chapters below, the advantages and disadvantages of this phenomena are discussed in detail. If you’re interested in knowing more about the voice(s) in your head, then this piece is for you.
second KEY POINT
When the voice is talking to you at all times, it can become really crazy in your head
If everything the voice said came out of your mouth, it would be embarrassing. You would not only have harmed many people's feelings and been fired a couple hundred times, but you would also appear insane just strolling down the street and talking.The voice may appear innocuous, even helpful at times, but it is not. Consider it this way: Wouldn't you get tired of having a best buddy who followed you around 24 hours a day, never stopping talking? You'd want a break, some peace and quiet. It's the same problem here. There's a voice in your head, and it's not going away.
