As the story goes. Who's inside your head?

As the Story goes...

Duality of self. We all hear the other voice. Seemingly, there are 2 of you. Of me. Them. They. Us. That "other" voice 1 second away and behind our everyday thoughts...right before we speak. One the cognoscente one, the other who mumbles answers and comments to us all day long from the inside.

Quite normal, its called "conscious" or "subconscious", waking-self, good angel, bad angel...but can we have a conversation with our other "self"? Or is it in fact, having a conversation internally...with us? Which one composes your words-to-page? You outside you? Or the inside one of...you?

The joke used to be "Yeah, you can talk to yourself...as long as you dont start answering yourself!" Uh, uh. We do that all the time as well. I'm addressing that voice in us internally. Reason. Denial. Expectations. Ridiculousness. Worry. Hatred. Anger. Love. Longing. Regret. The person inside that takes the subconscious thoughts out there in our heads "Yeah...what an idiot", "Wow, she has a lovely face?" and toss it outside. Teacher inside student. Interesting thought.

Ive wondered who that is inside us. Sounds like me, but speaks better. More eloquently. Confidently. Educated. But, I dont speak quite like that normally. It comes from that part of us that talks to us when composing school essays. Another voice. Another part of us? Same person. Try a test. One with no correct answers, and no 1 answer. The results can be revealing.

Because you can reach your other "you", like automatic writing, you free-flow your thoughts, eyes closed and type, key, write what you think and how you think it, when you think it. Now. Instantly. The words flow, right? But from where? Who is that person, and how'd they get inside our heads?

Dictation apps and software allow the speaker to speak non stop, without pause nor interruption of thought as to whats good or not. We dont immediately "self-edit". But in life, we really do. Its usually when one answers hesitantly..." Ummmm....er....I...." Its what comes out next like grade-school answers, because in life, they really are. Its amazing how our brains weave thoughts together...and then arbitrarily ignore the basis of thought coming out of the mouth.

Close your eyes and compose something as fast as you can, regardless of errors. As you think it, put it to page. HOW you answer quickly, off-the-cuff and right now...is the real internal "self" we hear from. Who's talkin and why dont we always sound like that? To be like that? Certainly, in positive ways, with acceptable grammar and well put and clearly defined answers and terminology, we should be listening to it. I'd like to be more like that inside-me. They. Us. Inside. Thats you talkin' to you. Me speaking for me from inside telling Mr. Outside what to and not to say. Then why dont we say things better? And not be better on the mean things we say?

It may be a time in all our lives to have a conversation with our other real selves. A meeting of the mind(s), so to speak. I think this fits the description of "spirit", this other voice. Its still us...just that part of us responsible for our compositional skills answered within the context of "free-thought' by definition...(leaving much to be desired on the outside.)...that we tend to ignore. That answer-person inside internally is the basis for us to form thought and speech on the outside. But, we edit, change, reword, correcting everything our other voice told us so academically profound to say and how to say it, because we think we should as we compose our words.

I've been sayin' that for years to myself... As the story goes...

Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
Muffled out and pushed back down
Pushed back through the leafy ground

Thought forms.
Interesting topic/post.

According to many members here, it’s Trump.

But reading posts from those same people, it’s Biden in their case.

Personally, I believe it’s your conscience and always let it be your guide. Unless you’re drunk. Then never let it be your guide. But you will, more often than not.

I think maybe I could have lived life a happy man if I had of just listened to that voice in the back of my head in first place... now I think I’ve dug a trench way too deep, which not even that old subconscious can help.

Now it’s just about doing my time, a 25 to life kind of deal... paying attention to your subconscious probably doesn’t really help at a certain stage... but rather just makes you constantly dwell on what you missed out on.

Just ignore it and roll on the best you can...I find drinking helps to ignore that constant whining regret in the back of your head.

Congratulations(smfh) on being the first to twist the topic to politics.

There is definitely like a dozen voices I feel are in there on a rotating basis. I think about it quite a lot. Different mood. Different feel to “that” voice. I suppose some people are more sensitive to recognizing mood and therefore may be more prone to recognizing tone change. I am left handed and a chef. I play guitar, chess and go. I don’t ever mean to be the weird one. Apparently I give off a lively left field vibe. Hell if I know why.

Great topic.

Your lot are normally the first tbf.

It’s what ATS has become, and you’ve contributed to it many times in the past.

Peace

a reply to: stosh64

I know, right!

Awesome thread!

The voice inside my head, guided me to write this spell... 😜🐸🤓

IN THE NAME OF TRUTH, LIGHT, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, MERCY, COMPASSION, FORGIVENESS AND ALL THAT OTHER GOOD JAZZ
AND AS ALWAYS --- FOR THE GREATEST GOOD OF ALL
MARK THESE WORDS

The gentle voice inside our minds, that speaks with unconditional love, compassion, mercy and kindness is the voice of God.

THIS IS MY DECREE. THIS OR SOMETHING BETTER.

THIS DECREE IS, AS ALWAYS, BOTH RETROACTIVE AND PROACTIVE.

SO IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN.
SO IT HAS BEEN DONE.
SO BE IT.

🌹🌹🌹🌹

There is a study I read which suggested that the two half's of the brain would " talk" to each other as an audible halucination in the past before it became one unified organ.

a reply to: Jeremiah33three

Its ok to talk to oneself...but, when we start answering ourselves...then we have an issue.

Its amazing how much we silently communicate...with ourselves in stores, walks, paying bills etc....

THAT guy inside....prob has it more together than me!
