Can somebody explain what an inner monologue is ?

Inner dialogue?
Everybody has self-talk, whether they pay any conscious attention to it or not. Negative voices, positive voices, voices of other people that represent something to you...music or any other kind of media can all jump in and out of your thought stream and influence your emotional baseline.
The same mechanism that allows a song lyric to get stuck in your head is the same one governs internal dialogue, at least in my experience.

Mind chatter. One of the first steps on a path to enlightenment is to eliminate it. It's essentially the ego. The devil is also a metephor for the voice in your head. To become one with self, you have to kill the duality and reveal your true consciousness.
One exercise to eliminate mind chatter is to simply dismiss any verbal thought you have as soon as it takes place. It takes constant practice, but if you stay disciplined you will start seeing results in as little as a few weeks. You will notice that your mind is much more empty and free of clutter.
Next, you need to start the practice meditation, which calms the mind even more. I have to stop posting because I'm about to go to bed. If I will fukk around and write a book on this shyt

Obviously people are different but I think this approach is a mistake.
Anything in regards to spirituality where you are focusing your attention on resisting or suppressing something is just going to make you focus on it harder. The first step in enlightenment is not to play wack-a-mole with your thoughts, it's to understand that YOU (as consciousness) are the observer of the thought process. Trying to stop the flow of thought is like trying to stop the flow of water, temporary, wasted effort. Even he most advanced yogi still has thoughts, they just aren't attached to them. Their attention is so internally focused that the thoughts come and go without letting it influence their state.
let me break it down.
in my mind there are 2 me's.
one is on stage and the other is in the audience.
me on stage is doing his thing...me in the audience is judging, laughing, booing, clapping, crying, etc.
it's how my mind works.

You don't mull over ideas in your head before you bring them out. shyt comes out of your mouth as soon as it enters your head
Guessing this is based of the type random threads you make

Basically your inner voice, it is a great deal more than rather speaking to yourself, it is your inner feelings and emotions. For example you may think something, but your heart and the way you feel say something else.

I respectfully disagree. Eliminating mind chatter, or thoughts, can be done. I agree that you should be a passive observer to your thoughts during meditation, but that's for those who experience thoughts (most all of us) Meditation helps calm the mind, and in turn helps reduce thoughts in non meditative states. I also disagree in regards to the most advanced yogi's having thoughts. The goal is to reach a state of emptiness, or to purify the mind, to realize your true self. I don't think this state is mutually exclusive to eliminating thoughts, but those who reach the state have the ability to eliminate all thoughts.
The fact that you can reduce the thoughts in your mind is proof enough that you can eliminate them. The question is, how log can you sustain that elimination of them. Personally, I've went day's without a single thought in my head, and months with rarely having a thought. My mental clarity was just on another level
and my mind was noticeably empty. To this day, my mind is fairly empty, although I'm not on the same level I once was. When you are in that state, you literally don't think, you just act. Like the saying, I am.I associate the concept of the ego directly with the thoughts in your head, and of course, the goal is to destroy the ego and become one with self.
