Psychologist says only 30-50% of people have an internal monologue

I cant visualize at all and yet I can "feelsee" which is something totally different. Do have Synesthesia though which explains that:

Synesthesia - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Handy when making beats as you can feel what "colors" of kick go with which sample and if the textures clash and things like that.

Try this for an insight into your inner realm:

1) Close your eyes and imagine a RED STAR. 2) Open this thread.

Not everyones inner worlds are the same as your own as this experiment will show. There is a very interesting place we can go once we've established where most people sit on the spectrum of mental perception so lets get it.

Being able to visualize is very common. Both IRL and on The Coli as the poll shows.

You must really suck as a person if your own brain doesn't even want to talk to you.

man what if schizophrenia is when people who never had a internal monologue as a child and their internal monologue developed latently as an adult which was so foreign and unrecognizable to them they became crazy?

I mean our internal dialogue be saying some wild shyt sometimes .

It does, huh? What does it say? (Open to everyone else as well. Are the vocal tones inside your dome foe or friend?)

I posted an article a few pages back about schizophrenia and subvocal speech which is quite close to your theory but there is more when it comes to this particular malady and its implications about reality.

Did you know the schizophrenic brain doesn't fall for optical illusions whilst a "sane" one believes them as gospel. That in itself is very interesting if you stop and think for a moment about the underlying meaning.

great athletes definitely have a louder internal voice than regular folk

same way nikkas talk extra smack it's like that but inside their head

all that empty your mind shyte is the finesse

they tell you that so they can fill your head with whatever works best for them

Because they're NPC. It's not difficult to distinguish. Watch closer.

Your mistake here is thinking emptying your mind means you lose discernment.
In truth, your intuition becomes razor sharp because your not hypnotized by mind associations which cause snap judgments.
Your mind has preconceived notions attached to every word that block the message the sender intended.
if all you do is turn the volume up you will exhaust yourself-mental energy/effort consumes more energy then physical
volume up self talk is motivation. silent mind intuitive response is inspiration.
The inspired competitior will always beat the motivated one.
Motivation is finite inspiration is limitless.
mind is a tool and language is a tool
emptying your mind allows you to control the tool instead of being controlled by it.
if you can’t empty your mind at will then you are not in control
”they” dont have to fill your head with anything if they can get you to emotionally respond.
if they can get you to emotionally respond they already control you
If you are in a state of absolute equilibrium you are always aware of what is attempting to be programmed into you.

They are processing quicker because they are COMPLETELY in the moment.
I doubt they are thinking ahead because you cant really predict someone’s moves with one hundred percent accuracy and if you try that tends to eff you up and distract you.
What if they don’t do what you assume?
However you can be more in the moment then them and get that half a second chance to go right when you perceive them going left in the moment.
Kobe and Lebron and MJ and Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson are masters of RESPONSE in the present.
There’s a reason its called killer instinct and not killer logic.
Killer instinct is the killers logic.

That’s cool and I see that…. But it’s not the same as not having an inner monologue. Not having an inner monologue is on some drone shyt.

you got everything you just said from somewhere

that's the script you like then cool

everyone does what works for them

& from experience/observation most top tier athletes are notorious shyte talkers

that includes a lot of self talk

shyt is cap impossible to have nothing going on in your head in silence

You become a drone that is directed by the same force that moves the planets and stars.
inner monologues are usually just instructions to become a drone of social conditioning.

we on two different wavelengths. retards are not the same as kobe/jordan/lebron/bruce lee operating off of instincts that were built up over time with study and repetition. being in the moment and not knowing why you do the dumb shyt you do are not one in the same

 

[ShaDynasty]

Was talking to someone a while ago about this and she said her thoughts were just there in abstract and she didn't need to put them into words unless talking about them. Its not about them being zombies or that its related to intelligence, I think its just a different way of thinking.

Personally I have the internal dialogue going, but sometimes it seems like a curse, like if you don't think that way you might be more present in the moment.

being "empty minded" is the state pretty much all spiritual traditions aspire toward...

Wrong...

Spirituality is about being in control of your internal voice...

there's a reason people who lack one initially tend to have their spiritual awakening when God "speaks" to them..
