The mind voice is a constant companion. It reads to you when your eyes gaze at pages in books. It sings to you when you are listening to a song. In fact virtually everything you do on the earth plane, the mind voice relates its opinions, insights and advice to you ...
What is that mind voice? "According to a new study, internal speech makes use of a system that is mostly employed for processing external speech, which is why we can "hear" our inner voice. The study comes from the Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia, and is led by researcher Mark Scott, who analyzed a brain signal known as "corollary discharge" - a signal that separates sensory experiences we produce ourselves from experiences that are external. This signal helps explain why we are unable to tickle ourselves: it predicts our own movements and omits the sensation of feeling ticklish. According to the study, this prediction usually filters out self-made sounds so we don't hear them externally, but rather internally. The corollary discharge therefore prevents the sensory confusion that would otherwise arise. Until now, the phenomenon of internal speech has been mostly unexamined. But through two experiments, Scott saw evidence that corollary discharge is an important component of our internal speech experiences...read more>>>..."
But is that inner voice YOU or is it an independent source. By day it guides us through the human grind on the hamster wheel. But by night, it is possible to OBSERVE the voice and OTHER voices doing the same role. When they are observed you notice there appears to be an independent quality to those voices. Or, maybe, they are the voices of the apparent physical form, its interaction with the mind field ... and when you get into mindfulness you are actually pulling away from that state of awareness and thus observing the programmed brain chatter that the R-Complex/hive mind generates .... we will discuss this fascinating subject at a later date.
