I would suggest that stopping the inner conversation and stopping the world are not equivalent.
Carlos accomplished stopping the internal dialogue readily, with a littlw effort for several minutes at a time early on in his apprenticeship, where stopping the world happened later as a climax to a long effort that resulted in "seeing".
Also, mustering a command during mental quietude would be a different accomplishment than simply achieving mental silence.
