Inside your mind runs a dialogue. It talks to you. You listen and you
believe the words you hear are yours? Are they really? This dialogue
tells you things. About people. About how you feel. Your inner fears.
Yourself. What would life be like without this constant mental noise?
People like music because music can replace the dialogue if even
briefly. This dialogue can be a master. It can make you its slave. Make
you say and do things you would never do if no one told you to do them.
The internal dialogue MUST be mastered by the warrior on this path. One
starts by controlling the dialogue. Become spartan like in your control
of it. Allow no thoughts that are unwanted. This process becomes
extremely important when one gets into old age. The dialogue can be
stopped. You can make it stop and each time you intentionally stop it
for however long you become more its master. Have you ever tried to stop
your internal dialogue? What is the result? Does it fight back? Modern
Nagualism embraces the control of the internal dialogue for if a warrior
can stop it then he can then inject intent into his will. Will is the
opposite of the internal dialogue. Will is the Warrior's Way.
