Yes! A little at a time...more and more until it becomes the habit that takes the place of the previous habit...the internal dialog.
I was able to get there by listening...I had found that when I was washing dishes or taking a bath...anything that involved a part of my body being immersed in water...the water "talked" to me...that is, I perceived a cognizant awareness that was less like a single or discreet entity but literally best described as a "voice of many waters"...it was more than one thought stream but not chaotic or conflicting...and in the years since I first heard the water...it has become a more clear and singular voice but only in the perceiving of it...it is still the voice of many waters...
To listen to the water's thoughts and ideas...I had to be silent! The communication was from within me because it is like the water, in contacting my skin, sends the info through my skin into my "within."
It truly is finding one's self living in two worlds at once...it is far better than that which it replaced...it was a big relief, to me, as well...I was tired of hearing myself!
