Thank you very much!! I’ll check it out 
This isn’t a James Endredy sub. If you can go through his material and present a cogent presentation of what he has to say about different levels of attention, and how you think they’re “beyond Castaneda,” than that is worthy of debate.
Edit: never mind I see that you made a post here 4 months ago.

You are officially warned to stop it with the Endredy stuff.
We don’t need any alternative explanations or additional practices when people have enough trouble even having the time to practice the ones that Castaneda himself used.
There are too many distractions in the world, as is, without overly-enabling individuals in our own sub to do the same.
You do realize that many people have no inner monologue? This is not magical, and is quite common in reality.
The Spanish text version of this on Instagram got likes at around 3 times the normal rate, of the English only posts.
Unless it’s some sort of “Friday” coincidence that puts more eyes on their social media.
Looks to me like the Spanish speaking audience is bigger.
I didn’t said that is a magical on my end. Just trying to understand, what is it and how to achieve proper inner silence.
Absolutelty NO.
The internal dialogue might be a bit different among people, and in fact have different layers.
According to Dan, at a very basic level it is made of images.
It also includes fantasies of any type.
If you really stop the internal dialogue, you get enlightened, and have the possibilites I mentioned in the pic available.
I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
For instance, look at babies. They still don’t have a dialogue, and they can hardly focus on this world. The social interaction don’t mean anything to them until they are 3-5?
But you don’t have to believe me. You can learn to check all of this by yourself.
If you don’t want, please leave, or you will harm other people that really want to learn.
Yeah, friday probably helps, but remember the sorcery technique I teached you!
Use the Hashtags #!
I still haven’t seen where to put those. Could be computer versus cellphone.
I’ll try next time.
This is very helpful. Thanks.
I like how you guys are getting better at describing these abstract phenomena.
Hey man, I’m not trying to crap on your concept it appears I just confused your use of “internal dialogue” with inner monologue. Many peoples thoughts don’t have a “voice” as we know of it, and are more abstract and experiential. But there is value in silencing random thought, and allowing yourself to experience the world with a different lens. I can acknowledge that 100%. I have done mirror gazing as taught by Tibetan Buddhists decades ago, and I am pretty sure it’s similar to the dark rooming your discussing.
I am not a believer of the blue pill/red pill theory, we all see reality to a varying degree, during our lives. But not all of us recognize truth when it’s presented. The fact that what we see with our eyes is a mental construct, generated by a physical body, that only temporarily houses us is pretty unpopular despite its truth.
I am not sure how this sub landed on my feed, it just looked like an interesting take on some other ancient practices and wisdom. So I was looking at some of the posts, I’ll leave y’all alone to do your thing. Cheers, looks like your off to a good start, I am sure our paths will cross in another arena!
Call it “inner monologue”, “internal dialogue” or “flow of thoughts”, it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s going on, there’s no sorcery. No belief systems, concepts or theories are needed, it’s based on practice and perception. In fact, everything else would be even a nuisance.
Of course you know a red pill exists. It’s your own death. But there’s no need to wait until the body dies. Those are two different things. If your inner silence is deep enough, you’ll experience.
When you become aware, you realize something external, like a red pill, can only limit you, never set you free. The Ego does not have to die, to be silenced; destruction is natural, but not required. There are many paths that lead to the same destination.
Yes, it would be really better if you leave. You didn’t come for learning. Sorcery in here has another destination, and there’s only one known available path.
That’s fine, just replied to you, as I said before enjoy your journey.
Yeah. And if you become aware the next time, then remember the external things. You wouldn’t survive two weeks without external food. Less than two days without external water. Less than two minutes without external air. And without external energy it wouldn’t be two seconds, you wouldn’t even exist. Keep in mind on your journey.
Yes, Ive likened it to looking out a window instead of walking thru the door. I seem to be integrating things/states Ive learned from bashing my head into the “red zone” countless times, its been about 3 years since I stopped taking psychedelics and it does not seem that growth has stopped, or the “psychedelic” state of life has less diminished, its just more subtle. The tricky part, is not falling into delusion - or at least, an imbalanced delusion
What does one actually do, then? My consciousness, day to day, is built on that exploration and shifting my conscious state, though Im not intentionally sitting and doing nothing, I attempt to practice silence, flow, and awareness and a mode of being, to put it simply.
What does getting serious actually mean, in this case? I am of the thought that there are many ways to progress, but as someone who is exploring blind with no guide, I am still experimenting
In the description. You can even choose to not use any text and only hashtags.
But I don’t know if it works in computer. If it let you add a text, then it should work.
Yeah, it is a good attitude, but not enough for learning sorcery.
You won’t learn to get silent that way.
Moving through the J curve can take 3 hours of concentration, even to advanced darkroomers.
I can’t do it while doing other things.
Maybe if you practice daily, you can get weird things to happen in daily life.
Getting serious means you dedicate enough time to learn to move the assamblage point and get silent.
