You must learn how to stop your internal dialogue at will.
...I (had) delineated another procedure: walking for long stretches without focusing the eyes on anything. My recommendation was to not look at anything directly but, by slightly crossing the eyes, to keep a peripheral view of everything that presented itself to the eyes. If one keeps one's unfocused eyes fixed at a point just above the horizon, it is possible to notice, at once, everything in almost the total 180-degree range in front of one's eyes.
That exercise is the only way of shutting off the internal dialogue.
....
Nothing of what we do, with the exception of stopping the internal dialogue, can by itself change anything in us, or in our idea of the world!
