Stopping the internal dialog is a gradual process that happens a little at a time. I started by observing my internal dialog and analyzing how much of it is rooted in my cultural conditioning. Keeping notes from hour to hour for a few weeks will get you in the habit. This allows one to slowly gain control of one's internal processes. I have been on a Toltec style path for 9 years and I am just now gaining true control. I can at times stiop the internal dialog to the degree that all of the objects in my visual field lose their emotional attachments and become random shapes and objects without real depth. This often happens while driving or when concentrating on a very difficult task. It is starting to become commonplace in the last few weeks. It is an intensely sober feeling. The second someone speaks to me it kicks the internal dialog back in and I enter the flow of society.
