You are quite correct in your reference to a 'breaking-point' in inner silence - the phrase was also used in the last book in ref. to Isolating oneself.
I'll explain through my own experience how this 'isolation' is the breaking-point in someones life. I really wanted the dedication to follow a wholesome/evolved life, I knew about recapitulation and magical-passes and stalking, I knew about the importance of virtue and integrity but....what gives a human the drive, the motivation, the dedication to live impeccably? I was having about 2hrs a week that was sort of impeccable - it drove me to despair that I couldn't pull it off and when you show a little discipline, life has a way of providing better distractions. For 5-6 years I knew I was fooling myself, you're either hot or your cold, lukewarm will not make the grade, then I read the last book when it came out and I realized that isolation made all the sense. It's like when your in a new place or on holiday, it's easy to stop or start a habit - Isolation gives you a perspective of you, that normally, you wouldn't notice - Like if you doubt something, or maybe you see something out the corner of your eye, you have friends or family that talk stuff away, saying it was nothing, or telling you not to worry. You must have heard the saying "you are your own worst enemy", well you must face that enemy and the battle is your own, no-one else must be involved.
Isolation gives you a couple of clear understandings that in turn gives you the motivation, the drive, the dedication to lead an impeccable life - By taking the time to really examine who you are, you get to realize who everyone else is. You also get to personally understand the 'inner-voice', this in turn makes you a more forgiving, understanding person. - before I go on, to answer your other question regarding the voice - At the turn of the 20th century in 190_something, a German doctor, Dr.Baum, did some experiments on a patient, while the patient was conscious, he wanted to answer some questions relating to memory, so the doctor opened the skull of this chap and touched his brain while asking him questions. A number of things were discovered durin this experiment, most sensational was the discovery of a 'hidden-other', such was his discovery, that dr. Baum hid his findings and died without letting anyone know, he had to, he would have lost his job and people would have called him mad, he would have had trouble finding any work at all. Anyway, the story goes that a Canadian neurophysicist , Wilder Penfield was going through dr Baum's papers and found the experiment, he did the experiment himself and found it to be true, we share this life with another, some other 'thing' lives through our lives, this 'other' stays hidden by having us think that the 'voice' is us, it sounds like us and when we ask ourselves a question, it was it's question and the answer is it's answer - so were quite fucked(scuse!) to put it plainly! The important thing is, science finally proved something hugely important, possibly one of the most important understandings of the human condition, yet it is still not 'mainstream' and understandably so, it is big! it threatens so much of the matrix.
I knew that the voice belonged to someone else, long before I did the isolation, but I needed the jolt of my own experience to truly believe it.
I'm tired and need to sleep.
