>>9522860This is only half-true. If you've never had internal dialogue, you're probably animal-tier. If you have internal dialogue, you're a normal person. If you train yourself to live without extraneous conceptual thought, and learn to combine the part of the brain that takes in pure non conceptual experience, with the part of the brain that can make moral decisions and discriminate, then you're at a place few humans ever attain.
Lots of people have glimpses of this state, such as Olympic level athletes, truly gifted artists and musicians, and some other weirdos. But being able to leave behind internal monologue for pure awareness is a higher state. Living like a dumb animal isn't the same thing. It's basically pre-rationality, rationality, and post or transcendent rationality.
