Carlos Castaneda. The Fire from Within
A man is dying. At the moment when his physical suffering reaches its limit, he hears the doctor pronounce him dead. He hears some kind of ringing and, at the same time, he senses himself moving very rapidly through a long, dark tunnel. Suddenly, he finds himself outside of his own physical body.

Chapter 1. Preparation. Stopping the inner monologue. Three techniques
1. What is the inner monologue
Normally, a person mentally talks to themselves, even in complete solitude. Many people don't notice this constant «chatterbox» in their head and believe that they hear their own thoughts, that it's their inner voice. There are those who say they don't hear their inner monologue, but when, with an effort of will, they pay attention to it, they can easily hear it.
So, some voice that we are accustomed to considering «our own» constantly comments on what is happening around us, our memories, or dreams. When attempting to stop it with willpower, it becomes uncomfortable for a person, as the habit of talking to oneself has firmly rooted itself in our consciousness. We constantly hear within ourselves: «I need to go prepare lunch; tomorrow at work, I'll first do this, then that; my nose is itching; how nice it is outside; finally, spring has arrived…» and so on.
The internal monologue becomes especially strong when a person feels hurt, anger, worry, or other intense emotions. Sometimes we repeat the same thing several times, especially if we are preparing for an important meeting or lacking self-confidence. If we ask psychologists, they will say that it is normal: verbalizing our thoughts is a habit, a common trait of consciousness. However, the more we observe our internal dialogue from an outside perspective, the more we notice that the chatter in our head becomes a wall that separates us from reality. It's as if we retreat inside ourselves and fail to notice anything around us.
