Re: The mind's inner voice ...

Thanks for asking
What about many inner voices? Do you have one, or more than one? <g>
How do you distinguish your true inner voice, triggered by your own
metacognition
from schizophrenia?
My inner voice has mostly wisdom I tend to listen to it (buy milk without
consciously knowing that milk had finished, just to find out later that
indeed milk had finished), but sometimes it is 'not right'(and I only find
out a posteriori, after finding out that my intuition was not spot on, or
even wrong) . In my theory our brain is a powerful processing with a lot of
backend processes, that we are not conscious of, but it also comes with
noise.
Learning how to distinguish the noice requires increasing levels of
metacognition
Kind of listening to the voice about the voice. I can then truly appreciate
the silence
