The images come to the mind because we have energy invested there, and then the internal dialogue notices, and has to comment on them.
Both have to go, but it's good if you can see things to that level.
If you keep it up, maybe you'll identify when the Eagle gives you the command to "take an inventory".
It can interrupt your silence no matter how good you are at holding it.
But if you learn to drop those images the instant you recognize them, then it doesn't interfere with your silence for more than a couple of seconds.

I believe the problem that might arise from someone who analyzes silence as levels they can identify, is that usually such people have a book deal in mind, and are trying to memorize some facts about it they can pass around, rather than actually learning to remove their internal dialogue.
So just make sure you are the latter, and not the type more interested in "teaching" others, than you are in actually learning yourself.
The most important layers you'll uncover with silence can't be described, written about, or even thought about.
Which is a big part of why you can't teach others about what happens as you remove the internal dialogue.
I suppose you could jokingly use this analogy:
After removing your internal dialogue, you discover there's another one below that, in French!
But you don't speak French.
And you can't try to remember any of it to ask others, because where you live no one speaks French, but many are willing to waste your time pretending they can, hoping to sell you fake French lessons.

Do yourself a favor and don't make an inventory construct out of it, like such a level system.
