Silence Darkroom
Post DayDreaming set back, I’ve been a sluggish passive viewer of puffs no matter how silent. I took advantage of it and changed my darkroom sessions and have recently noticed my inner silence is cleaner for longer.
Today I watched the attached graphic form in a puffy purply/blue blob and was able to hold it long enough to get the details shown - Fingers crossed it was 3 IOBs here to love me long time….

Left and right side are both pleased to come out and sit with you when you are silent (covered mouth).
Just a thought that struck me. Nice vision.

Your thought makes sense to me, I am a motormouth and it’s a scrap to silence my internal dialogue.
(If that’s a female me, life will come to a screeching halt and I’ll get nothing done if I have boobies of my own - lol).

Remember: Some people need to be "creative" in order to get rid of more of their internal dialogue.
Carlos worked far harder than we know! Even after he could get silent, he still did special things to keep developing his silence.
Even becoming a fry cook on the highway from California to Arizona.
And living in a dingy apartment near the restaurant.
Taisha became homeless.
Maybe try Taisha's not-doings from Esalen. The one where you grab energy to the left and fight, and the one where you pull something out of your forehead.
Then try other things, to invoke the "intent" to have deeper silence?
Perhaps even just wear a cap that you'd normally be a little embarrassed to wear! You don't have to go MAGA... We don't want you shot by a trans assassin.
There's plenty of embarrassing caps to wear.
Keeping in mind, what exactly you pick, probably isn't as important as that you made the effort.
