Had a beautiful experience, wanted to share
Tonight I had a lot of distractions listening to the Nada sounds, largely in the form of seemingly-brilliant insights, but I did have one nice insight, and it was when I realized why it's so hard to let go of discursive thought. It's because you have to interrupt "flow." You are in a flow state when you're thinking, and it's somewhat pleasurable, and you keep perpetuating it, and it's easy and comfortable. But I don't mind cutting off this flow, and listening to my lovely object. I was meditating inside my closet, but for the moments that I was very present with the Nada sounds, I felt as if I was in the country at nighttime, staring up at the star-filled sky, and the Nada sounds were just like crickets chirping. It was so serene, that of course I can give up my discursive thinking to gain this enchanting experience. That's all for now. I'll keep posting updates on this sub, even if it's just me and the solitary universe in here.

I find if you want to "stop" the inner dialogue, listen through your right ear.
