Experiment success: rewiring this brain to be able to turn off mental-chatter at will. Wow. Almost weeping with gratitude.

Turning it off is easy (okaynotwithoutpractice). Getting it to *stay* off seems to be profoundly difficult, however.

I have zero interest in trying to get it to stay off. I and Awareness have no quarrel anymore.

Fair point. I have some other issues that *feel* connected w/mental chatter, but I suspect the chatter is just surface-level epiphenomena.
The more I disidentify from the mental chatter, the more it drops off on its own. The Awareness is blissfully quiet.
