>>11775374Why do you want the things you do? Why are you attracted to what you are? Why do you feel embarrassment, shame, hope, joy? Most of your basic drives are instinctual, and the motivation given to your conscious mind is in the form of waves of emotion.
You must remember that those emotions are not strictly you. They're programming and low level information processing designed to keep you alive and breeding. You have very little control over these functions and they're always trying to influence you.
Reflection is the practice of considering your conscious and unconscious drives as independent things, and considering the merits of each. I think some people begin doing this very early in their life, naturally giving the unconscious a "voice". It's not actually a little voice in your head, it's just the ability to immediately know what part of you is pushing for a particular action. That knowledge naturally comes in as words to explain the feeling as a live stream.
That is the best way I can describe it. People without this generally are skeptical that the skill/ability actually exists. I assure you it does, but I have no way to prove it. You could run a study across people who say they have this voice or not, and measure their emotional control, but I don't think such a study has been done.
