Which Dialogue is Guiding the Conversation, Inner or Outer?

I was introduced to the concept of an inner and outer dialogue by some comments that were made about the personal journals of Henry David Thoreau. To be honest I can't remember anything about what was said but I do remember the idea of a dialogue between the inner and the outer.
This is a great way to conceptualize facing any challenge. Because there is this inner self that almost all of us have that is courageous, and strong, and fearless. Basically we all have a yolk and it's the only part of us that is "tasty." Then there is the outer self. This is the self that has become acquainted with the "real" world. This is the part of us that we also all possess who is constantly telling us that we can't do what we know we have the ability to accomplish. Yes that means that we all have a "white" the bland uninteresting adventure hating portion of ourselves.
There is no true struggle with outside forces in our lives, not really. Yes there are things that we cannot control. Yes there are people that inflict evil and terrible things on others in the world. The reason being is because we always have the ability to answer back to any and every opposition that may come present itself. When you get hit do you get up or do you stay down? When you fail miserably and publicly on the platform, do you come back and try again or do you slink away into the shadows? When you fall down when you're pushed down, when you are broken down is that where and how you stay?
Like it or not this opposing dialogue is always going on. Unfortunately because the "white" of our egg selves is a bit more in tune with the sophistries of our current environment the "white" always has a better spokesman. It is like the "white" portion of this ridiculous analogy hired the devil and slapped an attorney's suit on him and gave hime the keys to the kingdom. You know what that sucks, but it makes it oh so sweet when you take control.
Since the conversation is always going on then there is no reason not to give the reigns to the inner self that still knows how to dream and see beyond the horizon. You see a funny thing happens when you do this. Just like in nature when the egg is fertilized the yolk kicks in to over drive and eventually "CONSUMES" the white for energy! You hear that Satan you get devoured by and egg yolk in this weird weightlifting analogy. The funny thing is the developing life in the yolk can't survive without the white to be its' sustenance. That means without the naysaying inner self side of us there would not be enough fuel to unleash the power of the yolk! Ok I can't take this egg imagery anymore.
Suffice it to say that everyone of us is insulated by what seems to be the worst of us but without that we would run out of gas and stop developing. So next time you stand up a clean PR remember you might as well jerk it because you are now in charge of the conversation.
