How to 'silence' the old brain.... Well, smoking pot tends to help SOME people do that!!! I don't really know that you can silence the one, for the other is just as important. You need the balance of old and new... Some may say meditate. I don't thinkthat would really 'silence' the old brain it may just have the opposite effect. sorry but i'm just too stoned for this craziness right now. let me ask you this, *why* SILENCE it!?
