"You
will know when you have succeeded in fixing the
desired state in consciousness by simply looking
mentally at the people you know.
In dialogues with yourself you are less inhibited
and more sincere than in actual conversations with
others, therefore the opportunity for self-analysis
arises when you are surprised by your mental
conversations with others.
If you see them as you formerly saw them, you
have not changed your concept of self, for all
changes of concepts of self result in a changed
relationship to your world."
I have never seen anyone adressing this this before
