Psychological interpretation
The silent conversations one carries on with people who are not present, arguing with vehemence, fear or hatred, set in motion by imagination the events one will presently encounter; what one hears and says within is echoed back from without. So the inner talk is to be controlled: replace the habitual argument with an imagined conversation implying the fulfilled desire, in which nothing expresses the slightest doubt, since the imagined conversation awakens what it affirms.

Own wordings
carrying on an imaginary argument with one not present
not realizing that he is setting in motion, by his imagination, an unpleasant event which he will presently encounter
Your imagined conversation must awaken what it affirmed
If you do not control your imagination, you will find that you are hearing and saying all that you formerly heard and said
your mental conversations are more revealing than your physical conversations are
If, in your mental conversations with others, you talk with them as you formerly did, then you have not changed your concept of self
the track it follows is laid down by the man himself in his own internal conversations
speech mirrors your mind and your mind mirrors God
Speech is the image of mind
