Before I start talking about this, I wanted to let everyone know that I am safe and I'm not in a crisis of any kind right now. I have been experiencing this phenomenon for a very long time, since early in the 2000s, and even to some extent before that. Although I don't enjoy it, I am able to live with it. So this is *not* a 'please help me' or 'call the cops' type of thread.
How does the phenomenon of hearing voices fit into your personal experience of religion? Do you meditate and talk to other voices in your head that answer you and give you knowledge, information, and perspectives on things that you could not have known by yourself? I have heard and read of many, many different people talking to voices in their heads and interpreting it as a religious experience. It is extremely common. In fact, there was an attempt to start the 'Hearing Voices Movement,' a group of people advocating that it wasn't all that unusual, abnormal, or sick to hear voices. (It's on Google, of course.) Many people are calling themselves 'Indigo' and interpreting these things as a psychic ability.
I have been having discussions with voices in my head for a very long time, but in the beginning, it seemed to be benign. In about 2003, a series of events happened which led to the voices and attacks becoming much worse and no longer benign.
I started researching radio frequency weapons and other methods of putting voices into people's heads, and my interpretation of my experience is that I am being attacked by real, physical, living human beings on planet earth who are talking to me by using electronic weapons.
However, many religious people say prayers and talk to God or their various forms of gods, depending on what religion they have, and it is benign or helpful to them, not an attack. They also might have attacks and interpret it as being caused by demons, evil entities, or some other supernatural creatures.
I am an atheist, and I have a naturalistic interpretation of the universe: everything that happens has some natural cause which can potentially be understood, in principle, although in reality we can't possibly trace the causes of every single event that happens in the universe. Even if there were psychic entities flying around, we would, theoretically, be able to research them scientifically.
What is your relationship with the entities that interact with you? Do you take their advice, do you see them as wise and benevolent and helpful, do you see them as giving you meaningless noise and gibberish, do you see them as harmful and controlling or violent and abusive?
I don't know about many different religions, but I remember reading about gnosticism. If I recall correctly, the gnostics felt that even if God did exist, he might be more of an enemy than a friend. If an all-powerful being is controlling everything, then that being has the power to totally destroy you, and you are his slave. Not everyone wants to be enslaved to an all-powerful entity. That is how I feel about the 'entities' that are interacting with me.
And yet, sometimes, they are benevolent to me. I have had many interesting conversations and discussions with them. They have convinced me of things which I probably would not have realized on my own.
Many, many people interact with voices and other entities in their minds, and everyone interprets it differently. I chose one interpretation: humans with electronic weapons. Other people have chosen other interpretations. Even though I interpret the voices as coming from humans, I am interacting with them in a way that resembles many people's experiences of prayer, and the interactions are not always evil and harmful - they are often benign.
If I could get rid of the voices, I would. I would prefer to have free will. In the future when I get my life more settled, I will research how the attacks are being done, and I will research ways to shield myself against them. I will find out whether there are places on earth where I don't hear voices anymore. For now, I have to postpone that project.
If you talk to voices in your head, have you ever felt that you wished they weren't there bothering you and telling you what to do? Do they ever do anything that you experience as negative?
For me, the key was to completely stop using all drugs. I still drink caffeine, for now, although I'll be quitting that again too - I've quit caffeine for long periods of time in the past. But psychiatric drugs like antidepressants can make you go crazy and can make you hear the voices in your head even more clearly, and can make you much more disturbed and distressed by them. Now that I am drug-free, the voices and attacks are much more benign again.
