Not just schizophrenia that is a problem here. I did not know 10% suffer from schizophrenia. And maybe reality is higher than 10%. And what is the criteria for being labeled schizophrenia. Maybe 30% or more are close to schizophrenia.
Being rational I think I can safely conclude that the other 90% suffer from an over active mind with a lot of imagination going on. Considering the fact that most people are DATA-junks watching maybe 1 h TV, smartphone, Facebook, WhatsApp, phone on daily basis [I don't use these but I did spend now 2,5 month on RF, so before I also becoming a DATA-junk maybe good to have a sabbatical]. Obviously the human mind is nowadays FULL of messages. And then it is almost impossible to "know which is which".
Psychology knows that such an overactive mind needs sleep to process all. Many people sleep not so well.
When people tell they hear "God" speak, I wonder "are you aware of `inner chatter` going on all day, and how do you filter real message out?". I did see on internet a few and my feeling was "it sounds to me it is their priest talking, or their parents/spouse is talking here or their guilt feeling, fear..."
When I was young we had those radios you needed to find the right frequency. A lot of chatter on those lines.
To create a "chatter-free" mind is not easy. When someone accomplished this, then I am inclined to believe he can hear a pure voice.
But I also believe that "voice is meant for me". Not for others. If voices can speak to me directly they are also perfectly capable of speaking to the other persons [so voice tells me to tell others I tell "tell it yourself"]. I read from @Sunstone a good observation yesterday "In the West they become preachers, and in the East they become enlightened (become silent)". Exactly my thought. Most preachers are "full of chatter" IMHO. I did listen to a few on internet, so can't make a scientific claim, but to me it seems "a lot of chatter is going on".
Schizophrenia is a very invasive illness, approximately 10% of the worlds population suffer it
