Feelings of suicide and an inability to function socially or keep a
job are the hallmarks of some sort of neurological problem. In such
cases, your judgment of your own mental state may well be impaired
also. Understand that a neurological problem may not be the same
thing as a "mental problem". Although the symptoms you describe may
well match a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, there may be other
neurological conditions that would apply.

Intelligence is not an insulation against neurological malfunction.
Are you familiar with the story of John Nash?
I have to agree with what Tom said, although I think he could have put it
more tactfully. You might have other mental problems without knowing it
yourself. However people do sometimes have hallucinations without anything
else. Best ask your doctor's opinion about this.
>...a voice that tips you on a sale where you can buy discounted grocery
This is interesting. Perhaps you could set it a test of some kind, asking
it to find out something you couldn't know even subconsciously. If it got
the answer right you would know that it was more complicated than just a
random hallucination.

No, sorry, I was just speculating. You asked how could removing an entity
produce only a partial cure, and I was trying to think of possible answers.
If the acupuncture made a 70% improvement as you say, then it did better
than most treatments, either conventional or alternative.
Have you looked into the Hearing Voices Network? Are they any use?
A. B.
They got any tips, hints or useful information? Or are they just nags?

If there is a 70% improvement it means there was more than one entity.
You might like to try the "Psychic Self Defense" forums at www.astraldynamics.com
if you don´t get much response here. I don´t have much time at the
moment (at an internet cafe) but I have been researching this subject
for some time and it seems that Magnetic Pulse machines are quite
effective at banishing these "voices" (regardless of what they might
be).

Sorry if you described it before but can you tell me what the voice(s)
are like, are they in your inner ear? Where do they seem to be when
you hear them (in your head, back of neck etc)? Do you ever get any
pin prick or pins-and-needles sensations anywhere?
Try to just be a good person to other people and try not to make
problems.
The conscience that may be using voices to goad you will soon adjust
itself to new behaviors and you'll end up being much more at peace and
capable of living well. Don't hate the voices in your head outright,
just don't go doing anything they tell you.
If they, the "voices", find that your not a suitable host because your
a good person then they were bad to begin with.
If they like the good things your doing then chances are they were
just there to help in the first place.
From the perspective of them being "entities" at all, and not just
effluvia you've picked up in your daily activities subconsciously and
had your brain assemble as "organized perceptions" that interact with
your experience of yourself.
If they are just neurological problems then none of that other stuff
will help and psychiatric care is recommended, in the very least,
cognitive therapy.
You can choose to ignore this advice, i'm sure it probably sounds too
simple and straightforward to help you then some 'high-falutin'
metamysticism' you might be looking for.
Chances are though, that if you are having problems with your living
then these buggers aren't helping, they are hurting, and it's either
an early warning for prevention of further problems, or a sign that
your'e in trouble.
Please, be careful when using your mind/body/soul in unconventional
ways. When you experiment in these waters you run the serious risk of
engaging with things or parts of yourself, that recipe aside, you
might not be prepared to encounter.
Theres A REASON Kabbalists were supposed to wait til they were married
with kids at 40 before they were initiated. This early spurting into
the esoteric of our generation may have hurt us more than helped us in
the long run. Many unintended consequences could have occured as a
result of taking minds at a young age and introducing them to
intensely reality bending experiences before those minds had an
opportunity to even know what their reality WAS in the first place.
Sure this sounds marmy, and it probably is, to YOU. Nevertheless, be
careful, please and heed the advice given, from a VETERAN PSYCHONAUT.
You´re making a judgement here that the person isn´t already doing so.
If I am swimming in the Adriatic Sea and there are sharks there, being
a good person isn´t going to help me that much.

The last part is good advice.

Or they are just parasites... "Larvae" as Eliphas Levi calls them in
his book "Trancendental Magic". The Universe is full of predators,
even on the Astral planes. Just because a mosquito takes some of my
blood doesn´t mean I have to make that mean something other than it
wanted to eat part of me to survive. Some things are simpler than they
at first appear without having to involve religious concepts such as
"conscience" or a "lesson from Gawd" etc.

Chances are they are fooling the person into thinking they are there
to help so the person will allow them to stick around a bit longer.
Especially if they weren´t invited.
You posited a lot of good points. I probably was projecting malicious
intent cause I've had a problem with that recently, but yeah even
"green energy demons" and other mindless power parasites.
If them twilight kiddies knew what most actual vampires were they'd
probably go back to drinking milk.
Hearing voices can be part of the multiple personality condition.
If you Google for multiple personality there are several thousand hits.
In the UK, a television program covered the life of someone
with several independent (the current personality did not know the
others existed) personalities.
It was interesting in that the TV presenter elicited the subjects
response to the recording of one of their other personalities,
of which of course they had no memory.
In some criminal trials the defence tries the tack that the
defendant was "told to do it" by inner voices.
"Inner dialog" with yourself, or another personality within
yourself, is interesting, because there are ways of turning
off the inner dialog.
It's a bit like riding a bike, a skilled facilitator can teach
you in about and hour (or less) and once taught you never
forget how to do it. It didn't seem to be a hypnotic process but
the facilitator has to entrain your thought process and
lead you through the process of turning off the inner voice.
(I speculate whether it would have to be done for each
personality)
You best course is to seek professional advice.
With visions the approach is "What do you see?" "When
did it appear?" "What was - etc, etc?" there is a sequence of
questions that should be followed to elicit their nature and
cause.
The auditory stimulus you describe is not supernormal or supernatural.
It is due to overstimulation. The best thing if possible would be to end
it. If you are expecting to hear it, or obsessed with hearing it, this
is part of the anxiety which becomes a part of the circular
overstimulation which caused it in the first place. In other words, a
feedback loop, but not the original cause. the feedback loop can not be
fought against, but the original cause may be dealt with, mitigating
slowly the feedback. Also before I say more, I would strongly suspect
there is a sleep disturbance involved.
I do not know enough about the details of your life, diet or habits to
make very specific suggestions for change. Moreover I am not a
professional healer of any kind. I can make some suggestions. You might
likely have been exposed to stress which produced a surge in adrenaline
which has stimulated an over-reaction in brain chemistry. The stressful
events may have occurred very recently, but more probably months ago,
the further in the past the less likely you are to suspect it as a
cause. An injury or frightful experience. Talking about it with a
professional might help. However, that is not the only possible partial
answer, and it might not work if you get the wrong therapist.
It is very important to get a sensible diet and not use drugs or
substances that might contribute to the problem. Avoid refined food
products such as white flour ingredients, desserts, and instead eat
foods with lower glycemic indexes. An excellent book easily found used
on Amazon, or from a library, or inter-library loan, is "Your Miracle
Brain" by Jean Carper. In this book you will find everything you need to
know about brain nutrition, as well as a list of foods' glycemic
indexes.
:About getting enought sleep; I have found from experience that I can go
to sleep if I lie perfectly still and breathe normally. At some point of
lying still I may find a minor shift in position to relieve a
discomfort, and then I can go to sleep. If I were to become impatient
and roll around, I would not go to sleep.
There are many people, like you have mentioned, who are more than happy
to take your money, and tell you various theories, based on their
profession of how to make a living off other peoples' pain.
> The auditory stimulus you describe is not supernormal or supernatural.
What a mystery. What are they referring to.
