Hearing voices
The Awakened One
least not that can be empirically demonstrated) is considered a
symptom of schizophrenia. And that may be what I have. I don't know.
Or schizophrenia could just be a name for "something we don't
understand but need a name for, but could be an objective or
semi-objective phenomenon just the same" ("semi-objective" in the same
way that dreams, the phenomenon, are objective occurrences - they
occur, are empirically verifiable as far as the fact of their
occurrence and their existence is beyond dispute, but dreams, the
events, are subjective experiences that cannot be empirically observed
or seriously "interpreted" by any but the dreamer).
I don't know what's happening to me, but I've been hearing voices and
they are getting stronger. They are innocuous at the moment, and
appear to be "people" of some sort that exist in a sort of "Silent
Hill"-esque component of reality, where it's the same world but a
different "view", so to speak, where the two views don't generally
interact so much as interbuild, or interdepend. I tend to think of it
as "the next room over", it's like they are people just a mere hair's
breadth away in this other part of reality, but it's off in a 4D
direction and so because I only have 3D senses (for the most part), I
can't directly look at them. I hear them talking and making comments
on things that I do - they sound like regular people, there is nothing
strange about their voices or their language, though admittedly I
generally can't hear them clearly enough to know what they're saying,
so I suppose they could be speaking in another language & I wouldn't
know it. Though frequently, I hear the phrase, "Look at that," and
while it's often seeming to be in response to something I'm doing, it
isn't always.
They feel more like my "family", if that makes sense. Like I'm a child
who's stepped into a different room for a moment, and they're watching
me from the other side of a two-way mirror, unable to directly
intervene in the things I do, and sometimes not even always able to
understand my movements, even if I have explained them or typed them
out or am acting from a script (I do acting sometimes, just amateur &
personal stuff). I only get infrequent glimpses of them, either
audible or sometimes visual, though those aren't visual hallucinations
like you might think. They are internal experiences - images that
don't really make much sense.
I am fully prepared to believe these are nothing more than
schizophrenic hallucinations. But I have to fully explore all
possibilities before I can accept that, and I know some believers in
alien affairs report similar phenomenon. They wouldn't be "aliens" so
much as they would be "us" - the real "us", not the "us" we think we
are when we are awake and in this world. The "underlying self", so to
speak.
I'm curious what believers think of this sort of thing. As you can
tell by my name and no doubt from posts past, I've always had an
interest in UFOs & the like, though never a firm conviction like many
of those often dubbed "True Believers". I think it possible the world
is every bit as strange at that, but I also think it possible that
life is relatively rare, especially life like ours, and that all these
"voices" we hear collectively from among the stars are naught more
than cultural daydreams.
Who knows? I don't, and maybe never will for certain.
Just stretching out a few tentacles to see what they touch upon. :-) I
may be schizophrenic, possibly, but if I am, I don't appear to be
delusional - meaning I don't take the things I see & hear seriously,
not seriously enough to form a solid world-view upon at least, &
certainly not seriously enough to heed their instructions to kill or
injure (those have not occurred, but if they would, they would not be
heeded - I'd have myself committed if I heard such voices and felt the
urge to heed them, which is perhaps why such voices have not made
themselves heard <G>).
Anyway, if it's an hallucination, fine, if it's real, that's fine too
- I don't really care either way. I figure the world is what it is,
and if this is some external part of it that only some of us
occasionally glimpse into (whether we want to or not), that isn't any
less or more astounding to me than a world where such phenomenon are
purely illusory. :-)

I have heard voices in the past. I hear them with my ears, not in my
head. I heard the voices of Nordic aliens.
I hope you're hearing voices with your ears too. If so, they may be
aliens or ghosts that are talking to you.

Also, most importantly, it is investigating voices (auditory hallucinations) so please complete a survey http://hearingvoices.info/HearingVoicesSurvey1.aspx Please help by completing the survey. It will only take about 6 - 8 minutes.
A database of (good and bad) voices and other verbal auditory hallucinations is being created (https://hearingvoices.info/VoicesDiary.aspx). It will enable thorough investigation from an unusual point of view. It aims to make sure that unpleasant and hostile voices become kinder and more tolerable. It also aims to discover the origin of voices.

Very interesting. I wrote the post to which you're replying about 7
years ago. I've been absent from Usenet much of that time, and now,
just when I deck to come back to my favorite groups of interest, I
find this. It took 3 or 4 paragraphs of quoted text before I realized
I was reading a reply to my own near-ancient words. Kinda' a funny
feeling to it. :-). Thanks for the info, I'm checking it out now. :-)
