There is no single template that suits all voice hearing experiences.
Voices that manifest are unique to each individual although there are similarities in general also.
How might we better understand and adapt to these challenges and empower ourselves to take more personal control?
Helpful voices. Hurtful voices. Guiding voices. Prompting voices. Soothing Voices. Troubling voices.
Creative voices. Destructive voices. Clarifying voices. Confusing voices.
Voice hearing experiences take many forms and affect us in different ways.
Investigate. Educate. Liberate your thinking.
Welcome to this website and thank you for visiting.
Human beings have likely been having voice hearing experiences since the development of spoken language, from the ancient Greeks and their "daemons", their immersion in Oracle cultures and their established beliefs that it was possible to commune directly and indirectly with their pantheon of gods.
Then we have the voice experiences of later individuals in our human story who triggered into being still existing religious systems, rules and laws that govern many of us who believe in these strictures today.
Just think of Moses and the Ten Commandments for example. We can see how experience and belief grows to become a living reality for millions of others. These commandments underpin moral and legal jurisdictional functions that are still active in societies and courtrooms across the world today.
Which of us cannot name at least a few of these imperatives? How many can you name?
And what of Abraham, the "father" of the three Abrahimic faiths, who responded to a voice in the sky and led his people on an epic journey? An adventure that led to the birthing of Judiasm, Christianity and Islam, faith systems that hold sway over huge parts of the globe.
