Voices in my head

[Greywolf69]

last year, on a couple of occations, i heard a voice in my head. the first time i heard the voice, it asked "how are you being controlled?" and about a month or so later, i heard another voice (not sure if it was the same one) that said "you will lead my army." im not too sure of what to make of it. at the times that i heard the voices, i was living alone, and, of course, reading and trying to figure things out for myself. anyone have any similar occurances or ideas on what to make of it? (both times i heard the voices, i was lying down on the floor [i didnt have a bed at that time and slept on the floor] either going to sleep, or while i was merely taking a nap ... or so i thoght i was)

what was your impression of the voices, what feeling did you have when you heard them? was the voice full of love, gentleness and warmth?

i had an experience when i was driving to a town a fair distance from me for a meeting for my work at that time. as i was driving i was thinking about all the cars on all the roads in the world and the noise and vibrations caused by all this traffic moving along the surface of the earth and i felt such a strong need to apologise to gaia for contributing to that by driving that day. she answered with such love, and similar to you it was a voice in my head, although the words used were less important than the feeling of love and acknowledgement :)

i hear my name being called sometimes when i'm falling asleep. it could be many things. david suggests that these things can be our higher selves trying to speak to us, though figuratively, so don't try to take these as direct commands etc.

'how are you being controlled' could be simply a call to look at your surroundings and be more aware of those who are tying to use you for their own goals rather than in a cooperative nature.

'you will lead my army' "you" and "my" are most likely the same person, maybe a call to the idea of leadership in your own life? taking charge of the issues in your own life?

[Greywolf69]

to butterfriends, i dont really recall any kind of feeling ... the voices were gentle, but there really wasnt any positive or negativeity to them. at least, none that i could tell. but it did make me think (even though that is all i can really do).

and to ewhaz, you could be right. now, the question i have to ask myself is, what areas do i need to work on i guess. someone at work asked if i were to stay where i am currently working now (although i do not like my job at all) how i would help to make things better. my response was simply, it doenst matter to me ... i dont plan on being here more than a year. i was kind of the same at my previous job, but substitute 1 year for 5 years. maybe, even though i am at some place for a short period of time, maybe my actions, thought, and such affect others both directly and indirectly. so i should try and help out i guess. but then i ask, how can i do that when all i can really think about is my spiritual evolution? the things i need to do and things i should do, and things of the sort.

dear graywolf,

i can relate to your job "trouble". i've been with the same foundation for more than 11 years, reason being that my job/role changes all of the time so it doesn't feel like the same job from year to year. however, i have had my share of bad years... the last 2 in particular have been brutal. now, for most of those two years i was pretty much taking zero responsibility for my misery. i was blaming everything on my newest manager (who truly is a piece of work by the way, but that's beside the point :) but just in the past few months i've started to make my own joy and spread it around and it's made all of the difference. so no matter what's going on workwise i focus on serving others... what can i do day by day, moment by moment, to share something positive with those i come in contact with. a simple smile is like a mini-miracle for some people and it's so easy to do. just as in relationships, we take our baggage with us as we move from one job to the next. so choosing to be content right where you are at every moment is up to you.

know that your spiritual evolution involves "helping out" and serving others... it's simpler than you think. love is the answer...

you know all of this already...

there is also no reason why you couldn't bring some spirituality into the workplace. not religion of course but spirituality. i was reading a q'uo channeling from 10/13/07 recently about this. here's a snip of it.
would it interest you to know that in every key of the computer there is a spirit sitting upon it, laughing and sharing with you the joy of being used, of serving, and of being a part of that dance which you and your computer keys are doing?

would it make a difference if you could see the angel that is sitting on the edge of your wastebasket or resting, literally, upon your shoulder or placing its head upon your knee, so happy is it to be in your presence?

....we are suggesting that that very work-a-day world is full of angels and spirits and guidance and the beloved.

dear greywolf,

i'd be interested to see what others have to say about this too.
i've only heard a voice once. months back, i was driving home, singing my heart out with josh groban, when this voice says "your life will resemble that of ruth." (ruth from scriptures) i felt like it was as if someone was in the car with me. i nearly slammed on my breaks cuz it was so real. i stopped singing, cuz i was like "what?" i came home and told jame and he said i was crazy. he was smiling when he said that. :) he said he wasn't going anywhere! :) so i didn't know what to think. and now learning more about how our thoughts become reality, i'm trying hard not to even think about it. i'm wondering if negative entities are trying to bother me. they know i worry too much, so i'm wondering if they are just trying to distract me? i honestly don't know. i think the only thing i feel as though i can do is: just take it as it is. prepare myself for anything that comes my way, and then just stop thinking about it. and live in today!

wow manny, what a beautiful quote you referenced from q'uo:

"would it interest you to know that in every key of the computer there is a spirit sitting upon it, laughing and sharing with you the joy of being used, of serving, and of being a part of that dance which you and your computer keys are doing?

....we are suggesting that that very work-a-day world is full of angels and spirits and guidance and the beloved."

what an inspiration... i'm going to print this and read it every day.

thanks for sharing,
kelly

ok, im fairly new to forums in general, so i am not sure how to put quotes from previous replies, so please forgive me.

to supermanny : i understand that i shouldnt really feel like that about work merely for the fact that work is a part of life and that i should enjoy all aspects of life. i find myself getting aggravated, then i realize i am really just aggravated at myself i guess for not really doing what i am supposed to be doing, or at least doing what i feel i should be ... even though i am not too sure what that is. i have a hard time concentrating on my job (even though i deal with chemicals such as hydroflouric acid, sulferic acid, pyroforic materials, ect., ect.) so safety is a big issue. now i dont really lack on the safety issue, because i dont want anyone to get hurt. what i do have a hard time concentrating on is the technical part of it. all i seem to think about is, well, life, the prime creator, anything and everythings having to do with spiritual evolution. now, im not saying that i am angry or upset at work all the time, because i do shake off the anger and smile and laugh (what else can i do?) and make others laugh. maybe i need to find other kind of work? (short background ... been working since i was 14 years old ... 4 years in the military ... 5 years working for lockheed martin .. and now i am here ... if anyone is or was wondering my age, i am 30, but i feel like a child inside)

the best thing to do when you start hearing voices in your head is to tread carefully.

carefully as in a: how much credence you lend to what you hear, and b: who you tell about it.

that said, i admit that i have heard the odd voice myself. i think it's something that is always going on (i mean, there are always entities out there trying to communicate with us), but only on rare occasions are we able to make out what they're saying. one of those is on the way in to or out of sleep, apparently.

i did hear my name once; though the voice was strange: it sounded as it would were the one who spoke it made entirely out of thousands of tiny bells. i don't know if that makes sense, but i read it has something to do with the angels/angel realm. i don't know for sure. but it was really nice and very clear - not a dream at all. i heard it upon waking one morning.

[Magical_Mongoose]

great subject. i've had many dreams over these past months where i'll be talking with someone and hear their voice directly in my head. i know this is to be expected in a dream, but their words of wisdom, their appearance, their "vibe" and the manner in which they speak suggest that it's coming from "external" sources...almost entirely of a positive nature.
the fact that you heard similar things suggests that the veil between your unconscious and conscious mind was lessened...which can be particularly dangerous if not approached cautiously and with discernment. it's easy to get thrown around in these waters, so take it one step at a time if you're curious in exploring this further and get a good amount of rest! getting few hours of sleep can be a shortcut, but it will reduce the strength of your energy body and leave you malleable by let's call them "less-savoury forces" ;)
the only voices i've heard while awake or in meditation have been of my "own", but that's not to say the nature of the information was coming from my normal, 3d self ;) it usually though has to be translated within this form because the conscious mind always seeks to make sense of and filter information, both information derived from the physical senses but especially information that bypasses them entirely.

yeah, aside from posting that in this thread, only like 4 poeple know that, and they are very close to me. i am cautious what i say and to whom.

as for the tiny bells that made up a voice, johnasmodeus, it makes sense. = )

greywolf,

i find that statement not only interesting but very telling... as souls we are at different stages of development. some of us have lived more lives than others and are therefore "older souls". i would be interested in what some of you "expersts" have to say about this.

blessings,

to mongoose:
there in lies one of my problems ... i have a hard time sleeping well. i sleep, maybe 2 or 3 hours, and i wake up ... i hardly sleep all the way through (i guess my mind is racing all the time, even when i try to quiet it). i dont take sleeping pills, cause i dont like taking medicine or any sleep aid that my body will become dependant on later on. now this is going off the thread a little, but i heard that it is better if we take 2 hour naps, spread through out the day (i believe einstein had that type of sleep patern). supposedly, we would be able to get more done.?

1) the military~~the cia has perfected--and already has put into use--microwave technology that can project voices into people's heads anytime, anywhere.


2) radio waves~~if you have mercury/silver fillings in your teeth, occasionally they can pick up radio broadcasts and and relay them in your own head. it's the weirdest feeling, like having an internal radio station right in one's head and it can be totally maddening, as one may not be able to stop those internal broadcasts right away.

3) negatives~~negatives can and do insert some suggestions to short-circuit one's positive path.

4) higher self~~occasionally, one's higher self can break through the veil and get an ego to hear something. mostly this happens in dreams, though, occasionally, it happens during waking hours.


to protect yourself from unwanted, unwarranted voice-in-the-head influences, you only need to firmly invoke the awesome power of your higher self and the living light of the infinite creator. the voices that remain would likely be the ones that are truth, as only truth can stand the intense light of the infinite.

[Greywolf69]

to motzart,
i do have fillings in my teeth, but i dont know if they would be radio waves since both times i heard them was just one sentence and one question. i was in the military and they did put me under to remove all 4 of my wisdom teeth, so there really is no telling if anything was done/implanted in me. as for the negatives and higher self, it is possible.

geez, i've never had anybody sum up exactly how i feel about myself as succinctly as you did - about you!

all i've ever thought about was god, it seems. i see everything else as a thin surface layer of concern that i'm forced by circumstance (being human) to engage myself in. but the bulk of the planetary body of thought that it encircles is made of thoughts of heaven, of home, of those passed, of my own nature as creator, etc. been this way since i was tiny.

i wanted to be a priest until i learned that you have to go to school first. i was, maybe, 7. my reaction was, like, "but i don't want to go to school to learn how to be what somebody else thinks a priest should be. none of ones that i've met so far know what they're doing. i know already. just give me the robes and let me start." plus then i learned priests can't have girlfriends, and i had two at seven, and wasn't about to give that up. ;-) so i never became a priest.
