Research conducted over the last 10 years and more has shown that voices (auditory–verbal hallucinations (AVHs)) are experienced widely in the general population and are not necessarily indicative of psychopathology. People who hear voices who are diagnosed with mental disorders are typically found to have more negative emotional experiences in association with their voices and more maladaptive coping mechanisms.10 Others, in contrast, experience their voices positively, describe having more control over their experiences and may interpret them in a spiritual or religious context.11 Comparison studies have often used non-clinical control groups selected for frequent experiences of voice hearing, but not all such experiences are frequent. Selection on this basis biases against certain types of voices, including infrequent spiritually significant voices, and thus may skew results towards finding an apparent phenomenological overlap.
this shit is all weird to me too. cause like I am certifiably insane. I never know if I am talking to God or the devil or my subconscious brain.
Some people say "God doesn't talk back" or think that the voices in my head are demonic.
Some people hear voices and it is normal cause they are just chit-chatting with God.
It could be dependent upon the individual person. Does this person reflect the behavior of someone God would "choose" to "commune" with. Lijke sometimes I think people think God doesn't talk to people who smoke cigarettes or smoke marijuana all day. I just don't know why some people are getting diagnosed crazy and some are getting popular in their bible study groups.
It is all weird. Cause when I first started hearing "God". There was like a big battle between God and a demon in my brain. I could like hear them yelling at eachother and the demon, or "ghost" left.
All strange, cause what the fuck. I never heard a voice in my head and I didn't believe in God. I didn't believe in demons or ghosts. So I am just wtf.
I don't believe in God at the time but this voice in my head… I can hear it. I don't trust it.
It is hard to rehash the whole story and recall cause it was years ago.
I just remember a war in my brain and God won.
But then the voice wasn't God anymore.
It was the pleadians
and then the US military and the united nations.
Who fucking knows.
But I think it interesting these science people are studying the relgious nature of peoples crazy disorders. Cause I find that shit interesting and everyone else is screaming about demons torturing them with voices in their head and shit.
I guess there could be possessed schizo and schizo that is not possessed. I never heard any "evil" voices other than that ghost demon thing.
