I find it so very sad and disconcerting that people believe this is something that needs psychiatric intervention, or that it's schizophrenia. It is nothing of the sort and is in fact VERY normal and even healthy!! The perceived strength or weakness you apply to the whole notion of "hearing voices" is exactly what you apply to it based on your experiences in life.

LISTEN PEOPLE. We are ALL constantly bombarded by so much mental and outside noise these days, so obsessed with these visions we consider "normal" because that is what society constantly tells us. "You are not good enough", "you are not normal", "you are INSANE if you hear voices"....the truth is...that you are insane if you do NOT hear them!!! Just because everyone else ignores it and filters it out with all sorts of medicine and pills does not make the practice of ignoring this inner voice any less insane.

In Eckhart Tolle's book "The Power Of Now" as well as in Neale Donald Walsch's "Conversations With God", we are encouraged as spirits and souls...indeed, the very bodies of God....to listen to our intuition, listen to these voices.

And anything that would try to make you believe you are anything LESS than PERFECT in the eyes of God is a lie....because God does NOT create imperfection, nor does He ALLOW or ENCOURAGE us as beings of the free choice HE gave us to be anything less than perfect in his eyes.

Thoughts are not "right" or "wrong", they are simply value judgments. But as long as you believe you are wrong....as long as you give in to anything that would bring you down from the glory that is truly YOURS and OURS in God's, or the Universe's, or the Inner Voice's eyes....as long as you believe the media and your therapist's and psychologist's perpetual lies.....as long as you act like everyone else and say "I'm INSANE" or "this spiritual stuff is total BS".....

You'll feel worse, alienated, cut off, restricted from your full potential. This, your soul cannot and WILL NOT accept forever, because the soul rebels naturally to anything that would limit it.

We ARE God, or a greater spiritual being, however you view it. In His and It's and Her very image and likeness, not simply a copy, or a child of, or one part of.....but we ARE all functioning parts of this bigger and greater thing...that is SO MUCH MORE than we feel right now.

We've been taught to believe we deserve punishment and to sacrifice ourselves. This is not necessary because a sacrifice implies loss. All you have to do, all ANYONE needs to do, is truly LISTEN!!!

And if they voice says you are less, that you deserve death, that you should kill things....that is NOT from God. It is somewhere else.

Try observing yourself for just a few moments before you fall asleep. If your thoughts are racing, let them race. Don't judge yourself for them, don't THINK about what you're thinking about....just sort of let it fly....let it all pass through and around you. Listen without judging. Just listen. Just hear. Just listen. Listen. Listen. And eventually you might hear someone say that they love you.

That you are an eternal part of them. That you ARE them. That you can do, have, and be anything you want so long as it is in tune with your desires, your compassion, your love.

That feeling is God. That feeling is Buddha, Krishna, the universe, the inner voice, your superconscious, whatever you wish to call it.

Now LISTEN. Even when it seems wrong from what you've been taught by your fanatical church leaders and fear-mongers. ESPECIALLY when it seems wrong. Cuz God is LOVE, not FEAR.

I love you, and I hope this helps. And you are not insane. And you are definitely not alone.

Good luck. Peace and hugs to all.
