Hearing voices? You're not alone
Aug 27^th, 2009 at 9:40am

"Hearing voices? You're not alone"

....an item on the ABC news site this morning,
Hearing voices? You're not alone
Mental health researchers estimate that about 4 per cent of people experience auditory hallucinations, where they hear voices.
In Australia, the problem has typically been treated with medication. But a network of self-help groups that has been successful overseas is now gradually being rolled out around the country.....

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/08/27/2668099.htm

Do you have demons in your head?

That, is what these voices mostly likely are.

Please, just look at how the self help group [mentioned in the story above] recommends interacting
with these voices!

Quote:

Skills used by group members to cope with the negative voices:

* Poetry
* Listening to music and "walkman"
* Reading
* Talking back to them
* Talking
* Making fun of them
* Medication
* Visualising 'Bombing' them
* Singing
* Smoking!
* Ignoring them!
* Television
* Talking to others about them

AND,

Quote:

Hearing Voices Movement
.....Sandra Escher, a science journalist, who began this work after being challenged by a voice hearer as to why they could not accept the reality of her voice hearing experience. Followers of the Hearing Voices Movement advocate the use of techniques employed by those who have successfully coped with their voices. This can include acceptance and negotiation with the voices.

Alternatively....

Check out this post on an ABC website by the person called 'Lucy',

"......My son has schizophrenia and believes that the goodness of Christianity has saved him. Since reading the bible he no longer sees demons- if the demons ever reappear he reads the bible again and prays and the angels save him. How can I argue with that? better to be saved by an angel than tormented by a demon. That is how he lives with it. I should mention that prior to his illness he was not religious."

SATAN is real.

Demons [evil angels] are real.

And you may wish to deny the existence of God.

But in my experience, this 'reality' is in part, both physical and spiritual.

+++++++++++++

Quote:

"Dear Father, please guide my steps.
Please teach my heart your ways.
Please protect me from the prayers [the curses] of the wicked,
[and] let their prayers fall to the earth.
Please surround me with your LIGHT,
and let not any darkness touch me."

extermists too extreme for extremists

In the darkness there are many demons.

The choice is ours, the darkness, or the LIGHT.

Read his word.

Read the Psalms.

+++++++++++++

'The Preacher' speaks here, of the days of men's lives, here in this life...

Ecclesiastes 3:10
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

But everybody hears the mind talking don't they?
The difference is between what you have been told, and what you have personally experienced and know for yourself. That to me, seems to be the big overrated dilemma between right and wrong.
The "good and evil" argument is just a big load of crap which some subserviants fall for to make money for their controllers.
Religions (per se') play absolutely no part in decision making as far as I'm concerned.

Amadd,

I absolutely agree with what you say here, about our 'beliefs' being formed from personal experience(s).
....if that is what you are suggesting?

But what path did you, or any of us, choose to take?

Surely you can see, agree, that the path we choose to travel, must influence our encountered 'experience',
....and therefore also influence our personal 'beliefs'.

e.g.
If i murder someone, the consequence of that act, must intrude upon my subsequent life experiences, especially, if others associate my act of violence, with me.

That is an extreme example.

But an example which should demonstrate, that those things [circumstances and actions] which we choose to expose ourselves to, must have an influence upon our [moral] character.

Ecclesiastes 3:10
I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in [the days of our lives], but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.i

No, I didn't. I obviously do not move in your circles.
Being a lowly, unschooled and unloved pleb, you entertain yourself with aggressive psychosexual fantasies.
Pathetic.
