Can hearing voices in your head be a good thing?

I had one experience where I heard a voice telling me to go home when I had just arrived to work. I signed in on the time clock and when home. I didn't tell my supervisor or anyone,I just went home. When I arrived home my 4 year old sons was lost walking up and down the streets. He left the babysitter house because he wanted to go to school. He was trying to find a school.This was a blessed moment for me, when I arrived back to work, no one noticed I was missing.

my boyfriend has been through traumatic things. he's been raped 4 times and has a horrible disease called cyclic vomiting syndrome. the people who raped him got off on him puking. he started doing weird things. first he started doing weird things.. like from the exorcist. his eyes became all misty or clouded. he would speak latin once or twice. he even tried hurting himself with a knife. when someone tried to take the knife away he attacked that person instead. he had no idea he was doing it either. now he's hearing voices telling him to hurt himself and telling him to do horrible things he doesn't want to do. he said the voices told him to jump from his window but he didn't. he ran downstairs so he couldn't. he also says the voices are telling him he's not allowed to sleep

...if you're just going to say something ignorant. Get a life! Try and change the world for the better instead of surfing the web for no good reason. This is also to people who write and ask if we've ever heard of schitzophrenia, or something equally idiotic like the above poster. Duh, what?

i hear music when water runs too, ive heard voices for a long time, most of them are friendly - ive only ever had like 4 bad ones, but the music and running water is new, it only began about a month ago. i had trauma in my childhood but im also christian so i dont know who the voices belong to. my voices have been with me for a long time and although most of the time i feel as though theyre not actually talking to me (that im almost like eavesdropping on their convos) its quite comforting to have them converse and laugh and sound happy. i dont know what causes me to have my voices nor do i really care but im thankful to have them as they often encourage me or inspire me to do things. i would hve achieved a lot less without my voices.

I have written before about my ten or so years of hearing voices and talking back. In my expirience I have had the most beutiful and the most discusting . I sing love songs to the good and to the bad I say things like " you give your mother her only reason to live and that is to pray she was never born" the bad voices are truly the pitiful you have no idea how ignorant some people used to be unless you know the Japanese, they are like the bad voices I know I live with them. before doctors there was exorcism . I have A faith and that is my miracle . adopt A true faith believe in it . condemn the bad you have more than them or they would not be there. good luck . Richard

My sister in Christ you are not just a minister, God has given us authority to take authority over this world He has overcome this world. Go to CBN Gordon Robertson did a webcast on praying for and healing the sick. I may not have the name right but it was done Tuesday October 13th 2009. Jesus did not pray for the people to be healed he just told the sickness to leave and it left! I know I too am dealing with this with my son. You can not look at what you see, hear or feel those are our sences we can only know what we know. James 1:12 "Blessed is the man who persvers under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." 1 corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand under it."

Read "Pigs in a Parlor" by Frank and Ida Mae Hammond they have a chapter in their book on Schizophrenia. They have also tried to put this label on my son too. I say to them Jesus Christ is above that name. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and every knee has to bow to his name. Philippians 2:9-11 NIV "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave hime the name that is above every names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Please, with the authority that Jesus Christ gave us we can command the spirits to leave all you have to do is believe. Matthew 10:1 "He called his twelve disciples (we are disciples of Christ) to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness." Matthew 9:28-29 Jesus asked, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?' and their reply was, "Yes, Lord, and Jesus said, "According to your faith it will be done," Read Jesus' last prayer to the Father in John 16:33 and John chapter 17 there are three prayers. Malachi 4:2 "But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." Galatians 4:13 " As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you." I want to tell you all something that I tell my son all the time. God did not do this to you, he may have allowed it to happen, but he only allowed it to happen to you because he knew there was something inside of you that would not give up and he knew he could trust you to tell others how He helped you through it. Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Genesis 50:20 "You intedned to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." I strongly believe God has a purpose for each of your life's and I know for a fact anyone that is going through what you are all dealing with will only want to know if you know how they feel. unless you have walked through something yourself no one will truly open up so you can help them. God Bless each one of you, my prayers are with you all.

Please my experience for the last 3 years of my son dealing with these types of issues are the pshyc doctors keep him drugged that 's their answer for everything. (One psychiatrist almost killed him with the drugs she gave him) While they are trying to fix one problem (with all of their PHD's they have not been able to do) they are creating 5 other health problems. For those of you who have never heard of a "chemical labatomy" this is when they guinea pig our kids brains to see what will work because none of them can seem to figure it OUT!!! The only hope my son has is in the maker himself!!! These psychiatrist and psychologist are playing games with our kids brains and putting money in their pockets. They are like your drug supplier if they can keep you on the drugs they can keep the insurance money continuing to roll into their bank accounts.

i no exactly how you feel i have the sam eproblems as you i dont no what it is but it drives me crazy and i hate it i wish there was a way to fix it do u feel like people talk shit about you to?

Dear Pete- Not Sad...What you are getting at is partially true, but not entirely. You~ are not God because you are not in control of the entire universe including yourself, your loved ones, your family and me. The reason is this... God holds the key to EVERYTHING but you only hold the key to You. I agree that a person could manifest themself into their own God, and in doing so you are committing idolatry. You are not the God of the Universe. Likewise with the Universe. It can only do what is limited to the universe. It can not create life outside of itself. The Universe is limited to itself. You are created and so is the Universe. Satan did this very thing you are talking about. As a created Creatue, He has now made himself his own God. So... what you are saying is true, but it is not the Ultimate truth. That still belongs to the ONE God, the one who created You. Did you create yourself? If so, how? Because otherwise you have only discovered the identical "secret" that Satan discovered. You have the right to be your own God, but you are NOT God of all. You do not dictate what happens at every cross road in the entire universe, you simply control You. I understand why you would think this and how you could come to this conclusion. An intellegent mind burns bright and these concepts are insightful. But, you can only be the God of You and therefore You are limited and not God at all. If you were truly God, you would have dominion over all.

God is God and He has given us each different gifts. You are an insightful man, with much to offer other people, but do not lie and say the world is full of Gods and deny that fact that there is ONE TRUE GOD!. There is ONE God and we are in the likeness, which is how it is not a far stretch for us to become our own God. Don't be confused and by all means, don't be afraid of the truth. God is all the things you say. He is Good and is not a God of fear, but there is still ONE God and you were known by that God even BEFORE the foundations of the earth and universe were formed.

It's not up to each person to "create" their own, heaven and hell and good and bad and powers (as you probably think) because there will come a day when the true God will be known and I'm sorry to say, You are not Him.

I agree with a lot of what you say.... "don't judge yourself". "let the thoughts go" . "don't believe anything that says you are less than perfect"... but I 100% DISAGREE that you are God or that I am God. You may be blessed with insight and wisdom, but use it for GOOD and stop advising people to create IDOLS (themselves) because you will be held accountable! If you are doing so in ignorace, than stop. I am sending this to you to warn you that creating an IDOL (you, yourself as God) is a lie and you are misleading people.

I heard my first voice when I was 6 years old at the beach. I was lost for two hours and in that time I replied to this voice which called himself Ocean. He talked to me and told me how to get back to my parents. As the years went by, this voice became irritable, almost cruel. He told me to kill people, to shoot myself if I didn't. Luckily when the voice changed at the age of around 9, I gained a new one. I have came to know her as Host. Her voice is soft, and higher pitched then Ocean's. She has always been the most talkative of my voices, telling me to keep my moral values and self esteem. The third calls himself Don, and he appeared when I was 12. Don is mostly silent, but when he does talk, his words are profound. He is the only one that sometimes says what he is telling me out loud. Don usually appears after I have read something or done another such intellectual activity. The latest voice gave himself the title of Tyler, but I call him Lost. Lost is constantly irritating me. His personality is the most difficult to describe, so I won't do so. Ocean by far is the most manipulative, but luckily Host controls him.

I have voices, they are good friends to men nd i'm never alone .. Don't ignore your voice, they can be a great help, and someone to talk to.

Robert age 15

me too. its hard to explain. sometimes i feel like im the only one who talks, and many other mean people hear voices but they wont say anything about it because it benefits them somehow, and they get angry when i tell on them.

Hey ryan,
Sometimes I feel the same way you do. Buy remember, God only wants the best for you and ofcourse he wants us to live an un-perverse life full of good and positive things, But what I also believe is that sometimes in our attempts to psychologically feel like we are physically pure of sin, It is very easy to get confused, depressed, or anything negative really. As christians who are truly concerned with wanting to be the best we possibly can, this is a huge factor. We are taught that God "knows everything", even your thoughts, and not only that, but we also know now a days that people can read body language and all that stuff so literally, sometimes you feel stressed, inside and out phsycially and phsychologically.
Well, trying to make these two spheres of a human existance blend and function in perfect harmony, in my experience, is done best absent mindedly. And thats where one can feel true happiness, is through that whole "ignorance is bliss" appraoch to every day life. However, I consider myself to be a highly aware and conciously spiritual right brained person. This is not easy in every day life. But I accept it as a GIFT, and a CHALLENGE from God. We may all even be exposed to the same stuff that some of us this is wierd, I don't know. But anywho. I thought I'd try to shed some light on your problem. I hope I made things better for you and not worse.
John.

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.

- Pete.

thats the same thing that is happening to me i hear voices everywhere i go i does get louder when i focuses more on it . then i get panicked . sometimes in my sleep i wake up paralyze like if something was holding you . i believe i have sometype of spirit with me or something . contact me how to like stop this because i get really depressed for some reason . email address is rideordie_007@yahoo.com .

My name is Ryan. I am 20 and a new Christian, formerly agnoistic and disinterested in the Holy word. I never felt such a power and hope and happiness as on the day I felt salvation, and KNEW the truth. I play piano at my Baptist church. SInce that day though I am getting so sick from being tormented by these voices. In my newness, after I was saved, this voice claiming to be "God" reminded me of all my sins and told me I was doomed to hell. It tested my faith saying "do you love our God? I AM LORD. FLY WITH GOD..." while I drive, making me speed. It twists my thoughts and every scripture I read for comfort to negate me. I have such guilt over my sins even though I know God forgives me and wants me to start anew.
Most recently this voice, before God reminded me it was NOT him, scared me into dropping on my knees in the middle of the street at 2am begging for forgiveness outloud, proving my "love for the Lord through sacrifice and humiliation just like was done to Christ". It god louder and louder the faster I ran home shouting "I am an ANGRY GOD. I GAVE MY ONLY SON. HIS FLESH WAS TORN, HE SHED HIS BLOOD FOR YOU, NOW YOU MUST SUFFER TO PROVE TRUE LOVE FOR CHRIST" and I was tricked into thinking my God hated me and I was doomed. I know different but am now a nervous sleepless depressed wreck and can barely fucntion. My trust is broken and I feel guilty for not being able to fully trust God enough to feel OK.

This voice becomes more upsetting the more I pray and call Jesus and think the name of God even. It said Im a martyr and should perish as a pig since I am doomed to burn anyway. It tells me I am dirty and perverse and banned from heaven. It mixes up my thoughts and I zone out. My lights flicker in my silent old apartment. (I had to move to a bad part of town). It comes whenever I pray, or call upon God, or talk to God, or read the bible. It gets to a point where my skin gets pale and dark circles form under my eyes. My skin dents in my hand and the dent shoots up my arm. It YELLS at me, and I havent slept and feel so sick and worn and depressed. I was about to kill myself a few days ago. I dont understand where these strange words are comeing from or WHY ME?? It told me to "preach the word" and say these untrue things abouit the Lord to my mother, it tricked me and God let me know this, but my pastor says its a spiritual warfare. It told me I was meant to be alone and misunderstood forever and to not speak to people "or else". Its a stuttering, stupidl evil voice. I pray and pray and beg Jesus to just take it away but I am so scared and nervous and obsess over my sins now and it is 3am and I just cannot be in that place Im living in now.

Please can you help me? Anyone? I have my Bible, and am trying so hard to trust God to take it but I freak out before he does. I need sleep so bad. I need to strengthen my faith quick. God showed me the truth and I KNOW, but I am being tortured and Im embarassed and feel crazy and confused. My email address is rjcon988@hotmail.com I dont care who sees it i need help or medication or something PLEASE.

i hear music when water is running. doesn't bother me either, but interesting.

yeah i hear those voices sometimes and it used to make me have panic attacks. i quit church after they started and found that they eased. since i left church i no longer have the constant reminder of sins and hell that i had when i was religious. i now consider myself spiritual. when i get negative thoughts or voices i push them out with positive ones or call upon the angels to banish them. i've always been a very sensitive person and still find my upbringing in church every now and then sends me into a fear cycle of being a good or bad person. i figured its normal, its life. like how our concience speaks to us. etc.

I am 52 and for as long as I can remember I have had music playing in the background of my mind??? It is a variety of songs never really loud sort of like music inan elevator it doesnt disturb you but youknow its always there. Lately I hve found hearing friends and family asking me questions and when I answe them they either ae not their at all, asleep or have no idea what I am talking about. Very, very recently I have ben seeingtis out of the cornrer of my eye.Movement like a person walking into another room.....

that sounds scary as hell. id shit my pants if i heard that

my voices always come just before i sleep, but when im rather awake. they tell me to do things, and sometimes, they just laugh...horrible laughs, they are. theyll laugh at me so hard and i get scared and just fall asleep. pathetic right?
