I was wondering how often this happens to other people, that your voices tell you they are psychic. I’m not talking about mimicking other people you may know. I’ve been through that, I know voices can mimic very well. What do they claim to get out of convincing you that that they are psychic?
I also would like to know if your voices try to tell you to go somewhere geographically. Like, go here and something will happen - they might say.
I have been through both. As for the psychic one, they do not tell me they are people out in the world but more like spiritual beings. Honestly, I could believe that. It doesn’t change a lot, but I could believe it. I’m still going to take my meds. They’ve told me I am psychic because I can interact with them with my mind - we have gotten into discussions on the definition of psychic, and this is their definition.
As for going somewhere, they convinced me that if I went outside of California (where I was living at the time, not anymore) I would be out of their range. So I did that, I actually drove just barely to Arizona and surprise - I still heard them. Though they did get quieter for a second and kind of whispered among themselves. But I could hear them the whole time until they just acknowledge they were ■■■■■■■ with me. Also, obviously if I am currently living outside California and I still hear them, it was a lie.
You have people in some of your dreams right? They have personalities and voices separate from your’s and your disposition… that’s more of what the phenomenon you’re dealing with is. The waking dream schizophrenia is sometimes called.
Anyways… Just don’t let them tell you to do anything or how to think. I myself don’t believe in spirits or anything like that… but I know that is almost more culturally accepted to believe in those kinds of things… gives life a nice mysterious feel and hope for something beyond.
All the same you got to tread wisely with this illness. Be careful… Your voices are going to take to the shape of whatever you allow them to be… that nature can vary and even positive voices can turn into a bad thing.
Good luck sunlion. I’ve dealt with the telepathy side of things.
I think that I’ve experienced something similar in the past. Typically, my voices try and tell me that I’m the one with psychic powers. I also feel like they’ve told me to go to a specific location.
Like what Azley said to you, don’t listen to what the voices are saying to you, even if they’re promising that good things will happen if you do what they want you to do. But with you finding out that they were messing with you when they told you to go to California, I’m assuming that you already know that they’re misleading you.
Wow @SunLion I also drove from California to Arizona while psychotic. (To escape the voices) I ran out of gas there too. What a mess that was. I am also now down to two main voices.
I have 3 main voices. Goddess Annette, who talks in random poetic language or running commentary, Isidore, who supports me, and Louisa who criticize me
In the past, thoughts, visions, memories, and delusions tried to convince me that I’m psychic. I don’t really hear voices. As of today, I’m less inclined to believe I’m psychic. Although, I think I have some brain damage that made me access/tap parts of my mind from parallel universes that were actually true in my other lives. That being said, I don’t think I’m really psychic in the traditional sense. I doubt even so-called psychics would say I’m psychic.
If we really live in a simulation and my mind was uploaded in the past, sure it’s possible to access these past lives. Another, more probable, yet still mysterious explanation, would be quantum consciousness.
See, I just heard on the radio that a woman can see and maybe even photograph ghosts, which I don’t believe. I don’t believe in ghosts. I’ve mentioned in the past, I believe in aliens and I’ve seen many of them in my past lives. In this life, I’ve seen UFOS. But I don’t/didn’t take pictures because A) I don’t care B) I’m scared. I remember in a past life, taking a “selfie” with a grey extraterrestrial and the grey killed me with the touch of his finger. I disintegrated. See, I pissed him/her off. So I learned from my past life mistakes not to do such things, even though it would be undeniable evidence that they exist. Same thing with the UFOs I saw in 2015. They were like 2-4, 200-500 ft above my head gliding slowly. Obviously, if I took photos my life would be in danger, so I didn’t. I didn’t need the drama. I don’t want attention. Living billions of lives, I’ve probably taken photos of them before in my past lives, but learned my lesson. It’s between me and them, I guess. I don’t need to prove anything. I already know they exist and that there’s a cover up.
Since I’ve learned that I have auditory hallucinations I held the belief that they are manifestations of my subconscious. That they a representative of some part of me. I therefore have been giving them some importance. Since taking aps they just get quieter and quieter so now it’s down to I can’t hear them anymore but I know what they’re thinking telepathically. It’s still just my mind creating them. Only now I’m starting to think it’s just a delusion and it means nothing. You don’t need telepathy to know what’s going on in your own brain. But they are still there though. It doesn’t make sense, I guess that’s sza.
My first episode which led me to developing schizophrenia I was meditating alone in the dessert. Some spiritual teachers came to me and convinced me I was a great being and that I should kill myself in order to go to heaven/the pure land. I tried to due this over many days unsuccessfully before I got help. Then I went into the prodrome phase and developed full blown SZ. It wasn’t fun.
The thing about your voices telling you you couldn’t hear them outside California sounds suspicious.
Similar story to mine, sounds like government spying. Who else could do these things to people? I don’t think spirit guides would “mess” with people like that.
