If I hear a voice from a "superior being"...
    #2528609 - 04/05/04 05:30 PM (19 years, 11 months ago)

whether it be an angel, demon, God, alien, elf or whatever; I most likely

A. am schizophrenic / delusional / insane.

B. have an active imagination.

C. am one of the "chosen ones".

D. am more spiritually advanced than most others who are not in contact.

E. watch too much TV / read too much sci-fi or mystic literature.

F. have done too many drugs.


--------------------



The proof is in the pudding.

Swami, I don't believe you can answer that question that simply.

Could it be posible that some people are schizophrenic, yet some people are actually making valid communication from external conscious beings?

Or could it possibly be a person's higher self communicating with their human self?

I'm sure many people have had "communications" as the result of mind-altering chemicals, both valid communcations and invalid ones.



I guess I can best explain myself by mimicking your proposal:



If a human eats a certain food, it's because:

A. he/she's hungry

B. he/she craves the food, although hunger isnt apparent

C. It's for health reasons

D. he/she was forced to eat the food



does that make sense? sorry - I have hard times putting my thoughts into words, hope I made sense.

It seems like most results are due to a combination of things. Like manna man said, maybe all of the above? But like I asked in another thread...how can you tell a prophet from a delusional man?

It could be possibly, but without any external verification; isn't it also possible that ALL "higher communication" is self-created?

Yeah I would go with that its like this, when you dream and you speak to other people in your dreams are you aware of what that person is thinking or going to say.

Well i bet you probabl cant even though they are a part of you, so i guess any communication with any other being could just be a projection of your own subconcious mind even though your not aware of what they are going to communicate.

for me f

as i said in another post, religious intuitions stem from our instinctive tendency to project human qualities onto our worlds. our anthropomorphism is an inborn, adaptive trait that enhanced our ancestors survival.

we interpreted even the most random-seeming natural phenomena as the acts of a wrathful or loving deity.

It depends what they say. I've encountered demons and on the other hand numerous light beings and one will pull you down into the depths of suffering and confusion and the latter will take you to the summit of meaning and allow a glimpse through the eyes of the All...the eyes of the ancestors. Listen to their essence and you will hear their purpose.

you can be a delusional, insane, chosen schizo, who has an active imagination because of too much TV, did too many drugs and has now reached spiritual contact. hmm...  :smirk:


--------------------
Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Whenever I doubt the validity of the voices who talk to me I must also doubt the validity of everyone on this message board... for both have messages that come from beyond myself, and both I cannot see nor touch.  :wink:

If i heard a voice in my head, I would assume I was going crazy. Even if I believed it was real, a part of me would say, "oh god i fucking lost it, oh well, mind as well go with it"

I mean, I believe that there is a lot more to reality than we know it. I dont think anyone should act like they know everything based on their primitive human knowledge. But why would a higher being, or other presence of some sort be talking to u?

I guess it would depend on the situation. If I was in a house that was haunted and I heard voices in my head, then I would have to believe in it.
