There are claims by people who killed, saying "voices in their head" told them to do so. If it is true, those voices might have convinced them that killing the other person is for the good. How will you know which advice is good or bad? asked 12 Mar '11, 08:59 Chosen-one Barry Allen ♦♦

Not sure whether the chosen-one would even be able to see this or see any of the other answers since he asked this question last year in March, but it probably all stems from your own state of being. If you are in a negative state and hear voices in your head to do things, there is an extremely high chance that the things you would be doing are negative if you do act upon those instructions. If you are in a positive state and hear voices in your head to do things, then most of these things you would be doing would probably be positive and uplifting ones. It is the same as when you feel angry, you only feel like beating and punching up someone, and it would be impossible for you to feel like you want to hug and embrace someone when you are angry. On the other hand, if you are in a positive mood and happy, it would also be close to impossible for you to feel like you want to beat someone up. answered 20 Jan '12, 05:43 kakaboo

If there is anything to "Jesus told me to.." or "God told me to..." I don't believe you will hear it as a voice in your head. Rather, it will be more like a feeling... a felt sense that something is correct, not a compulsion or a feeling of fear, anger or envy, but a sense that it is right, and a feeling of love. This should be your barometer. answered 20 Jan '12, 16:58 Vesuvius

Here's is how you tell the good advice from the bad advice. IF the voice says: “You are great, you are strong, you are invincible, you are beautiful, you are loving, you are caring and you are amazing", IT'S GOOD ADVICE If the voice says "Kick the dog and kill the cat", ITS BAD...BAD...BAD ADVICE oh...on second thought, maybe the person with the voices in the head is an illuminati / CIA mind controlled slave with an assassination program alter that has been triggered with the right codes within the media or by their handler. But that last suggestion is such a stretch from reality it just couldn't be possible ;) answered 21 Jan '12, 16:50 The Traveller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPjZ74Xt1RI like this traveller. experience and enjoy.

I think it's a matter of the person's current perspective. If someone has not begun to awaken to who they really are, i.e. they're unconscious or unaware of their greater essence; then the voice is probably their own negative ego-self seeking attention in any way it can. Sometimes the disconnection is so great that the attention the ego-self wants or believes it needs can lead a person to kill another or even themselves. However, if a person has begun to awaken to the reality of who they really are, i.e. they're more consciously aware; then who can say that the voice isn't their own higher self offering guidance? If people can channel information through their voice, automatic writing and art etc; then why can't that same information be heard in someone's head? I prefer to remain skeptically open-minded to all possibilities; that way I'm allowing for any possibility... answered 19 Jan '12, 09:24 Eddie This is an excellent answer; but NOT to this particular question. The Chosen-One said voices and I do NOT think s/he is talking about hearing their own voice or listening to their own conflicting thoughts. The Chosen-One specifically asked "How will you know which advice is good or bad?" The previous statement was " those voices might have convinced them that killing the other person is for the good."
(20 Jan '12, 05:15)

The Chosen-one wants to know which voice to listen to. This is very serious and I would like the Chosen-One to seek help before someone does get killed. I think he/she will rely on the answer which gets the most votes - so PEOPLE, please stop up voting this answer.
(20 Jan '12, 05:17)
ele
ele - 1. it's very simple. If you ever hear a voice telling you to kill someone, whether the voice is in your ear or in your head, then you know that the source is from a negative ego. 2. Chosen-one asked this question on March 12 2011, so I guess if any killing was to be done, it's already been done. 3. Have you ever looked into the idea of NOT telling other people what to do? Just an idea :)

Thanks for pointing out the date. If anyone has a similar question & uses a search engine; they may end up here, looking for the answer. IMO, a very serious question with possibly grave consequences was asked, which may have or still may happen. My answer/guidance/advice was not deadly and it will neither harm or kill another. My recommendation was for their own protection as well as the safety of others. Yes, I do know & I have thought about your "idea" (advice), more often than not-Thank You!

By the way - Chosen-one was asking for advice "how do you know which advice is good or bad?" Sooo, advice is what I gave, Eddie.... Peace...

Based upon the realization that each of us creates our own reality; I question whether there's really such a thing as an answer or guidance or advice that's deadly. Everyone has free will to decide and to choose for themselves. I've never encountered a user advising others NOT to vote my answer up. That's why I suggest that this comments thread is more about you than it's about the Q & A, ele... Peace...

Eddie, I hope you saw the post I wrote under the original question (after Barry's post). I am not going to spend any more energy trying to explain to you why I asked people to NOT up vote your answer. You are NOT hearing me and I don't know what else to say to make you understand. I know you are highly regarded here; as you have 8.8K votes. Even though it was NOT my intent, I offended you and I sincerely apologize. I don't agree with your last post; but feel no desire to debate it.

No worries ele. For the record, I no longer get offended by anything. I hear you loud and clear. We have a difference of opinion and if you knew me better, you would know that I never tell people to do or not to do anything, although I may say what works for me. The voting system is used for people to show their support for a Q or A by either up voting, ignoring or even down voting. I'm all up for a lively debate within the comments section, and again, people can choose to like a comment or not.

@Eddie Hi Eddie; I'm ele and I think we got off on the wrong foot. I have read a very small percentage of your answers; but the ones I've read are very insightful and I agree with most of what I've read. I can't recall the last time I've had more than 4 hrs sleep and 4 hrs is the total amt I've had the last 2 nites - sooo, in addition to shoveling snow most of the afternoon & nite (3 hrs just for the roof) I best go before I put my foot in my mouth again. Yay, that was my ego defending me.

As for "everyone" having free will; perhaps; but NOT all have the ability to use it. The insane aren't able to reason, as well as some paranoid schizophrenics, others with psychotic disorders or altered brain chemistry whether drug induced or due to a mental disorder or perhaps some are born this way. What about children who are born with SEVERE mental retardation? What about people who are catatonic or in a coma? Babies aren't able to reason; so maybe free willis something we develop or NOT.

I am sorry, but hearing voices in your head that tell you to do things is a sign of serious mental illness. I cannot emphasize this enough. Run, do not walk, to your local doctor, and tell him/her what is going on. There are many meds for this! Please! Listen to me!

Please listen to Jai - you need to see a doctor as soon as possible - NOW - it's that urgent!! ALSO, call a relative, friend or loved one and tell them what is happening. The voices are NOT good - they are not angels or spiritual guides. Please see a doctor today and don't listen to the voices - good or bad - tell them to go away and get to a doctor. answered 19 Jan '12, 09:21 ele |
Some people have a bad reference point of sanity. The problem is that they started out the blocks with a bad start point. So it is hard for them to determine where the boundaries are. Since they can't trust anyone, the ego is the only thing they can trust. And if this ego was subjected to abuse as a child, anything goes. The key is not taking any of it seriously. Trial and error comes into play, and questioning oneself should always be applied to gauge whether you are caught in a loop, or talking sense or nonsense. answered 21 Jan '12, 23:14 The Knights Alchemy here is one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiKyWJRRjnU&feature=related the terroriste that think they are doing the work of god.

You equate your self with the extreme. I have to put parenthesis around choices. Action and consequences is all that is needed here. It is always in direct proportion. Sow/reap eh?

Hello Chosen-one ... if you hear voices in your head, this is coming from somewhere else, either outside or inside ... i suggest meditating to find the silence that is in all of us ... if they continue then just listen and try to understand the meaning ... these voices can be accompanied with visual images, but the most important is to perceive the feeling that all this produces, feeling is either good or bad ... center your energies on the good feelings ... it's really just learning how to manipulate thought energies. blubird answered 19 Jan '12, 07:15 blubird two |
Hello Chosen-one Whenever i hesitate on what to do, i wait and observe. I play with it in my mind using trial and error. If i 'hear voices' in my head, i just listen, understand and absorb them. When i say 'hear voices' i mean feel energies and their meanings. However there is a fine line between 'hearing voices' and "hearing voices" ... insistent uncontrollable loud voices during waking hours that repeat themselves daily is another matter and implies perceptional imbalance of the visible and invisible worlds, in other words confusion between the outer world and the inner world and all that can entail. answered 23 Mar '13, 04:02 ru bis 1

There must be remembered, there are absolute right and wrongs. Being told to kill anyone is murder and is wrong, unless it is to stop someone like Hitler or Binladen. If history could have been different, imagine this. We are in the 1930's Hitler is newly elected as ruler of Germany. The top brass in Israel give an order to someone in Israeli secret service to assassinate Hitler. He gets assassinated, the third riche is never known, WWII is never known, millions and millions of people never lose their lives. It goes on and on. Unfortunately in history good guys get assassinated, Lincoln, Kennedy, Reagon (nearly). Plus they usually get assassinated by someone that needed serious psychological help. answered 22 Mar '13, 23:14 Wade Casaldi 1

@ru bis - Yes, mine lived through it too. I have often marveled at how a relatively short period of history has so colored my thoughts all my life - seeing it through the eyes of those I love most. Mom was a little girl evacuated to the country, but kept running away back home. :) She told of not wanting to get to know the other kids at school too well. Dad was older, and drove a tank. Only shared a handful of stories. D-Day was not one of those. I wish I'd asked them more questions.

@Grace you present an interesting thought. My mother comes from Pensylvania Dutch (German) descent. I believe (Pennsylvania Dutch)Germans were early to America before WWII. I could be wrong, maybe I wouldn't exist either? Strange... That would make all killing wrong, no exceptions. But then going to war even to defend yourself or country would as well be considered wrong. This is quite a paradox for a spiritual, guy that teaches karate!

@ru bis I can only imagine what your Dad saw. British not French? My uncle was an army medic in the European campaign & finished his 'tour' by being one of first at Nordheim. He took hundreds of B & W photo's of unspeakable atrocities. My Dad was an army platoon T/Sgt in Patton's Red Diamond Div (infantry; foot soldiers). He received the prestigious Croix de Guerre from Le General de Gaulle for the Campagnes pour la liberation de la France (1944-1945).

My Dad never shared the horrors of war. He only spoke of the beauty of the countryside, the people, architecture, the seas, the wines. He was a gifted story teller. He remembered the hell of war in a humorous way, whether freezing in a foxhole, a deer they shot & the delicious meal the Chinese mess SGT cooked up after many weeks on K rations ( who went on to open a 5 star restaurant on the W coast) or raiding a wine cellar, which seemed to be a reoccurring theme whether in France or ..

No one ever died in his stories. He downplayed his acts of heroism; just funny little accidents. @Grace My Dad spent time in Iceland, England, France & Germany. He shared many beautiful stories of England. Both sides of my family have been here for generations. My uncle the medic, drank.

Or because of the potential life they imagined for you; neither of those may have anything to do with that soul's own purpose, I suppose.

@ele, yes I too was a late addition to my parents' lives. Dad told a story of driving a tank across enemy lines in France. The great gun on top of the tank jambed and they could not fire at the shadowy figures that were seen crossing the road ahead and gathering to hide in the snowy shadows. They thought they were in for it, but it turned out to be Allies, trying to sneek across as well. The gun worked just fine after that, no problems. Maybe your dad or @ru bis'? Sweet thought. :)

I still get embarrassed reading this; certainly put my foot in it. Some days I cannot, no matter what I do, vote & sometimes comments don't open. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using satellite or my mobile hot spot.
