    I know a woman who hears voices but she's a spiritual healer and she says they're just spirits. She also does energy work, and as skeptical as I am about things like this, I have to say it was pretty effective in alleviating my depression temporarily when I had a session, so hey, if this helps people and the voices help guide her towards the right things (in the way my strong intuition does for me), I'm not gonna knock it.

      All one has to do is begin reading the life and words of Jesus in the Bible, and he or she will begin to understand how the spirit realm operates. Jesus cast out many different evil spirits from those who were oppressed or possessed by them during His earthly ministry.
      Scripture teaches that these evil spirits/demons were once angels in God's kingdom. The rebellion that took place in heaven, spearheaded by Lucifer, resulted in the expulsion of Lucifer and the angels who sided with him. Upon being cast out of heaven, they became fallen angels. They are cursed angels, and Lucifer now has the name Satan (adversary of God).
      God created man from the dust of the earth, and breathed in him the breath of life. Satan hated Adam, because he was created in the image of God.
      From this we know that hearing voices is NOT from God. It is from the ruler of this world's system, Satan. Their main objective is for them to keep people away from the Gospel of salvation in Christ, so as to be saved from sin's power.
      You must know that these evil spirits are NOT your friends!
      Repent, and believe the Gospel of Christ for your salvation.
      "Today is the day of salvation. If you hear HIS voice, harden not your hearts."

    I’m happy you mentioned hearing voices when falling asleep or waking up. I’ve had experiences in both scenarios where I hear two people conversing in words that I feel I’m not thinking (obviously I am because there isn’t two people talking in my room when I fall asleep). I’ve also heard someone singing a random song when I’ve woken up before-fully composed, lyrics, etc doesn’t even sound remotely similar to a song I’ve heard. I do have bad insomnia. i have to take medication for it a few times a week. Ironically none of these experiences have overlapped when I’m taking the medication but it could just be my poor brain going haywire. 🤷🏻‍♀️ the hallucinations only last a few minutes but it’s shocking every time it happens.

    It's only in the last four years that I've experienced hypnagogic hallucinations. I don't find them too bothersome. Most instances are voices saying hello or asking "who are you? ". Or songs in other languages, loud yells, hollers or just odd sounds. The voices are always different. Some are with accents and vary in "sound quality" - meaning, very clear, distorted or muffled.I rest with ear defenders on at night as I sleep lightly and don't pick up outside noise. What I find most interesting is it's most always deep in one ear, never in both. My sleeps are an adventure almost every night to say the least.
    I found your video(s) incredibly informative, clear and concise. That is helpful for a layman such as myself.
    I've subscribed and look forward to more content!

      HI Tracey: So glad I found ur channel. U are EXCELLENT ✔ QUESTION ? Can u Please describe "Sundown Syndrome" ? ? A Dr. diagnosis a family member as "Bi-polar" and possible dementia. Another family member ADAMANTLY refused to accept that diagnosis of patient & stated-- (No way, u just dont happen to be bi-polar after several yrs of not having any visible signs). & patient is 64yrs old. Another Neurologist Dr. mentioned that it possibly COULD be 《Sundown Syndrome》🤔. & he, Neurologocal Doc is now planning on doing a Neurological 3 hr. test next week 11/20/20. The patient had several pouts of hospital stays throughout her life (approx 4) bec of manic type of behavior/anxiety issues & I believe some depression. As 4 me, I might think its sundown syndrome rather than Bi- polor or even dementia as a Doc also said it maybe signs of Dementia too. Lastly, She did not EVEN have an MRI done in her last 3 hospital stays. Tracey, CAN U PLEASE HELP ME OUT W/THIS ? THANK U.

    A fascinating subject and experience. Thank you for discussing this. I have experienced such phenomena particularly during extreme periods of distress. My most memorable event was after the brutal death of my younger sister. (we were very close) Exhausted after 12 months of denying the impact through, self abuse of isolation, alcohol and regret. I stopped and sought refuge at my cousins home. Showered and put in their lounge room to finally sleep, my mind kept ruminating with survivors guilt, full of chastisement and self loathing for not saving her. When suddenly a male voice, clear and compassionate said to me in my head, 'you are not to blame' and 'you are beautiful'. It both scared me and released me. I fell asleep finally, for 10 hours. I will never forget it and I hope to never hear it again. Question - was it my sub-conscience or an omnipresent. It felt like the latter as I did not recognise it at all.

    I have heard voices and seen 'entities' all of my life. This has not been distressing, other than having to keep it to myself until the last 15 or so years [I am 53 right now.] I have even voluntarily seen 3 different mental health professionals about it, to help my then husband relax and not fear I was suffering some condition.
    All three said the same thing. I am not being controlled by these voices. I am not suffering any sort of conditions that require care or meds. I seem to be experiencing something that currently cannot be explained or tracked, but it is not harmful for myself or others. So I was advised that I am fine at least in the realm of these voices and "visions."
    Having three different professionals in different levels of mental health clear me was nice for me, tho I knew I am not ill or in danger already. the husband went from worried to JEALOUS after I was cleared tho, amazingly. Suddenly i am special and the doctors did imply that I am different and should enjoy my life including these entities [seriously, that as startling!] So his reaction was a really depressing issue for me. We separated a few years later, I am not certain how much of a role these diagnoses played in the separation, but it was amicable and a relief in the end.
    I still converse with the Beings all the time, they behave as friends and support, and in turn this helps me support others who need help or advice. So I never thought hearing voices is an automatic mental health crisis, unless the voices are harmful or denigrating to the person hearing them. I have advised such people to seek professional help AND insist on an MRI since I read that there are different parts of the brain working when voices are benign and when they are distressing. Luckily 2 of 3 did so and are fine now. the 3rd disappeared, and we all worry for him, but have no idea where he is much less how he is doing, or even if he is alive, sadly.
    Be brave and ask about voices if you hear them. It is not an automatic label of being 'crazy,' I promise. I am one proof of that!

    Hypnagogic, hypnopompic and sleep paralysis used to happen to me almost all the time I went to sleep.
    It started around 16 and became worse during university. After university I began doing shift work , which wasn’t helpful. I used to think something was wrong me as I made the mistake of mentioning to some of my classmates and they all looked at me as if I was a murdering psychopath.
    I realised that after each night shift , I didn’t feel like myself. I almost felt “high” towards the end of the shifts and I also used to talk a lot(sometimes utter nonsense). I had to quit my full time post and become agency so that I’d only do day shifts.
    To this day, I still hear voices as I’m about to fall asleep, even when I’m awake and my eyes are open. I use to find it quite distressing but I started listening to relaxing sounds when I went to bed and it helps a lot. I can’t imagine falling asleep without some sound in the background. I’ve been using this method for around 2 years now.

    I was diagnosed with D.I.D(dissociative identity disorder, better known as multiple personality disorder)a few months ago and this is what I've learned when it comes to voices...It's normal to hear your OWN voice when it comes to decision making or your opinion but what's not"normal" is hearing several(in my case 8) different voices all with different opinions,views,thoughts and conclusions all in different tone voices.Also connecting a person or face to the voices isnt"normal" or common either.Ive always had these other parts of me so I never thought I"heard voices" lol! When doctors would ask me if I heard voices I'd say"God no,and if I did I'd be at a church somewhere praying😉" but what the doctor should have said that MIGHT have caught it sooner was,"Do you ever hear voices OUTSIDE of your head(or OUT LOUD) or SEVERAL DIFFERENT types of voices besides your own INSIDE your head when weighing out decisions etc?"Maybe a doctor will read this someday and use it to help their patient💞BTW,no we do not hurt people,we are not dangerous lol.. as a matter of fact we are more prone to be the one to have an act of violence committed against us,than to be the one doing the violence against another 😘If anyone has any questions feel free to ask willefordken at Yahoo dot com🧑👩‍⚖️👩‍🏫👩‍🔧👸🧕🕴️💃

    This a very real problem that can be life threatening, one of my daughters has been diagnosed with Bipolar with psychotic features, auditory hallucinations. Voices sometimes chattering nonsense then at times she has commands to hurt her self. I am commenting here because I have read some very condescending and trivializing comments that make me sad to read. My daughter has attempted suicide twice, self harm several times with dire consequences. 11 weeks in a trauma center, permanent spinal damage after voice commands to jump off an overpass, she clams not to recall until lying on the ground with assistance being given to her. We continue to monitor her, giving RX's Dr.'s appointments, etc.

    I've heard a couple theories about hearing voices. My brother thinks it's V2K (voice to skull technology), and that the government is picking on certain "high potential" people so they can't fully realize their gifts, and thus are no longer a threat to the status quo. Or something like that.
    Others, myself included, feel it's more a psychic/angelic/demonic thing. Certain people with heightened perception attract this sort of bullying, kinda like the kid in The Shining. I'm a sensitive person, so I can "feel" people's energies and moods (often without me wanting to, but I'm getting better at controlling it). Some people are FAR more invasive than others, and they're quite good at getting into my head sometimes.
    The only thing that helped me with this stuff, besides years of Qigong meditation, was a free sample of Aetheric orgone tech. It's like throwing on a comfy suit of armor, or a thick invisible sweater. The effect is instant. It's kinda unreal.
    Qigong helps a lot too, but I can't do it every second of the day. So Aether has been useful.
    If anyone else is hearing voices, or being invisibly messed with, you should give 'em a try. I think they still give out free samples.

    There are good and bad spirits that are inside our bodies. We attract the type of spirits depending on how we lived our lives - are we negative, or positive.
    The bad ones tempt us to do many bad things. They are trying to lead us to a darker path. The negative thoughts, actions, perversion - porn addictions , promiscuity, drug additions, depressions, hate, anger, suicide, etc. are all from them.
    The good ones are our conscience, the bad ones are our temptations. They all talk to us to lead us to do good and bad things.
    For those who can actually hear them, the cloak is removed. They can hear voices as a form of karma, or to lead them to a darker path -the demons are aggressive.
    For some who hear good spirits are what we call enlightened. They are led by good spiritual forces.
    There are no cure to hearing voices. the medical field should accept that there are unseen energies that can affect and influence our brains.
    Prescribing drugs only worsens the brains of people.

    I was diagnosed with PTSD 20 years ago and if I can share my own experience... hearing voices for me is like waking up from a bad dream & shaking it off... startling at times but easy to let go.

    It sounded just like people (more then one) trying to talk to me. The more I tried to concentrate on what they were saying, the louder the whispers would get and more like words. But I could never make out anything.
    As soon as I heard someone wake up in the morning or other things, it would stop. As if it was an off switch.

Now the male voice, I don't know his name yet, is always positive and trying to make me feel better especially in uncomfortable situations.

      When people are stressed, their guards are down and they are more likely to succumb to the negativity.
      Resist their temptations. They trap you with temptations to do bad things- even your negative thoughts are from them.

But when the pandemic came, I started to imagine listening to the growling demonic voice that tells me that my crush doesn’t like me or that he’s toying with my feelings. He does really love me but the added anxiety makes the voices in my head worse.
    I also sometimes hear the voice of my grandpa telling me that I should become a lawyer in the future so I could follow his legacy. My grandfather’s still alive, just that he rarely gives those suggestions that made me feel pressured
    Edit: I'm not sure whether or not I had schizophrenia when my psychiatrist prescribed me Olanzapine at age 16.

    What about if someone said “half the cup with water and a teaspoon of coffee”
    But you hear “half the cup with water and ice and a teaspoon of coffee”

    I hear voices all throughout the day and night usually repeating the same thing over and over again everyday except when I’m sleeping. I feel like people talk only negative things about me such as “go to hell,” “nobody likes you,” “you’re just a nobody” or they say “I hate you.” Sometimes it seems like the voices in my head can see and hear what I’m doing at the moment like playing video games or looking at my phone. I honestly think somebody is putting these voices in my head because sometimes they say words I’m not really familiar with the meaning of and google the definition and ends up relating to me.

    I hear the people I know. I’m able to talk with them. Logically I know that it’s not them, rather, it’s my approximation of them. But it’s often helpful in practicing what to say. When I get depressed the voices get more negative. It’s crazy helpful for me to have a therapist, I get to talk to him whenever I want and he doesn’t have to be involved! The bad side is I’ll often confuse whether I’ve already talked with a person or not.

    I been going through this voice thing for about a week and During that week I was feeling so much stress and guilt. I don’t hear clear voices but moans and breathing at first it was me being able to control it knowing it’s all in my head. Then I got really scared and nervous now it’s worse and I feel like I can hear it outside my head now. Every time I get nervous and get stressed and think about it this happens I’m really scared can y’all show some support in the comments 🙏🏾

    I have suffered from auditory hallucination. I take medication for psychosis. But I am also a very aware person that meditates. I often hear voices from people that turns out in unbelievable way in accordance to what they tend to think and believe. Its not hallucination. Its more telepathy telepathy

    Dr Marks, I had one psychotic episode after a benzo bender....if you know what I mean. It was years ago. It lasted a few days and it was terrifying. I was lucid enough to know I was in a psychosis, and knew that these conversations weren’t real....yet I’d catch myself responding to the voices. SO wild. In hindsight I’m grateful for the experience. I’ve not touched a benzo since, and am finally being treated for my ADD.
    My first night of stimulant meds, I was lying in bed. I was certain I heard my son call for me, “Mommy!” A few times. After checking, nope. He was asleep. This stopped with continuing the meds and adjusting I suppose. But it was wildly different and insignificant compared to that psychotic episode. Wild!!!!!!

    • @tnharvey8163
      @tnharvey8163 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I hear 4 voices and they are relatives of mine. They talk negatively about me. They critique every single action and thoughts that I have. 1 of them is just laughing about me and once in a while will say "dang she's a tripp." The 2nd one is my sister's voice and is always saying how stupid and ridiculous I am and she can't stand me. The 3rd voice is my older brothers' and he too talks crap and throws a tantrum at times. The 4th is one of my aunt's voice and she sometimes is talking crap in Navajo language and sometimes she's telling the other 3 to stop bothering me. They seem to be reading my thoughts and judge them along with everything I do. They tell me that the whole world is watching me and now I am paranoid to be in public sometimes and being in crowds. Some days I am not affected. There times when people say things that I was only thinking and i become frightened because it makes me believe the world IS watching me somehow also reading my thoughts through a screen. They never shut up. They become stronger when I am stressed or sleep deprived. All day I go back and forth with "they are not real...there is no way anyone can read my thoughts...to someone is doing it me....that they are doing something to me to make suffer, end my life or end up in a mental ward. I cry sometimes because they dont ever leave me alone and I'm starting to want to numb myself with alcohol. If I were to ever face these people whom these voices belong to in real life...because they are still alive...who knows what would happen. It's been suggested to take pills but I dont want to because then they've won and i will be a complete zombie. I do pray and it does help but there are days i can't even deal...almost desperate to the point where I think only ending my own life they will end...but again they would have won....and my kids will be motherless. I hate them. They make me question my intentions about everything I am doing...am I doing this or that because of what they're gonna say or am i doing this because I want to. And that's exhausting. Today is a hard day....which brings me to this video and this comment.

    Thank you for describing this. I have bipolar disorder and I liken it to a party going on in my head, hearing random pieces of conversation and music… I’m aware that it’s abnormal and disconcerting. I have just started Lamictal and Abilify and it’s much quieter.

    I was standing next to my bed once, (I think I was folding sheets), when I heard a voice inside my head randomly say "You can work with precision, but you are negligent". Another time, the day before I quit smoking, I heard a voice inside my head say, "A decision has been made". Those were two very interesting experiences. I don't normally hear voices inside my head, but if it's constructive then I'm not against it.

    I have been hearing voices a short time, a few months now since a traumatic event. I was also sleep deprived and underweight feom being sick with chronic fatigue, operating on amphetamines. Its was kindof trippy, hearing voices of family members talking but in a beautiful sing-song layered way. Now I am in better health but still hear what sound like radio frequencies just out of tune with conversations or someone taling on each "station". I hear many at once on the left side of my head, mostly, and inside my head. Though every once in awile I hear a very clear voice outside my head, loudly whispering or saying a word or statement. Its not comforting or discomforting except that it can make me worried about brain damage due to trauma of which I will be seeking ince I get health coverage. I definitely feel better about it after watching tour video, so thank you. My family thinks I am schizophrenic. Its really upsetting. I have fully reality based thinking. No paranioa. But a lot of abuse in my history. I think gaslighting and narcissistic abuse has played a huge role in cognitive imparement, as well as having Long COVID.

      I had very traumatic event after a bad trip on mushrooms. I never heard voices until after. I don’t have wild beliefs or paranoia just intrusive thoughts. I don’t know if I’m going to be crazy or if all the stress and anxiety is causing these hallucinations

    Thanks for this. My whole life I’ve had very vivid hypnogogia. But lately I’ve been hearing what seems like hypnogogia during the day. The voices aren’t talking to me, it’s as though in hearing people’s conversations and only getting snippets of it. It’s very strange. Often, I hear lots of people talking at once, but can’t make out any words. It’s all coming from inside my head.

    I had a conversation with my sister who has bad PTSD and Depression. I also have these. Unfortunately, she began hearing voices four years ago at the age of 53. She said they are not ugly. I talked to her about dissociation, and suggested counseling. I was a counselor before I got too ill. I stay away from my family. We were neglected, abused, and had traumas. She has had night terrors for 35 years. She left a message for me today pretending she didn’t get my text that I needed no contact with all of my family. I love her, and she is the only one I would want to see. But I can’t because my mom and little sister are awful and have power. She lives with my mom who is a narcissist.
    My sister’s text was normal as was her phone message. She said she was worried as she had not heard from me. I called her and she said she never received my no contact text. I told her our sister said she was pretending to be me and two other people, and blamed it on me. The start of the conversation was normal. Then she began to whisper as if she was informing someone about things. It sounded like a professional business call while I was speaking. She talked about something landing. She answered questions as if someone needed more information about some called Big W, telling the voices that “he is always orange when he shows up, and “he could affect millions. She kept saying “yes. I know. We don’t know yet. “. Full sentences like a normal discussion to solve a problem.
    I asked how about it, and she said she was talking to me which she was part of the time. She seemed embarrassed and nervous. I asked her who Big W is. She laughed and said, “Nobody I know.” It was bizarre. My family members get frantic about medication. I have no power over this. She has a narcissistic daughter who withheld her grandkids for years. Her son in law’s brother threatened to kill her for talking about his pedophile father. It’s terrifying. I think she has major depression and ptsd causing the voices. She took Remeron which worked until my narcissistic parents told her it was making her fat. I had to tell them off. But she refuses to take it now. Dr. Marks, do you have any words for me. I am heartbroken. Thank you.
