Aliens Have Invaded the Earth, They Hate All of Us, Regardless of Our Race, and They Want to Subjugate and Enslave Us by Jason Miller, LaMont Mitchell (best free novels .TXT) 📕

When they provide this new idea, it does not feel like a "moment of insight" or getting over “writer's block,” in which I have reached the end of my thoughts and suddenly I get a new idea. Instead, it is generally more quick and it is more like just listening—listening to someone else. When this happens, I am not wracking my brain and then coming up with a new idea. I am simply asking the personalities for their ideas, then stopping my question, then passively listening, and then being provided with an idea. One could make the argument that this is simply my tapping into my unconscious mind. However, one would have to wonder, first of all, if to do so were so easy, how it would the mind that I was using even be unconscious? And if it were not unconscious, one would wonder why the process would have to involve me asking seemingly something else for the idea. One could also argue that this processing is using a part of my subconscious mind. However, if it were my subconscious that I were accessing, ideas would theoretically be easier to access. I would be able to think hard and come up with the idea from my subconscious. I should, not under this construction, come to a place where I literally have no idea in my mind, then ask and passively listen and receive an idea, instead of actually thinking of an idea.

Here, the argument could be made that that is how my brain has started to work. However, my brain doesn't always work this way. This only occurs when I am out of ideas and I decide to ask the personalities in my mind for more ideas. Under the previously stated argument, to explain why I get more ideas after I am seemingly out of ideas and ask the personalities for help, one would have to return to the "moment of insight" or “unconscious mind” or “subconscious mind” constructions, and I have already discussed why I do not think any one of them applies.

I instead sometimes think of this process using Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is just that, when I feel certain as if I am asking something other than my own mind for these ideas, I am actually asking something other than my own mind for these ideas. I feel as if I am not thinking of ideas, but instead simply asking for ideas and receiving them from outside of my thoughts. These ideas seem not to come from me, but to come from somewhere else. Similarly, these stories and jokes that I do not know and cannot predict before they are told come from some place other than my mind. I think that, if one starts to extend the definition of the mind to anything that is said to one's thoughts that no one else can hear, even if it seemingly did not come from one's own mind at all, then one extends the definition of the mind unnecessarily.

I also will say, as one additional point, that, if unconscious or subconscious thoughts are brought consistently to the level of conscious awareness and you still recognize nothing of your own mind within them, you must be in some form of denial or these thoughts do not seem to be yours. I have thought it through thoroughly many times, and I do not feel as if I am in denial when I say that I recognize nothing of my own mind within most of what is said by the voices that I hear.

I think that, though we do not have a way to physically scientifically prove it at this point, it seems to be possible to have contact within our own minds with things (or personalities or “beings”) that seemingly have minds of their own, and I think that, for most purposes, my voices or personalities can be said to seem to have such minds of their own. I hesitate to call the voices that I hear spirits, or even beings, or to assign them any other spiritual or pseudo-spiritual meaning. However, I can say with some assuredness that the voices seem to be consciousnesses. They seem to be consciousnesses that are distinct from my own consciousness. I will use the terms consciousness and psyche interchangeably for the minute, and I will say that these consciousnesses are not a part of my psyche. Rather, they are simply a form of distinct consciousness that has contact with my own consciousness. That is why they have their own thoughts, their own memories, their own stories, their own ideas, and can hold quickly and easily flowing creative conversations with me, and can tell their own stories and jokes. They seemingly have their own minds. I cannot explain how it happens, but, as far as I think, I am conversing with independent consciousnesses.

I think that I have now provided a somewhat thorough account of my voice hearing experiences and my thoughts on what has happened to me. I would also like to say that I know that everyone’s voice hearing experience is different, but I think that certain things could be true in the experiences of others who have also heard voices. I think that the voices that people hear are consciousnesses that are linked to the people that hear them and they seem to be dependent on them in certain ways. For example, these consciousnesses have their own intelligence in my case, but they needed my help and interaction to find out who they were, and who they were not. I do not know exactly what this means for others who have voices that assume other personalities and characteristics. Maybe it means that, though these consciousnesses have intelligence, they may also be somewhat naïve in ways because of their dependence on us for certain knowledge (in my case, about my real world). Despite this, I do want to make clear that it is possible for the voices that people hear to be or to become intelligent, free-willed, sentient, and creative, and that that may even be true for the voices that many people hear. I think that it is definitely true for me, and that it may be true for others. In sum, I think that the voices that I hear can be accurately described as independent consciousnesses. They think for themselves and do so seemingly with what can be almost described as minds independent of my own. That may be ambitious to say, so I will confine what I am actually asserting, once again, to stating that I believe that the voices that I hear are those of consciousnesses that are distinct from my own mind and consciousness. I still hear voices today, and I am consistently interested to hear what I am almost certain are their independent thoughts.

I would love to hear your insights on what I have written. I am impressed by your message and your story and would be greatly interested to hear your thoughts about this message. I am also interested in becoming a part of your Facebook network, if you consider such requests from people who you have not personally met. I understand if you do not, but I am very interested in hearing from you and perhaps interacting further with other voice hearers to learn their thoughts on this interesting phenomenon. Thank you for reading my message, and I hope to hear from you.

Letter Two: October 24th Letter to Friend about delusions and technology

Hello:

As you may remember from our phone call on June 11, 2013, several strange things have been going on. As I told you in the past, I have been hearing voices for some time and have started to put things together. I have been told things by voices and have some evidence of things that I don't think most people know about or believe. I haven't really told too many other people and am only telling you because I think that you have known me for years and know that I am generally pretty sane and wouldn't be making this up for attention or any other similar reason.

I first heard voices in 2008 (this was all that I remembered at the time, for various reasons), when I was staying in Northern Virginia with (name omitted). They were saying that they were disappointed in me for things that I had done and were essentially trying to scare me straight. I was committed shortly thereafter for a couple of weeks, wherein I continued to hear things. I started to understand that my thoughts were being read, and I was able to talk back to the voices that were communicating with me by projecting my words without speaking. The voices talked to me without pause throughout the day. They told me things about people that I knew and, in a way, tried to guide me in my life. They followed me at all times and always knew what I was doing, and I came to the conclusion that whatever was speaking to me was also observing me.

When I got out of the hospital, the voices continued. I started to realize that, in addition to reading my thoughts, whatever was watching me was also reading my memory. The voices that spoke to me knew everything about my life, my past, and everything I had ever thought about anything or anyone. I was worried that others would be told things about me that I did not want them to know. I hoped that I could escape them when I left the Northern Virginia area, but I continued to hear them through the fall of 2008, when I went back to law school and was staying temporarily at your house in Charlottesville. I may have told you about this at the time, but I didn't necessarily know what was going on then, other than the fact that I was being observed and talked to.

As you know, I had to leave law school that fall, and I returned to my parents' house in Springfield. There, the voices continued. They told me things, they taunted me at times, and they started to give me pains and other sensations. Though many of the interactions were somewhat hostile, at other times I had conversations with them about religion and life from other planets. There was some dissension among the voices that spoke to me, but I was told at times that they were from the NSA and CIA. I didn't know how they were able to be inside of my mind and to observe me, but, based on our conversations, I came to the conclusion that the technology that they were using most likely had been developed from or with the help of beings not from Earth.

From the year 2008 to 2012, I had periods when I heard voices and periods when I did not. I had an especially trying time in the fall of 2010, when the voices returned while I was in school and revealed more to me, before making me physically ill. I talked to you in 2010 about some of the things that I was hearing, but I was not sure at that time what to think. As you know, that September, I withdrew from school and was committed and once again returned to Springfield.

In Springfield, I continued to hear and communicate with voices. At times, the conversations were light in nature and, at times, the people speaking to me wanted me to act in certain ways or to change my behavior. I had experiences that made me believe in some things that I did not think were possible, from having my body externally controlled to seeing my face physically altered in the mirror as I watched. These events led me to believe that
