[jc84corvette]

Maby you are experiencing splitting?
Maby you are closer to hearing the Astral?

[Risu no Kairu]

YOu... don't hear... your thoughts... the rest of the time?

[Josh]

what i mean is i feal like i am in my my thoughts like um... hard to explain...it feels as if ppl were talking next to you

[jc84corvette]

Ok im confused now:(

[Josh]

ppl aren't acually next to you but i seems like that

[jc84corvette]

Who are these people?

[electricdreamer]

maybe you mean the mind split thing like in Bruce's book? I always think of it as my subconcious or higher mind is taking control...

[Josh]

what do you mean by that? and is that a stpe closer to astral projecting?

[Quiet_Storm]

Umm... I always "hear" my thoughts. Not so much physically but imaginably I do.

My imagination is very good with senses. I can imagine tasting something, I can imagine smelling something, I can imagine touching and feeling something, and I can imagine I am seeing something with my imagination.

As I read the words on this thread a voice plays in my head to simulate someone speaking.

I thought this was normal for everyone. Do I have an unusually well developed imagination or is this normal for everyone?

When you say that you "hear" thoughts do you actually hear them with your ears? or at least definately feel like you can physically hear them with your ears? (astral ears?)

[Josh]

Um...let's see.

A thought passes my mind and it seems like it is real(can you tell this hard to explain)It seems like someone is saying my thought to me. I don't know what it is.

I've had a dual awareness. One night at about 3 in the morning I woke up and saw and felt the room around me, but at the same time I felt another space, there was nothing in the space but a wind that I could feel and hear, but no wind outside of my bedroom or inside, the wind existed in another space that was comepletely black, yet I was in both places at the same time.

It seemed to go on forever,timeless and I said a comforting bahai prayer I had memorized several times...Oh God Guide Me, protect me, illumine the lamp of my heart and make me a brilliant star, for though art the mighty and the powerful.

I remember a wind like this from childhood dreams, it would pluck me from the ground and pull me up into the air, then I would get scared and black out.

ya know what else this could be, is that you could be experiencing your spiritual guide trying to communicate with you. its basically just your guide running things through your head.

hoped that helped,
with much blahness,

Why is this so hard to answer? When your body is asleep your thoughts and imaginations seem real. I thought everyone knew that. Try listening to a song(mentally) while trying to project/lucid dream. The song will get louder and more realistic. Eventually, it should sound like it's coming from a direction, depending on your imagination.

I get a deep pressure in my brow chakra, the third eye sometimes, I'm not sure about voices.  Perhaps by your 'hearing' your thoughts maybe you are simply getting deeply into a trance.  I noticed that sometimes when I am meditating but not focused, just letting my mind fly around at a million miles a minute, I hear all kinds of voices, they all move in different directions and on different tangents.  But as far as I've heard from other people or take from my limited personal experience with AP, you should use a focused meditation, so it might be the best course of action to simply brush away the voiced thoughts.  Let yourself be clear, or focus your sound sensation on your heartbeat, or take a mantra.  Thats the frustrating beauty about existance, so many directions to go...

Be well,
J
