I woke up hearing voices - no, really. I did! They are not going away,,,

So over the past several months and weeks, we've noticed a growing trend we need to publicly address. More and more people around the country are contacting us and asking for help. It seems that they are waking up hearing voices. They go through the days hearing voices. The voices aren't going away...

It can be a Tuesday or a Thursday, it doesn't matter. They can be young, Gen X, middle age or elderly with hearing aids. It doesn't matter. They are all starting to hear voices and it is really disturbing them.

Some are professionals, doctors or lawyers, law enforcement or Realtors. Others are stay at home moms with kids. It doesn't matter. They are hearing voices from something they can't see and wondering what the heck is going on. Others are kids - they are the most vulnerable. We've talked to them as well.

We had 5 contact us last week. 5 different individuals, 2 were related by work or family or friends and heard through the grapevine that they could talk to us anonymously and that we might be able to understand. We are glad that they trust us. We keep it all in confidence. 3 were absolute strangers with no previous knowledge of who we were. Somehow they found our site and contacted us to ask that question... "why am I hearing voices suddenly? Am I going crazy? Are they real?

For the record, this happened to me. I've been sensitive my entire life, sometimes hearing, sometimes seeing, sometimes knowing stuff I shouldn't have known. It wasn't easy. But a couple years ago I went though some pretty bad attacks by what we would consider inhuman entities. In the midst of it, my minds eye was blown wide open. I started hearing the spirit world everywhere, all the time. I couldn't turn it off. It almost drove me crazy. That was the purpose I assume. Since then I've been finding ways to tone down and turn off the chatter as I call it. My wife will attest that sometimes that can be difficult.

Sometimes it is like tuning in a radio, different voices have different frequencies. I can scan up and down the different ranges and tune in all sorts of conversations. I've been checked out and, no, I'm not Schizophrenic. I'm clairaudient.

I stole this from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairvoyance

*****************************************************************

Clairaudience (hearing/listening)

In the field of parapsychology, clairaudience [from late 17th century French clair (clear) & audience (hearing)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires information by paranormal auditory means. It is often considered to be a form of clairvoyance.[14] Clairaudience is essentially the ability to hear in a paranormal manner, as opposed to paranormal seeing (clairvoyance) and feeling (clairsentience). Clairaudient people have psi-mediated hearing. Clairaudience may refer not to actual perception of sound, but may instead indicate impressions of the "inner mental ear" similar to the way many people think words without having auditory impressions. But it may also refer to actual perception of sounds such as voices, tones, or noises which are not apparent to other humans or to recording equipment. For instance, a clairaudient person might claim to hear the voices or thoughts of the spirits of persons who are deceased. Clairaudience may be positively distinguished from the voices heard by the mentally ill when it reveals information unavailable to the clairaudient person by normal means (including cold reading or other magic tricks), and thus may be termed "psychic" or paranormal.

It's kinda funny in retrospect. One time I walked by a homeless guy talking to himself and I actually heard the spirit he was talking to. He freaked out when I butted in the conversation and confirmed what the other voices were saying. .... that's funny to me now but was a lifesaver at that time.

In my younger years, hearing the voices at times petrified me until I stumbled upon the fact I could record the voices I heard. And if I could record them and play them back, they were real and I wasn't going crazy.... what a relief. Those were the early EVP sessions I staked my sanity on.

I feel the younger years of my sensitivity were training for my own ordeal two years ago when I was forced open to everything. Going through that hell prepared me for what we do more and more now at SOCALPRS. We try to help out other people who are sensitive and going through a kind of awakening. This is the biggest blessing in what we do. People trust us.

Weekly I can personally relate to the people who call and ask for answers. I still fight with the fact of what I hear, feel and see going public. I'm a sensitive. It is a private part of my life. My wife is sensitive as well. Our friends and some of our team mates are labeled sensitive. Not all of them hear voices like I do. Everyone is different. The general public shy's away from anyone who claims to hear voices. I have been on the receiving end of this over and over.

Personally in my own battles of the past two years, I talked to anyone and everyone I thought might understand, simply trying to get the answers for my own awakening. If I was supposed to be driven crazy by being bombarded and opened up by the spirit world, why not ask those who publicly claim to know it best.

I asked world famous mediums and psychics, I asked Tibetan Monks. I asked some amazing energy workers and sorcerers, magicians and witches. I asked alleged professional exorcists, pastors, priests and educators. I needed answers.

This whole time I was terrified for my own friends and family to know the truth. I tried to hide it when in public and kept asking questions in private. I was forced to go public.... that is so ironic now looking back in the past.

I had so many questions..
Why am I hearing all of this? Why am I opening up and seeing or feeling all of this? At one point I actually wanted to be declared insane since it was the easiest way to explain what I could not figure out. Every step along the way, those I asked could NOT give me the answers I needed. They did give me something else I did need. Verification. Validation.

They confirmed that what I was hearing, feeling, seeing and knowing was real. That I wasn't going crazy. Some said I had a greater purpose in life and the spirit world wanted me to catch up since I was nowhere near I needed to be. Some got scared off and others sympathized and extended all the assistance they could. Lisa Williams was one of those and I thank her for her help.

The ones who helped me the most, simply listened and understood that they couldn't completely understand or explain it to me. Over and over I heard one thing. That I had to go through this alone and that there was a greater purpose to it all.

In the midst of this search I found myself in the media. I had the opportunity to contact World renowned medium and Psychic Lisa Williams and ask for help. The only loophole was that it had to be televised. I fought with this so bad. I lost my previous relationship in a flurry of chaos. My wife (fiance at the time), Sandi, was not positive on having the public know and have this all televised. She supported me and agreed none the less. I love her so much for that. Her concern was for me and she helped me all that she could. She sacrificed so much for me. She still does.

The same situation applied to the exorcist I got to talk with. We were dealing with a demonic case and I thought to kill two birds with one stone. Help the client and ask the question. Perhaps that was another explanation I could accept and fathom. If I was possessed. When he told me to my face I was not possessed, I was actually let down and depressed. I wanted the answers to these questions I've had my entire life. Why did I hear things as a kid? Why do I hear dead people? Why do I know things I should not?
As a Christian, the Church could only explain it as demonic. The Bible has the word Ghost. The debate will always be there. It is a Grey area. I read that mediums or witches would go to hell. A medium talks to dead people and spirits. I hear them and try not to talk to them. I try not to listen to them. The church says they are all demons.. So if I hear them, I must be possessed....

This circle of logic almost drove me.insane . I asked and the exorcist answered "no". Back to square one I went.

Why am I saying all of this here? Because I now realize that I'm supposed to go public with the battles I've been through. I'm supposed to talk about the voices I've heard. I'm supposed to let people know this happens and it happened to me. I fought this and still want to fight it. But now it makes sense. And now I can talk about it because this will help others going through the same thing I went through. That was the greater purpose.

Something is happening on a global scale. People everywhere are awakening. They are waking up one morning and hearing the voices of the spirit world,
like I did.
They are questioning their sanity ,
like I did.
They are going to their churches and getting turned away,
like I did.
They are searching for answers but feel they can't tell anyone.
Like I did.

They are going to doctors and getting medicated for something that is not a mental illness. I did that in my past. I'll admit that here. You tell a doctor you hear voices and he'll give you drugs. Even if you really are hearing voices.

I actually know of a client we had who recorded evp voices of the spirits that were harassing her. She played it for family and friends who all heard what she did. She played it for her shrink. He had medicated her and told her she was schizophrenic. He heard the voices that her family heard, broke the tape in front of her and told her and her family that there was nothing on the tape. She was mentally ill. Her family confronted the doctor as she ran out of the room in tears. He could not and would not admit to what seemed to be factual.

She was simply hearing the spirit world. She was not mentally ill, but she was being driven close to it. I've been there. Last week we got 5 calls from others going through the early stages of an awakening.

I'm writing this because something is happening globally, I feel it will eventually affect all of us. We've heard the veil in thinning. Maybe it is the effects of solar storms on our pineal gland. Somewhere I read that if it is stimulated, people hear voices and hallucinate. Or maybe they just open up enough to hear and see what is really there - the spirit world.

It's happening.

If your one of the many who are awakening, you are not alone. I figure that for every 1 person that contacts us and tells us what they are experiencing, there are 20 more who will not. If you are going through this or know someone who is, contact us. I know that in the future, it will be public knowledge that so many are hearing voices. Just like awareness for indigo and crystal children as well as sensitives has been given a voice in the media.

There is a documented link between former users of Crystal Meth and people hearing voices and seeing things. Science has addressed this already. Problem is that the majority of those who have contacted us about hearing voices have NOT done or been addicted to Crystal Methamphetamine. They are normal people like you and I, you see them daily. They are not freaks, they are normal people who woke up one day and heard the spirit world. And more are coming,.

If it happens to you, your not alone. And knowing that simple fact makes it so much easier to live with....... I know that being honest about my own experiences will help others. It's not easy but I feel better now that this blog is done. I've expressed some of this on my private blog, but have to address it here. We are a support group for sensitives and those living with hauntings..... now we're adding those who feel they are awakening.

Other groups out there, don't be surprised if some of the signs of your clients alleged hauntings aren't actually an awakening instead. Just something to think about. Alright, back to science to disprove that i believe in something I can't explain or measure....yet.
