Hi. I'm just wondering if you could all clarify if you are talking about actually hearing a distinct voice in your head - or if you're speaking about thoughts that enter your head. There is a very big difference, and if you're hearing distinct voices in your head, that might indicate external 'interference' of some sort, or some sort of deeper issue. Of course, it may not indicate that, but some clarification would help me understand if you're 'hearing voices' or just getting mental impressions about things.
For me, information can come in any of the four modes recognized by psychics in general. Those are:
- Visual. This doesn't happen very often for me. Sometimes when it has, an image has appeared as an overlay on what I was seeing normally, like the graph in the incident I described above. Other times, it's been a complete experience that takes place outside of ordinary time, as in the experience with Mother Earth; subjectively, it took around ten seconds, but it also happened within a single step in 3d.
- Auditory. This is more frequent, but not real common. There's definitely a voice, but not one that could have come from another person in 3d; I don't look around to see who spoke. I
know who spoke. No, it's not a "deeper issue", LOL! It's just one mode of communication with those who are not embodied. And in a few cases, with those who
are embodied, as a form of telepathic communication. Sometimes this is triggered when I ask myself a question, "wonder" about something; then I (unexpectedly) get an answer.
- Tactile. I've done energy-work healing for about 30 years. When I do, my main perception mode has been sensing the energies with my hands, typically at a distance of an inch or two from the skin. The sensation may be of heat or cold, vibration, or pressure; broken bones feel "sharp" at the point of the break. We each have our own codes for sensations we experience; I may feel warmth where another healer feels vibration, but we both have the same sense of the underlying meaning.
- Knowing. This is really my main mode. During healing, when I focus on a particular area of the body, I find that I know what is going on inside. No voice, just information that I didn't have a moment before. Guidance. Sometimes a message for the person I'm working with, one that makes no sense to me but that always does to her. This is the mode in the lane-changing situation described above.
I'd be happy to provide (more) specific examples of these modes, but I don't want to make this post too long... ;)

Also, it's my understanding that STO does not 'play chess' - there is no 'interference' or leading, or influence on decisions, although information can be provided if one is sincerely asking. I would be deeply suspect of any information that just 'pops in' - or 'initiates first contact' - fwiw.
Over the years, I've worked with many, many psychics and healers of all types, and a few trance channels too. I've taken classes and workshops, read numerous books, and had my own guidance at all times. I know the nature of the beings I'm dealing with very well. This isn't intellectual knowledge, though I have plenty of that. It's experiential.
As a healer, I'm "on call" 24/7. That doesn't mean I heal everyone who turns up with a problem, or even everyone who asks. But it
does mean everyone I'm directed to work with, provided of course that they consciously consent. A few times, in an emergency when there was no time to ask and the direction was clear, I just did it. I never accept any form of compensation; I make my living writing software.
Since I'm "on call", the messages come through when needed. I'm fine with that. I agree that if a non-healer began getting messages out of the blue, I'd advise careful discernment too. But I really don't think we can make up a set of rules for everyone to follow, least of all around psychic phenomena. There's just too much individual variation.
"By their fruits ye shall know them." All communications I've received have been helpful, never harmful, never negative. When they include information about 3d events, I always check, and the info is always correct. No exceptions, ever. With that sort of track record, since childhood, I really don't question what I get; I trust,
and verify. YMMV. ;)
