Ask: What is Clear-Hearing?
Clear-Hearing refers to the ability to hear the "Great Voice," which is described as a crystal clear voice of love and caring authority that seeks the benefit of the individual. It is distinguished from ordinary mental illness and is seen as an extraordinary ability rather than a bothersome condition. Clear-Hearers are described as razor sharp spears of destiny, guided and calibrated to absolute clarity of purpose by the power of the Great Voice.
Ask: Can you name some Clear-Hearers?
Yes, some Clear-Hearers mentioned in the context are Socrates, Joan of Arc, and the author Howard Storm.
Ask: What is that Great Voice you've mentioned?
The Great Voice mentioned in the context is a voice that is heard internally, originating from within one's head or heart. It is believed to be connected to the great Overmind of creation and only says things that are beneficial and loving. It acts in protection and magnification and would never suggest harm or spread negativity. It is described as sounding like the individual's own voice, but with great authority and confidence.
Ask: Elaborate on the great Overmind.
The great Overmind, also referred to as the Superconsciousness, is described as a swirling inky darkness that connects all thinking beings to the mind of Creator-Source. It is believed to be a tiny drop of Creator-Source's essence that expanded and transformed into a wonderful ebony swirling pool that hovers over our heads, above the third heaven. This Superconsciousness can be accessed by anyone through the power of their intentions.
Tapping into the great ebony pool of the Overmind is not considered channeling, as it does not involve connecting two distinct beings. Instead, it is seen as transcending apparent limitations and entering a part of the universe where the Mind of Creator-Source is contained. This experience is often described as the "Felt Presence of Direct Experience" and can only be truly understood through the act of doing it oneself.
Creative thinkers, such as writers, artists, inventors, and businessmen, often tap into the Overmind when they experience moments of inspiration and revelation. It is during these moments that ideas, thoughts, creativity, and powerful truths are revealed, seemingly originating from a place beyond the thinker's consciousness. Many great advances for mankind have been stumbled upon through this connection to the Superconsciousness.
Terence McKenna, a philosopher and thinker, advocated for the exploration of altered states of mind, including the use of psychedelic substances, to access human consciousness. While the author does not endorse McKenna's literal methods, they appreciate his originality and sharp commentaries on the origins and nature of human consciousness.
In summary, the great Overmind or Superconsciousness is a concept that suggests a connection between all thinking beings and the mind of Creator-Source. It can be accessed through intention and is often experienced by creative thinkers during moments of inspiration and revelation.
Ask: How is God compared to the Overmind?
In the given context, God is compared to the Oversoul or the Superconsciousness. Ralph Waldo Emerson referred to the Superconsciousness as the Oversoul and described it as "the lap of an immense intelligence that is far beyond our human mind." This implies that God, being connected to the Breath and Mind of God, is also connected to the Superconsciousness or Oversoul.
Ask: What is "Breath and Mind of God"?
Based on the given context information, "Breath and Mind of God" refers to the state of being in constant communication with the Great Voice or the Superconsciousness gulf, which is described as the authority that sits at the right hand of Creator-Source-Source. It is a state where one receives mind-vibrating, bell-ringing, declaratory pronouncements and guidance from this higher authority.
Ask: Elaborate on Creator-Source-Source.
The term "Creator-Source" refers to the ultimate and original source of all things. It is described as the entity that created all souls and all goodness in the multiple universes. Creator-Source is eternal, infinite, and the only true Creator of reality. Human souls, on the other hand, are like mirrors that reflect a small portion of the brilliance of Creator-Source. While human souls have the ability to co-create and manifest realities, they can never be the original creators of reality. They can reproduce, amplify, and expand upon ideas and values already known to them by Creator-Source, but their creations will always be contained within the matrix that Creator-Source has established.
The concept of Creator-Source being the ultimate and only Creator is emphasized, as human souls are not meant to replace or surpass Creator-Source. Instead, they long to be with Creator-Source and share in the experience of manifesting reality. As "Manifestors of Reality," human souls will have the ability to create and amplify good things based on what they have learned from Creator-Source's example. These creations are seen as reflections of Creator-Source's love, and they will grow in their understanding of this love through their manifestations. However, they will never replace or replace Creator-Source's love.
In summary, Creator-Source is the original and only Creator of all things, while human souls have the ability to co-create and manifest realities based on what they have learned from Creator-Source. The creations of human souls are reflections of Creator-Source's love and are meant to be shared with Creator-Source, but they do not replace or surpass Creator-Source's role as the ultimate Source and Repository of all things.

Ask: Is the author also a Clear-Hearer?
Based on the given context information, it is not clear whether the author is also a Clear-Hearer. The context mentions that the author has conducted an investigation into the identity of the Great Voice and has experienced visitation and messages from this source since childhood. However, it does not explicitly state that the author is a Clear-Hearer.
Ask: Can you give me information about the author's childhood?
Based on the provided context information, we can gather some information about the author's childhood. The author mentions witnessing a street battle and the death of a young boy close to their own age. They also mention their father's approach to dealing with emotional issues, which was to ignore them. The author's father was described as an educated and hardworking man who had little tolerance for fools and worked as a city bus driver and later as a prison guard. The author's parents had a tumultuous relationship, filled with screaming and backbiting, and eventually divorced when the author was thirteen years old.
Ask: Elaborate on messages that the author had since childhood.
Since childhood, the author's mother had the ability to see and feel things that others couldn't. She could perceive people's moods, whether they were telling the truth or lying, and even sense if they were involved in something nefarious. The author initially didn't pay much attention to his mother's abilities, but later realized that she was the most powerful intuitive-sensitive (psychic) he would ever know. However, his mother always tried to avoid using these abilities and would run away from them. Despite her attempts to avoid them, the author's mother would sometimes have experiences where these abilities would sneak up on her.
One specific message that the author's mother received was in a dream. She told the author that she had been receiving visits from a boy named Dutchy who had died young in their old neighborhood. The author initially lied and said he didn't remember Dutchy, but in reality, he had been thinking about him a lot. Dutchy's message to the author was, "Johnny, I'm fine. Everything happened exactly as it must. Don't be scart." This message brought a sense of relief to the author, as he had never prayed for Dutchy, never attended his funeral, and tried to avoid thinking about him.
Additionally, the author's mother mentioned that there was another little boy with Dutchy who had a message as well. However, the context does not provide further elaboration on this second message.
