'''Direct communication with the subconscious''' can be described as the experience of engaging in ~~articulate and meaningful~~ linguistic conversations with a disembodied and separate voice of unknown origin residing within one's own head.

'''Direct communication with the subconscious''' can be described as the experience of engaging in linguistic conversations with a disembodied and separate audible voice of unknown origin residing within one's own head.

In a general level of detail, the overall conversational style of that which is discussed between both the voice and its host can be described as essentially identical in terms of its coherency and linguistic intelligibility as that of any other everyday interaction between the self and another human being with which one might engage in conversation with.

There are however some subtle but identifiable differences between this experience and that of normal every day conversations. Each of which stem from the important factor that one's specific set of knowledge, memories and experiences are identical to that of the voice which is being communicated with. This key factor results in a conversation in which both participants share a noticeably identical personal vocabulary down to the very use of their colloquial slang and subtle mannerisms. Alongside of this it’s important to note that unlike every day conversation, no matter how in depth and detailed the discussion becomes, no entirely new information is ever exchanged between the two conversers. Instead, the discussion focuses primarily on building upon old ideas ~~to an amazing extreme~~ and ~~exchanging profoundly insightful~~ new opinions or perspectives regarding the previously established content of one's life. These opinions consistently take an approach to any situation which remains devoid of the emotional attachments, biases and irrationality that plague the cognitive decision-making processes of our every day consciousness.

All of this results in a separate consciousness from one's self which ~~consistently~~ takes on the role of what is perceived to be a spiritual teacher, healer or guide. To aid itself in this goal the voice is often capable of directly manipulating various aspects and intensities of the trip and will either clearly explain the logic behind its decisions or choose to keep it a mystery.

As a whole, the effect itself can be broken down into 4 distinct levels of progressive intensity, each of which are listed below.

The presence and existence of these voices as a legitimate state of mind has been well established with and without the use of ~~psychedelic~~ drugs through scientific study. For example, ~~an excellent and extremely informative survey carried out in 1996 (which can be read about here[http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v07n1/07112bea.html])~~ successfully demonstrated that anybody can encounter a dialogue between themselves and a voice of unknown origin under the influence of [[Psilocin#Psilocybin_Mushrooms|Psilocybin mushrooms]]. This study interviewed 128 participants with an approximate total of 3,427 psilocybin mushroom experiences between them and revealed that 35.9%(46) of the participants reported voices whilst 64%(82) did not.

The presence and existence of these voices as a legitimate state of mind has been well established with and without the use of [[hallucinogenic]] drugs through scientific study. For example, one study successfully demonstrated that anybody can encounter a dialogue between themselves and a voice of unknown origin under the influence of [[Psilocin#Psilocybin_Mushrooms|Psilocybin mushrooms]].

Even outside of these drug induced experiences, hearing voices within one's head is a well documented psychological phenomena that can be read about in detail here[http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200701/in-your-head-hearing-voices]. It can generally be considered as a harmless or sometimes even helpful state of mind to find oneself in (despite its social stigma and associations with schizophrenia).
