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]]. 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.<ref>http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v07n1/07112bea.html</ref>

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).

Upon directly interviewing the voice regarding its origins and general mechanics, people will often receive contradicting but extremely elaborate and complex answers, some of which are clearly delusional and commonly consist of psuedoscientific plots involving concepts such as hyper-dimensional beings, aliens and the gaiain mind of our planet Earth.

A famous and well known example of this within the psychedelic community would be that of [[Terence McKenna]], a psychedelic spokesperson who talked extensively on the subject of [[Psilocin#Psilocybin_Mushrooms|Psilocybin mushrooms]] putting him into contact with an informative, divine voice which provided him with a huge number of elaborate (but not necessarily factual) metaphysical theories. Alongside of these unrelated theories (which can be independently researched) the voice explained to him that he was in communication with planetary wide mycelial networks existing here on earth as well as other planets across the galaxy which are in a state of “hyperlight communication” between each other across space and time. ~~This supposedly divine revelation can be read about in more detail here[~~http://deoxy.org/mushword.htm~~] and~~ is an excellent example of just how elaborate these spoken word revelations can often be.

[[PsychonautWiki|PW]] founder [[user:josificus|josificus]] has a head voice which claims to be that of “the subconscious”. A system which it describes as a constantly present neurological entity which supposedly functions as a dedicated self organizing database of internally stored concepts, existing as the framework behind one's thought stream to create and maintain their personal model of reality.

It is important to note that although certain explanations are significantly more plausible and coherent than others, if people are being taught completely contradictory theories then perhaps these voices are not truly aware of the details regarding their own neurological origins in the first place. Instead they may well be simply telling the individual exactly what they want to hear. Either way, it is impossible to verify any of these claims without some solid scientific research which looks beyond that which we already know. Until this is done, the origins of these voices will forever remain an anecdotal mystery.
