Autonomous voice communication: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

#'''Separately generated audible external responses''' - This level can be defined as externally heard conversational responses to one's own thoughts and feelings which are perceived as a clearly defined and audible voice which sounds as if it is coming from outside one's own head. These can take on a variety of voices, accents and dialects, but usually sound identical to one's own spoken voice.

The speaker behind this voice is ~~innately~~ interpreted by those who ~~experience communication with~~ it to be ~~either that~~ of one's subconscious, the [[psychoactive substance]] itself or even supernatural concepts such as god, spirits, souls and ancestors.

The speaker behind this voice is commonly interpreted by those who it to be the voice of one's own subconscious, the [[psychoactive substance]] itself, a specific [[autonomous entity]], or even supernatural concepts such as god, spirits, souls and ancestors.

~~The~~ 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.

At higher levels, the 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 everyday conversations~~, each of which~~ stem from the ~~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 vocabulary down to the very use of their colloquial slang and subtle mannerisms.

However, there are some subtle but identifiable differences between this experience and that of normal everyday conversations. These stem from the fact that one's specific set of knowledge, memories and experiences are identical to that of the voice which is being communicated with. This results in conversations in which both participants often share an identical vocabulary down to the very use of their colloquial slang and subtle mannerisms. As a result of this, no matter how in depth and detailed the discussion becomes, no entirely new information is ever exchanged between the two communicators. Instead, the discussion focuses primarily on building upon old ideas and discussing new opinions or perspectives regarding the previously established content of one's life.

===Analysis===

===~~Effect analysis~~===

The experience of communicating with hallucinated voices 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>Listening for the Logos:

Even outside of these drug-induced experiences, hearing voices within one's head is a well documented psychological phenomena and 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)~~.<ref>In Your Head: Hearing Voices | http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200701/in-your-head-hearing-voices</ref><ref>http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/july/voices-culture-luhrmann-071614.html</ref></onlyinclude>
