I am not religious. Last December I began to spiral out of control and did something that I felt was a betrayal to both God and man. Shortly after I began to feel what can only be described as the presence of a higher being. I felt intense fear at first, but after time my fear subsided. I was lost, and was receiving some much needed guidance. It’s not just voices… whenever I get a profound thought something will happen… a noise or movement of some kind. Almost reassuring… very reassuring and very real. Can anyone relate? I apologize if any of this is confusing and will answer any and all questions.

maybe it will help if you give a specific example. are you saying 'it' guides you? and says things to you?

I don't see how the tread title and the OP relate.......

Op got the holy spirit...if you know what I mean.

“It” does speak to me fairly often, and causes me to constantly question my sanity. Sometimes I will hear short phrases and other times I will think to myself, or even speak out loud, and when I reach my point something will happen. I will feel a rush of energy and electronics in my house will react at the exact same moment. Or furniture will creak, bottles will pop, etc. I wouldn’t think anything of this but it always happens at the exact moment I make my point. Literally the exact moment. Even as I type this. I know it’s not an auditory hallucination because I have had others confirm that there is actually a noise. It usually feels encouraging. I will give you an example of a “lighter” experience. While driving last Saturday night I began to question my sanity. Moments later I heard a whisper in my ear warning me to be cautious and slow down. I pumped my brakes and a cat ran out from behind some cars and darted across the street. If I didnt slow down it would have been killed. This happened on three separate occasions. “It” has told me in the past to respect all living things. I do enjoy the occasional toke, but have gone without and still had similar experiences. Good buds help me spiritually. I do understand how that might hurt my credibility.

When you get this profound thought and something happens do you also feel it happen. Like... feel the force causing these reactions. Also, have you ever questioned these voices? Do the voices ever exclaim anything to you? Do others hear the voices around you?

when asked that you have ever questioned the voices i mean literally confronted the voice with a question.

The only "voice" I hear is generally in Winter. It warns me if I'm not paying enough attention when walking /about to walk on icy surfaces. Saved me quite a few falls.

Yes, I feel it happen nearly every time. I can feel the difference between positive and negative reactions to my ideas. I have asked questions, but feel that I shouldn’t. I usually don’t get a response when I do anyways. It is arrogant of me to do so, and I can definitely feel a negative vibe when I begin to lose focus and speak with disrespect. Towards the beginning “it” spoke to me directly to warm me of the path I was on and expressed it’s disapproval of some of the more fucked up things I have done. It doesn’t happen much anymore. Only when necessary. No one has ever heard the voice around me, but a friend of mine has told me she can feel me thinking about her. She actually called me once and asked me if I was telling her I loved her with my thoughts. At the moment I was thinking about how amazing she is and how much i care for her. I have never experienced that with anyone else.

Do you believe it to be intuition, or something more? If something more, what?
