The voices in MY head tell me that this is okay.

You can tie this into the way the bicameral mind communicates between hemispheres and the ideas that in times past, the corpus callosum was far less developed than it is today... and that the "gods" men heard was the process of thinking we know today, but in a completely different context.

The voices, like Socrates' daemon, were seen as positive until the advent of Christianity and the voices became the work of "Satan and his minions."

Can hearing voices in your head be a good thing?

...The University of Manchester investigation – announced on World Hearing Voices Day (Thursday, 14th September) – comes after Dutch researchers found that many healthy members of the population there regularly hear voices.

Although hearing voices has traditionally been viewed as 'abnormal' and a symptom of mental illness, the Dutch findings suggest it is more widespread than previously thought, estimating that about 4% of the population could be affected.

Researcher Aylish Campbell said: "We know that many members of the general population hear voices but have never felt the need to access mental health services; some experts even claim that more people hear voices and don't seek psychiatric help than those who do.

"In fact, many of those affected describe their voices as being a positive influence in their lives, comforting or inspiring them as they go about their daily business. We're now keen to investigate why some people respond in this way while others are distressed and seek outside help."
