Concious or Spirit Guide?

For a long time now I have been talking to myself, often trying to (I suppose) persuade myself with many things... Example: "there is a god" "your mother loves you" "I think those shoes look great on you". But sometimes I hear a voice in my head but it's my voice. Is it my conscious, if there is such a thing, or is it my spirit guide?

I think you answered your own question at the very end. Personally working in the medical field, if you take medication for auditory hallucinations and fail to take them every day, as you should...you can effectively make your problem worsen over time. It's considered even "dangerous" to go on and off such powerful medication.

I think the last poster kinda hit the nail on the head. As for the question in general hear voices to but I am able to comprehend the difference, your conscious is usually your moral guide the other voices can sometimes be your subconscious reminding you of things , or a " spirit" guide trying to help you along the way, there are even some of us that believe our residing deities speak to us in this same manner. But for most with a bit of insight it's not hard to tell the difference between these internal voices and , if you believe these voices could be your " spirit guide" I would suggest takeing your medication and seeing if you still here them . Unfortunately in your case it could just mean you need a stronger dose , or as bad as this sounds (and I am in no way a medical practitioner ) you could just have a whack job for a doctor that has needlessly put you on medication. ( Sorry but I'm that nonconformist person that believes if it's happening to me it's meant to be this way I do not take medication unless it is a last ditch effort)

Thank you both, but I've heard this voice for years maybe, two years at the most. And during those years my medication has been raised, all while I've been taking it regularly. But I did find someone who helped me greatly with finding my spirit guide and I am doing major research as I write this reply. So thank you and Blessed Be.

Has your research been fruitful?

Somewhat. I couldn't find anything by the name Yvadi'Xyleth though.

All the basic stuff; meditation, grounding and centering, right breathing etc, is all designed to help with your signal clarity and teaches you how to discern genuine spirit/divine contact from the mental sock puppets we all have.

Devi Spring has an excellent post about these practices and why we do them on her blog. It's within the context of learning spirit evocation but covers techniques and practices all magical and spirit workers should really have under their belt.
