> I don't think I've ever heard of it.I think some people do get this. They might hear what they interpret to be the voice of god telling them they have a special calling or something like that. This... Might count as a 'nice thing' to say???!
I hear voices. They can be nice sometimes.
But usually... Voices seem to be experienced as distressing... Interesting to consider how much this is because of something intrinsic to the experience and to consider how much that might arise from the experience being considered to be socially unacceptable.
Lots of people have talked about hearing what they interpret to be the voice of god. Some people don't want that experience to stop - they consider they are blessed with a gift.
