My client [name withheld] has a voice again speaking to her which she feels she can’t ignore and insists it is not an entity. Can you tell us what is the origin of the voice she hears threatening her that bad things will happen if she doesn’t follow their instructions? What can we do to help her, and what can you do?

She is correct this is not an entity. This is a part of her mind, and she has the ability to tune in to the deeper levels of the subconscious and she is simply generating fear-based thoughts and then picking these up with her antenna, and so they appear in her mind unexpectedly and not a part of her direct thinking process. This is what causes concern and some confusion. She knows these are not her thoughts, at least the normal thoughts. It comes on its own and is therefore very similar to other intrusive messages she has received again and again from dark spirits through the years as these are disturbing. It is only natural because they are created in response to inner fear and it is this very capability and the vibration that is exploited by spirit meddlers to produce a self-tormenting process within a person. As you know, this is often a residue left after spirits are removed and can make the client assume nothing has changed because their voices are still present. It may be the case that their spirit meddler attachments have been coasting along and letting their host self-torment without their having to raise a finger, so to speak, for some time. And so their removal changes nothing in terms of symptoms, but in fact such clearing is always beneficial because as long as they are present, they pose continued risks for further mischief. And even if a residue of harm is left that is difficult to heal, it is better to be clear and have such leftover symptoms than to not be clear and have the possibility of even greater self-inflicted horrors with that negative energy of entities driving things forward. She can be coached to learn to balance her thinking, to not be so hard on herself, that she needs to cultivate self-acceptance and self-love because this is divine and a divine instruction and lesson given to all. Learning to ignore negative messages of all kinds will serve her greatly. So that advice is sound, but to always label this as an entity as a first assumption can serve to undermine her by increasing her fear and then raising the stakes in coping with the experience. These kinds of persistent thoughts are a nuisance and can be distressing, but people can learn to ignore them and they will fade in time with this self-discipline. Again, the key is ignoring all things negative and to reward the self for standing strong and offering a counterpoint and opposite view, to remind the self and the subconscious that it is loved and deserves to be happy, and anything taking away from happiness is unwanted. This is not to say that chores and work can be ignored in favor of levity and recreation, only that self-denial and harsh self-criticism are misplaced and will never be a benefit. There can be a realistic assessment of shortcomings and an awareness when one is shirking one’s duty selfishly, and so on. But that that need not be a cause for self-recrimination and condemnation. Those increase fear and stress and will distract and be harmful. This is a situation best met with loving kindness and understanding, to realize she has this nature and must find a way to govern this so it does not overwhelm her. To be sure, it can be masked by medication but, as you know, that comes with a downside as well. So if she can learn to manage this and function, it will be very, very, helpful for her because it will be very self-empowering to see she is able to control these things and to be in charge of herself. And this is very much needed for her after so many years of feeling subjugated and at the mercy of outside forces. This seems very similar and is triggering her inner stress responses as a consequence. Her discernment in identifying this as not being an entity is a very positive and healthy sign that she is not descending into capitulation and letting her fear run away with her. This is all to the good, and she just needs some support and encouragement that she can continue to carry on and will not be harmed by these voices, but to learn to turn aside any notions that truly work against her, that cause her pain or suffering in some way as these are always fear-based self-criticisms and are not valid.
