First, Hi Marie, havn't replied to you in a long time. Nice to see everyone again.
The first statement: We are all pieces of the fabric that is the "Universe"
Fabric implies continuity to me, I see no reason to make this assumption. I
suspect that there may be a real thing that "space" is, but we dont know that, and
physics has yet to say that. To assume it is not reasonable.
There is no reason to suspect that the cause of internal voices is anything
other than delusion. There is no shred of evidence to support the opinion that the
messages people hear in their heads come from an external source, and there is good
evidence to suppose that it is wholly internal. Its called by many names, and there
are many medications for it.
I would suspect that it is common for people to hear voices - those with messed
up psyches get medicated, become fanatics, go insane, whatever.

The reason it seems to matter where the voices come from is due to the Animal nature
of the human brain. We are still very much Barbarians. We still kill each other for
pleasure, fear all that is different from us etc... I want to know how to control
those who become a menace becasue of the voices they hear, and exactly why and how
they are hearing these things.

My favorite thing about you is that you like to make magic from all you dont have
the information to understand. I would imagine, and this is intended as a
compliment, that you are a very romantic and kind person in you non-computer life
(not that you arent kind here also)

As for the uniqueness, I would agree that all grains of sand are unique unto
themselves, but in a sea of sand, the concept of uniqueness because trivial - So I
agree - it is bunk.
