Subliminal Voice

[Wind in Trees]

A few years ago I had been asleep, and upon waking up I became conscious of a calm male voice telling me something along the lines of how useless /worthless I am, and always will be.
It's happened twice now.

I remained motionless and it lasted another few seconds before it ceased.
It sounded like it was coming from inside my head, not outside.

My first thought, amongst the shock of it all, was "no wonder I feel the way I do about myself if this is happening to me in my sleep"
It reminded me of a procedure a teacher from Primary School suggested we do to remember our times tables. And that was to record ourselves reciting the times tables on a tape recorder. Then placing the tape recorder under the bed and letting it play while we slept.

There's also been a vision I have had whilst waking up that I seem to lump into same category as above experience.
It was an active, live image, of a male workboot standing on a semi clear tube to kink/limit the flow of what I took to be my life force. The vision came with an all too familiar unpleasant feeling of oppression.

I have my suspicions as to what this means but would very much value any offerings of advice.

I'm truly almost in tears at the gratitude of being able to ask about this. I feel safe in this place. I'm also concerned, but remain positive I can rise above this.

I don't mean to be personal Tree's but could this be something from your childhood,a negative person in your life,that is somehow coming back to haunt you.I cant see you being worthless or useless as I find your posts interesting and enlightening.Try to brush this negative stuff off.Your cool.

That is very kind of you to say Oz. It gave me a lift.

It is not too personal of you to ask. I appreciate your sensitivity.
Thing is I grew up in an alcoholic, violent and neglectful environment. It was inevitable for me to come away from that feeling worthless. I don't believe it though. No one is worthless. I see it as a false belief, however, the template I run off of is still heavily damaged. I live with a lot of fear and panic. I desire a better life but it is a daily struggle and I am looking for answers to free myself.

Your theory is plausible. Given I was already broken it wouldn't take much for someone to maintain that level of despair in me.

Well something good came out of that environment,despite everything.I think we are born with our natures and it might get knocked about,but never really changes our true selves.

I sometimes hear old messages from childhood in my head, and now I challenge them. For instance, if I hear that I am lazy, worthless, etc. I ask "how do you know? Can you back that up with facts?" Sometimes an interesting dialogue will ensue, and usually I win. Keep in mind that my experience may not be identical to yours, but I think that whether it is a negative entity in real time or just old conditioning, it may help to question the ideas being presented, even if only to challenge those ideas.

Also, when I feel negativity trying to overcome me, I make a list of all the good and positive things about myself and read them out loud. I hope you can resolve this!

For some reason “ father “ immediately popped into my head when reading this post.

Hi Garnet
Great advice. I do recognise statements go through my mind that sound like what a particular person in my life would say. My sister can be pretty cruel and I recognise her criticism often.
This subliminal voice, however, wasn't like that. It could have been any number of things I suppose. It left me shocked at the calmness.
It seems to me the answers to a few problems is to rise above them. No matter what the cause.

You sound very kind to yourself in your ways of rising above the negativity. It's a good example to lead by. Thank You.

Thanks for saying it was a blessing I became aware of it. It is a good angle to take.
