  1. I don’t know what to believe about an afterlife, or the spiritual world. One thing that has confused me about it for my whole life is my experience when I was very young.

    Before I could talk very well, I didn’t have my own voice. Obviously, we don’t know what our voices will sound like before we can speak.

    But I always have a running commentary in my head. And when I was young, before I could speak and had my own voice, there was an old man’s voice in my head.

    I remember it clearly, that it was replaced with my own voice once I had one. I was very sad when it left me, and it felt like there was an old caring man who was leaving.

    I don’t know what to think about it. Was I simply capable of thinking in adult sentences before I could physically speak them and invented or copied a voice, and so am I remembering the voice as speaking more fluently than it was? Could I have been reincarnated and this was my past life voice, elderly as presumably I died when old? Or could it have been God?

    I remember it had to leave me. That was part of the sadness I felt. And I was never able to recreate it. Once my own voice was installed in my head thoughts, it never went back to the old man’s voice again. I can vaguely remember what it sounded like, but it is very distant.
