The multitude of voices in our head are readily accessible to science.
How frightening it must be to assume we are inherently monolithic beings, and then to hear the "others" in our heads. We are forced to assume that
some of the voices are evil, even foreign. We must become Qabbalists and study the hierarchy of angels and elemental beings, and seek to resolve them, and
ourselves, into an ultimate unity, which we take by faith.
There are other viewpoints, but they are so strange to the "tonal of the times". How, we may wonder, can we account for our many voices as assumed
monolithic beings in a monolithic universe? The standard answer is to say that some voices are evil. That's the monolithic way. Create a hierarchy, and say
the voices are unnatural.
Surely there is one voice among them all that is "the right one". Surely there is then, one voice that is wrong, as the monolithic universe demands.
