The balance system and schizophrenia

[trevorjohnson83]

People like to say an 'energy' creates ghosts or voices. The obvious nature is that voices are only heard by the listener. I believe the balance system is the center for voice hearing, not the cochlea. I have several reasons to believe this. One is that deaf people can still get schizophrenia. Another reason is the balance system, a gyroscope, and a fan are all the same instrument essentially, each is a spinning or vibrating in place. The balance system has been proven to mediate certain sounds. When a fan is on a medium for the balance system is active and a person is more apt to hear voices. So because the balance system hears voices and not the cochlea the signal for the interpretation of the sound goes into the part of the brain that is controlled unconsciously. The sound of the fan nor the balance system is rattling voices, its just the part of the brain that hears voices receives signals through an involuntary receptor that is the balance system. The balance system itself may be a gate for memory and be related to the subconscious. If you don't have schizophrenia you may just hear things that are largely left up to interpretation.

I have heard of a condition where people actually hear music when there is none.

adrenaline build up from false beliefs that are reinforced by voices, for example your neighbor is communicating with telepathy, can make a schizophrenic stare wide eyed in silence. The adrenaline is based on a false premise so to dissolve it back to nothing you can tell yourself 'I'm not going to cure anything big as stars right now' and stop contemplating the disorder, re-directing your mind's attention to things that you choose.

Sitting in silence is what you do when you contemplate deep answers to things, when you get insulted this happens too. It's better not to let the mind run on full power this way and shrug off whatever is a burden, otherwise the influence that's got you on silent overdrive will create thoughts that just spiral you down a hole.

These triggers are really common for schizoids and the time spent sitting in them should be limited and controlled:

1.Fan or spaceheater,
2.ongoing story,
3.rejuvination with schizoid art and music,
4.open window,
5.believing telepathy and all eyes are on your thoughts,
6.staying up late,
7.getting bullied
8.invention fear,
9.fear in the paint on the wall (pareidolia),
10.wanting to be center of attention,
11.adrenaline from hallucinating
12.people in the other room talking/TV.

For delusions of spinning in the vision alone, there may be a wobbling from the center of the forehead that influences that but in the vision alone you can control the spinning with this trick: Pick something to stare at, then while starring change your mind's attention to something else in your peripheral. After a second that object will start to wobble or spin. Then change your minds attention to a different object in your vision and that object will start to wobble. Changing your mental focus around like this will take care of any future hallucination's in the vision from a spinning.

Your mind is probably not on overdrive all the time, a lot of times silence in the mind is a relaxing state where you think of nothing to calm down. The feeling on your vestibular, where you might hear tinnitus, is the symptom to look out for.

Just listening for tinnitus and feeling the vestibular will alter your anxiety if you feel any. Tinnitus also seems to change frequently when in a boredom or depression, again listening to it and observing changes of stuffy pain and in the tinnitus will help relieve the attachment to your mind being overwhelmed.
