Hi Kim,
That is very valuable that you are able to write about the voices/thoughts that appear out of the nowhere, float through awareness, then disappear back into the nowhere. Very few people reach such a high level. It is a gift of Grace.
We must forever continue practice in order to keep our gifts, and to evolve into our new gifts waiting for us.
As we learn over time to understand our inner thoughts with the Light of Truth, eventually the mental attachment to those voices/thoughts will become more and more unvelcro'd - then they are replaced completely by the Light of Truth.
You are really the only one that can explore and find what practical tools work for you. Possibilities: reading everything spiritual and self-help, being totally open-minded to all different views. Or the same type of audio files on an mp3 player while walking, or even sleeping. Immerse yourself in learning, and don't waste life on useless entertainment or idle chatter if you can help it. You have a rare opening into the Truth, but it requires letting go of the false desires & attractions of society. The path through the valley must be traveled alone, while still integrating knowledge from those ahead of us.
If you prefer to learn in groups, you might be fortunate to find a truly serious Kundalini instructor nearby, or any other spiritual discipline committed to self-enquiry and inner spirit growth, like Course In Miracles, Buddhism, Sikh, or groups studying Maharshi, Nisargadatta, many Rinpoches and Lamas, Gopi Krishna, or current teachers like Guru Rattana, David Hawkins, Wolinsky, Genpo Roshi, more. Even Freud & Jung. Whatever works for you. All legitimate teachings lead to the same inner knowledge of "I Am The Way".
There are also many fakes and lightweights. One way to tell is how much money they charge - it must be free, minimal, or donation only - otherwise they are attached to the illusion of money & material objects rather than Truth. Also age might indicate more spiritual maturity and value to students. Even the Buddha had to learn over time.
Also your writing ability may be able to be expanded - there are a few people who reach a kind of 'automatic writing' in which the inner spirit takes over and flows the words to paper or computer. This would be especially worthy of sharing with the world.
So beautiful what you wrote - the universe is infinite therefore so am I.
The 'I' that is infinite, is not the 'I' trapped in ego and thoughts. Our egoic 'I' will die, either with the death of the body, or by our choice now. Our mission is to re-connect to the 'Eye' of Truth.

Hey I thank you because while the voices can be disturbing they are very insightful I have started using them to write some poetry as I am trying to integrate all that they say and no my ego is not my friend Luckily for me there are a lot of forums and you are right about the 30 sec yoga practice But in order for me to walk thru this valley what are the very practical tools you can tell me about For one thing I think that this practice has made me stronger that to know if the universe is infinite than so am I
