The whole angle about intrusive thoughts bears out with personal experience. I have had shocking thoughts and feelings injected into my thoughtstream. People with a high capacity for self scrutiny and filtering unproductive 'noise' can dismiss such attacks. But the common hylic is driven around by demonic influence. Intrusive thoughts are bad enough, but I feel for those harassed by fully realized voices.

OP here. I’ve heard their voices. Most often though they come to me in the form of heavy thoughts I can sense (heavy as in I can feel their quite noticeable presence in my head). 
Back in late July/early August I was on the precipice of a breakthrough in my development (perhaps more accurately spiritual development). I was arguing with one of the voices about reality. It kept trying to convince me of atheism and full blown existential nihilism. I ended up breaking down and crying, before reading some of Ernest Holmes’ “The Hidden Power Of The Bible”, and reading the last two thirds of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “The Over-Soul” (I highly recommend them both, perhaps especially Emerson’s essay) and feeling spiritually invigorated, thus cementing this new “era” I’m personally in.
Before that in July, after reading some of the book “A New Earth” (which I mentioned earlier in the thread), I argued with them about the whole “ego” thing. They tried to convince me that I was the “ego”, I kept arguing and they got so insistent I cried at the end of it.

One last thing, back in November I was thinking about how I’d tell some people about this and at that moment I felt their presence immensely on my back and around my throat. They essentially said (though in the form of thought more so) “if you tell anyone and continue thinking about this we’ll break your neck and kill you”.

When did you first start hearing voices?

OP here responding. Given what I remember being the case, and given what Jerry says (in the Freeman interview about it being a “continuum”), I probably had them here and there for many a good few years of my life.
However, due to a number of experiences from late 2018 through roughly mid 2019, and then more starting in late 2019 and going on and off (a little bit) until the start of the pandemic and lockdowns (about March/April of 2020), I ended up in a place where I was really questioning things: society, government, existential topics, etc. 
These swelled up in July when I A: Saw my first UFO, and B: From there, started to really, REALLY go all in on my own personal “tirade” against society and the government. 
I was looking for answers, simultaneously upset, confused and distraught, and so one source I thought I could turn to was intuition. However, I mistook the thoughts from the voice, and the voice (which as explained earlier, even at that point I believe, communicated more so by way of thoughts then a flat out voice) as my intuition. And so coupling that with the aforementioned feelings, it got to a point where I went off the deep end. Especially when the voices made me think I lost my soulmate back in January. I had a mental breakdown on May 4th and eventually rose to the point I mentioned in the last post in late July/early August.

What did you do to fend off the voices?

OP here responding. For the most part I would argue with them and be unmoving in my determination to believe/know what’s true and good. I’d do what I mentioned in the second part of this post too  
I’ve read the 23rd Psalm as mentioned by Jerry and it does seem to work, especially when I put conviction behind it (for the record I suppose, I do not believe in what it says in the utmost literal and surface level sense, with all its connotations. But I agree with some of it in sentiment, and on a literary level, I think it’s very well written, powerfully so in fact. Particularly the “Yea, though I walk the shadow of the valley of death” verse).
