(1) At age 12 or so, re my parents: "They're not on your side." (A very clear voice that popped up in my head after a minor conflict when I was 12---at 12, who was I to know whether or not this was true, or whether I was just a kid feeling momentarily angry... but "the message" later helped me to understand why they were so constantly nasty to me. When you're a kid, you don't know why. Today, at 53, looking back at everything, I've discovered that the message was true.)
(2) Not so much a voice, but a gut reaction with physical goosebumps: Sandra loves me. (This one is rather ridiculous on the surface, based on the majority of her behavior. But, hey, who am I to argue with goosebumps...)
(3) Oh, yeah... Since 1987, Joan Crawford has never let me down. Three things.

They enter as animals from the outer
Space of holly where spikes
Are not the thoughts I turn on, like a Yogi,
But greenness, darkness so pure
They freeze and are.
---Among the greatest of opening lines ever.
