If

anybody was ever curious about what it was like?

This pretty much sums it up.

Eli: And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. 

But I could hear it clear as day. 

Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. 

It told me that a path would be laid out before me...

It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. 

If only I would have faith...

Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it.

Bingo.

Nailed it.
