Well, I'm not so much challenging what Angelus is saying--what's true for you is true for you, as the saying goes--as much as I'm trying to figure out what sort of conversation we're having.
I still feel like I'm lost in the shoals somewhere. I've never felt 'multiple personalities' equals 'hosting spirits'. One thing's one thing, the other thing's the other thing. Maybe I'm being intransigent, but words have to mean something or they have no value.
I also don't quite buy that muses are soulbonds, either, but then, maybe that's me, too. I have muses, and they nag me, but they are not real. I know they are not real. Any power they have over my actions--which is mostly in the realm of, getting me to write things--is power I've given them. So I don't understand that term either.
Maybe I'm at the point where I just smile politely, and back away slowly out of the conversation.
