Multiplicity

I have a friend who is very much the medical model version of multipilicity, one person fragmented into different parts. I jokingly call her Sybil, she usually throws something at me, its all very accepting and friendly. It does seem there is a process of integration going on with her, which is why I brought this up. However this integration isn't some choice, some active process, it is more that the more they all work on talking to each other, accepting each other, and developing as a person/people the barriers that they needed at one time to be there are removing, and with that becomes more communiciation and acceptance, which causes a sort of mushing together. This process is right at the beginning, where it will end up who can tell. They may integrate into one, or they may simply become very fluid. But the point is integration in my opinion will only really work that way, imposed integration, active process of integration anything that makes the process unnatural, I think will collapse, will revert to its original.

As for the difficulty communiciating. Sure being different species can make it difficult but it isn't impossible. When our five tribes started to communicate with each other there were a lot of difficulties, a lot of challenges and more than a few hostile exchanges. But to say, oh we are too different it isn't going to work, isn't going to exactly encourage further attempts. This isn't a world of quick fixes, or at least it wasn't for us.
