Taking back a Word,...

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

So I've heard alot of People talking lately about "Integration" and I have to say,. The thought of what the Dr.'s, Psychy's, And Therapists see it as is frightening.

I wouldn't want it. Even with a million dollar purse attached.

I have come to know and live with my brothers and as far as I'm concerned "I am Integrated!"

I view Integrated as being able to live life, in a semblance of Order that works for you! (All of you even,.........LOL)

I love Lilly Tomlin in that movie,..........Whoops! That's,..."All of Me" with Steve Martin.

Anyways, Taking back the word for 'US' I think would be a huge Boon in our Campaign in Fostering amnity and understanding in the world, which we face constant ridicule, shame, torture, hatred Etc. Etc. Ad-nausium, Ad-Infinitum.

In World War 2 If you were discovered to be Homosexual (And not killed immeadiatly) You were forced to Wear an upside-down Pink Triangle on your clothing (similar to the Star of David that the Jews had to wear.) That has since become our Banner. (reffering to the Gay Community.)

Our Standard, Our Coat Of arms almost. (Along with the rainbow that has only 6 colors, {red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple.} No Indigo present, like in the standard Rainbow/Spectrum of color.)

Which thusly has turned an extremely Negative and dangerous thing, Into something positive, and inspiring.

I think the same should be done for "Intigration".

It seems rather Barbaric that the thought of, Killing off the 'Others' and absorbing them back into one consciousness,(which is what the Dr.'s/Therapists would like to see.) is like asking one of us to cut off an arm or a foot,. I know I "Just can't do it." and I wouldn't want or ask anyone else to either.

I understand that there are those out there who Need and Desire the Textbook re-Integration,. But I am coming to learn that those of us, who can cope in reality, can also become Integrated in a sense that, The whole Family/System/Core and Alters/House Etc. all live and work together. For the mutual benefit of Existance.

I think that would be an admirible goal for all of us to strive for.

Here's wishing Luck for the Future,.......
