Reading about the discussions on co-consciousness, it sparked a reminder of some thoughts I've pondered about from time to time. I'm not even sure I can accurately describe them, but I will do my best. I suppose it might be philosophical or just "deep," where my brain can't fully wrap around it. Sort of like, how and why is it possible? Of course I mainly accept it just is what it is, but has anyone delved further into how in the heck it is possible that co-consciousness and blurring can happen? Sometimes we go there and it is just...hmmm.... no words can quite describe the feelings as I/we try to grasp ahold of the deeper hows and whys, etc. I guess I'm wondering on a scientific basis, spiritual basis, or well, from any sort of frame of reference. The mind and body are so intriguing.
I'm not even sure I'm expressing myself fully at what I'm trying to get at. I'm trying to conjure up a way to phrase things with specific questions or more explicit expressions of thoughts.
We have co-consciousness and blurring from time to time; It happens. But I wonder how it can be possible. It isn't that I disbelieve it, but it is like something happens and I experience it, but how and why is it the way it is? Are we sharing a body's brain space? In a way, too, it is as though we are our own individual minds and bodies, but we've been sort of squeezed next to one another or front/behind one another in this clothing and appearance of one body when we are fronting. Sort of like when 2 people step inside a large piece of clothing and walk around together and the appearance is as though it is one person, but yet it isn't. And of course it isn't limited to 2 people. But then I think well, what if we are sharing a body's brain space? So how is that happening? What is it like in the brain? And when blurring happens, it is really bizarre to think about the hows and whys. This is when the idea of sharing brain space seems more likely to be what is happening, but how does it happen? What are the mechanics behind it? Aacck! I'm trying to reach ahold of a concept and question that I don't feel I'm expressing with the right words and what I'm getting at. I suppose I am to some extent, but there feels like there is something else there that I'm reaching for to express or explain and it is just beyond my grasp. I so hate that.
Anyway, I've probably reiterated the same thing a bunch of different ways. Hopefully I've made a little bit of sense with what I'm trying to get at.

Date: 2005-10-31 10:42 pm (UTC)Sort of like the things you learn, memories, beliefs (?), etc. are mapped in the brain through electrical and chemical processes.
I can see that multiples have individual minds of electrical and chemical process patterns mapped within the brain that are individualistic to each person in the system. It does make sense what you said about the times several are more active (i.e. fronting) and when they mesh so close together (blurring, very close co-consciousness, etc.).
I certainly do not want to generalize any of this for anyone, as I can see that people may have other perspectives or experiences. It does seem to me to be a possibility as to how and why co-consciousness and blurring can occur, etc. At the same time, I'm still very open to theories. I do like this one though as it does seem plausible. :-)I forgot all about the synapses, neurotransmitters, electromagnetic fields, etc. Thanks for sharing a theory!
Hmmm...getting additional feedback from others in here. I suppose for walk-ins and otherkin that it might be more like a spiritual or other dimension experience, or perhaps just somehow linking up through electrical and spiritual fields that creates a co-consciousness or blurring from time to time. I received a picture with that thought and understanding. I envisioned two bodies or two presences and they share this physical outer body and their separate physical minds with their own individual electrical and spiritual fields sort of connect and link up and perhaps map together with the body's brain which allows for information sharing... sort of telepathically or ability to communicate with one another. Of course this isn't limited to just two linking up and communicating. I guess what I mean is sort of like two or more people or presences and the body's brain is this one central location where messages can be sent from a separate person/presence (separate body with brain) to the body's brain via electrical or spiritual or some kind of manner. These electrical, spiritual, whatever it is then links up with the electrical and chemical processes of the body's brain and then others doing the same thing simultaneously end up with co-conscious communication or blurring.
Goodness, I don't know. I have noooooo idea how it works. Just some thoughts and possibilities.
It almost seems easier to not even think about how it works and why we have these experiences and how we are here in this body, etc.
It is good food for thought though I guess...or some of us enjoy analyzing and theorizing and wondering and figuring out. :-)
Thanks,
