Hmm. Bit of a controversial question perhaps.

What does anyone know about integration? NOT the forced "everyone needs to be one" sort of integration but spontaneous, natural integration and also temporary intregration or anything of the like.

(While I have heard that most integration is non-permanent anyhow, this isn't quite what I mean but having a hard time figuring out how to communicate the thought better, forgive me)

Sometimes people just decide they don't feel like a "full person" anymore, like they've lost a part of themselves, and wish to blend in with another person.
Sometimes it's 1 person going into 1 person, sometimes it's 5 going into 1. It's a very mutual thing where they "blend" by agreeing with a person/s that they want to join their body.
Later they may decide to split again because they feel like they're ok and are back to their normal selves so they gain their body back.
I hope this makes sense, I'm so tired after work all day.

Do they ever just "disappear"? Because I've been told thats what happened here with spontaneous integrations...they just left completely. (I suppose its possible they merged into someone and no one knew it, because a lot of it never sticks).

But did they all integrate into one person, or did they leave? Big difference!

There used to be someone on this community who anytime someone could no longer feel or sense the others, anytime they seem to have disappeared, would post something to the effect of "sounds like you've integrated," and not to feel bad because "the others are still there, they're you." I always felt this was jumping to conclusions to say the least. I don't doubt there are spontaneous integrations, but the temporary vanishing act kind of thing, or a communications glitch, or the gate getting jammed in a gateway system, seems to happen a lot more often than spontaneous integration.

Can't get too specific on this but on the "leaving" subject. . .we know someone who had brain trauma and a medical condition and their others (other than 2 of them) just disappeared and never came back. Didn't seem like they integrated, they just disappeared. It happened after they were exposed to a chemical of some kind.

So I think it can happen. We've had some who left but always they came back.

Not very coherent right now.

Thats part of it for people here too I think....not feeling like or being a "full person" anymore. I just wrote a massive reply(accidentally lol) down below but ya I forgot to mention that part is true here too.
