I didn't mean to imply that having more than one mind is in any way a problem. Twins don't think of themselves as being messed up because there's more than one of them. I only meant to point out that there is great variety in the way things are formed, more than most people really immagine that there could be. Human beings are not as "standardized" as people think, there are more variations than most people would expect.

Just as most people expect that one single baby at a time will be born, most people expect just one mind... there's no reason why either of those things should be true. And once a person realizes that there can be more than one body, there can also be more than one mind. Perhaps totally separate... perhaps interconnected. Connected to a greater or lesser extent...

I don't expect that minds are formed the same way as bodies, just that there can be just as much variety in minds as in bodies. Maby even more variety in minds.

Personally, I think that some connection and perhaps bleedover is a good thing... it helps with communication. It's harder when we have less connection than the times when we connect more.
