A Discussion Question
We just found this article and were mildly shocked. What do you all think? We're posting this here for discussion's sake.

portraial, though overly dramatic has some semblamce
to the experiences we have had and other 'tribes' we
know offline.
The insistance that one person in their system should
rule also irritates us. We are, as a tribe, radically
democratic. If there is a core in our system that person most likely would be offended by the idea that
one person should rule the system.
One therapist we know makes a distinction between
spirit guides and 'alters'. We do not. We try to
respect all sentient beings within our consciousness.

RingPerson To Rule Them All kind of cultural-centric, too? I mean, not all societies function with One Big Head Guy In Charge, or even if they do, who it is is constantly shifting, so you can have a system of checks and balances that way. There's no guarantee that someone placed in charge, even under a democratic government *whistles and refrains from political commentary* won't make bad decisions or abuse their power at some point.We just... I don't know. We're very loose in our in-system 'government,' which isn't to say that everyone in here has always made perfectly good decisions, because they certainly haven't, but even for the people in here who I see as having a lot of "wisdom"... well, you know, no one's omniscient.

But of course that's not how most systems work. Which is fine! Everybody has to find what suits them, really. Which comes back to my original point, because not only is each person in a multiple system different, but on top of that each system works differently, so it becomes really complicated to try and figure out how to treat them.
