Thanks for being brave enough to admit to being confused, we will try to clear that up.
We were describing a process by which a new personality may join our group. We have observed this to happen from time to time. They may be considered to be born into our group since it seems to us that they never existed before being created.
But, possibly, they are already exisitng personalities from our group, and we just were not aware of them until they took the reins and became the front. Its really hard to be sure of any of this stuff... We just throw out ideas and see how well they work. If a better idea comes along that is more useful then we may neglect or discard competing ideas that appear less useful.
Some personalities with whom we have internal dialogues may be internalizations of people we have known in the past. We don't typically consider them to be part of our group. We consider them to be an avatar of the other person, sort of that person's emissary.
New people show up in our group frequently too, but we think we are learning enough about how or why that happens to try and change that.
Trying to change that brings up another issue, why should we want to change that? Maybe we will not want to change it, and maybe we are powerless to change it; the point being to explore the possibility of whether it can be changed. We can then decide whether or not it should be changed.
Can you please explain the difference between 'born in' and 'walk in'?
Hmmm... you say you want to go home too... Perhaps you have solved part of the mystery of why we always wind up feeling so homesick.
Your experiences seem very different from ours. Or maybe not, perhaps all the novels we have been trying to write are really stories aobut our internal worlds and lives.
Do you write about your realm?
We suspect that none of us want to live here in this life... but we may need the body in order to fullfill certain obligations. We have discovered that suicide doesn't work. So we seem to be stuck with being here and need to learn to make the best of it.
How do you cope? Are you able to work and care for yourself and so forth? We were on disablity about 10 years and it sometimes gets very hard to see our current life as being any better than then.
On another topic....
It's rough. Multiples have not had a community long enough to develop a consistent language about their expereinces. We have tried to learn from people we have read posts from here. But we may still use words in ways that remain unfmailiar.
Multiples will likley go through a long period of creating our own minority culture within the mainstream culture, but we are the best people prepared to do this because we already participate in our internal communities and cultures and we have developed our own internal meanings for some words.
Are new egos new people in our group?
