What do you mean, maybe they are not parts of me? I guess that question begs a definition of the term "me"... what are your thoughts?
Also, I really value Our functionality and ability to do what needs to be done... I'm actually awed and amazed sometimes at how much We accomplish even though I remain in the dark about the mechanisms involved in accomplishing it...
But, in thinking in terms of consiousness and healing, it seems that there is a value in gaining insight and understanding to the process of which I am able to observe but not necessarily participate. I think that part of the work for anyone, whether multiple or not, is getting a clearer sense of their deeper motivations and healing their misconceptions about reality.
=Based on the concept that no one behaves inconsistently with their beliefs about reality. Even the darkest sociopath is behaving consistently with his/her beliefs about reality.=
I guess it would be nice to have more to go on than just the inferences I must make from their behaviors and some of the enigmatic messages they send me.
But maybe that is MY control issue and there is someone else here keeping track of all that. Even keeping track of me.
Thus the wierdness when trying to understand my identity in relationship to the whole system.
