I'm not sure we fit the usual description of multiple, but there are two of us, in this body. Gary is technically a disincarnate walk in. I knew him in life, and after his death he came to live with me. He can take control of my body and we do switch, just like any other multiple. I have no history of abuse, but Gary does. I've known him since early childhood and we had a strong psycic link then. I could hear his thoughts, and I could check on him, mentally, if I wanted to know if he was OK. He took over my body once when he was alive in order to protect me. We have always been together in a way that is hard to explain, lifetime after lifetime. In this life there were times I was aware of that, and at other times not sure exactly what I was experiencing. I did know I experienced someone else's memories, and that person was male. I had a lot of things like that, which made no sense to me. It was all like a jigsaw puzzle, until the last few years.

When he died, he came to me at school. It actually took several moments for me to realize he wasn't there physically, because I felt him so strongly. He told me "I am OK, I am with you." I thought that was strange. He died suddenly, and I didn't know until later that day. I was stunned. He has been with me ever since, though for a while he pretended that he had crossed over, because he felt my obcession with him was not healthy for me. He hid in my subconscious, and convinced me that he was my animus, and various other things, but we always talked, and he always switched with me. I was normally aware of what he said and did, though I didn't control it, but I became ill once and he had to take over my body for a couple of years because I litterally blacked out. He was able to take over and run my life, though it was difficult because I was physically sick, and it was painful to keep going. I couldn't do it, but he was able to. I only had a few moments of lucidity at a time for those years, and I would suddenly be aware, and the next thing I knew months had passed. Of course I just covered that up, and didn't let on anything was wrong. Years later, when I recovered, he finally explained to me what was going on.

We know our story isn't typical, but we feel a need for support at this time. I started loosing time again recently, and I know I am starting to have black outs again. Gary is worried. We hope you don't mind if we hang around for the company.

Mark here, giving you the intro to the Loftmates. Evie didn't feel like doing it - she's not having a very good day. (Good DAY? The girl's been having a bad MONTH! - April) We're seperate, but in the end, we're all Evie. (I never really thought about calling us a "we" until pretty recently... - Evie) So I guess we're all one person - not really multiple. Unless... Well, we saw something about gateways? Didn't get to look it up, yet.

We liked the description someone else gave of their situation - made sense. Everyone's mind is a house. Singles have one permanent resident, Multiples have more than one, and they were between - a way-house, as it were, people came in and stayed, sometimes for a day, a week, or long-term, but not really "permanent".

That's like us. (No, you think? - Fae) Most of us were, originally either characters for a story or THOUGHT to be characters for a story and thus used like such. But we're really not. We've moved in. Lots of characters don't actually move in. And there are sometimes different versions of us. It's a way-house, all of us but Evie are walk-ins. (But I've had walk-ins of some sort or another for as long as I can remember. - Evie) There's actually even a seperate group - the Pubbers, they live in a little pub called the Drown'd Duck. They used to talk to her a lot, when she didn't have any real life friends. They've pretty much quieted down, though. The pub's not really in Evie's head - it's just nearby, so they were always making visits. (Mark... when did I tell you all this? You are WAY too good at finding stuff out. - Evie)

Oh, yeah, and we like to interrupt each other - especially when writing or chatting - and tend to make comments on what anyone else is saying. (That's because it's FUN! - Evie&April)

Yes. So. It's definitely not multiple, but it's not single either. It's just... us. The Loftmates.

Hi My name is Shelby,

I live in the House of the Mosaics with Tiea who I guess some would say is the originalperson ( but we kinda all think were the original).

Tiea is terrified of demons and "walk ins" and On Oct9 ( the anniversery of her Moms death thought she was experiencing a walk in of her dead Mom . and she did her first post. the post turned out to be whacky cause she wrote like she was being chased .

Whenever somone in the community says they have a demon with them she runs and hides and starts making House call later to check if we are also .

Someone else in the community suggested she ask the community those that have demons what there experience of them in system is . Like Can they haunt you or posses you or cause you to do something you dont want to? Or put a curse on you . What do they do > Why are they called demons ?

Are they spooky goolish , or mean?

Ok the reason we ask is we had a rouph experience when Tiea shared she was plural with her Church ...That led to a huge meeting with all the elders and deacons and Bishop keeping us in the office for almost a day with at first them praying for us . Then its hard to talk about but they started pleaing The Blood Of Jesus over the body and trying to deliver us, asking us our names, and if we told them ,they would tell us to go to our Father satin and straight to Hell and leave Tieas Body .

After about 16 hours of this with them all speaking loud in tounges and laying hands on us all( touching us ) trying to knock us over telling us we were evil we all fraeked out and Tiea was exsahasted and scared and she left and one of the babies started wailing in fear and was on the ground in fear and none of us wanted to take the front except Toni who helps the babies and she got violent. They prayed louder and called a hospital which led to us spending 3 days in a locked ward trying to establish communication again and being thrown out of the Church .
Nobody could fellowship with us. We were considered evil . Because of the hospitalization Tiea lost her kids for Two Months .

Then the family finding out we were plural thought the kids should not live with us .

We all worked , payed taxes and took care of the kids fine but we really had to prove ourselves . If Tiea changed her mind or had a mood change they thought she was another alter. Like one of us I guess but we were zipping our mouths. Everyone also thought Tiea never knew what she was doing and they would try to say she did things, Like we did things and she did not know. This was not true at all. . Jade and I and Everyone always communicated fine till they tryed to deliver us. Well so Tiea is terrified of Demons and" walk ins" . But we have a Lion she loves . If anyone feels like sharing what there demon people are like we
would appriciate it .
Thanks a bunch, Shelby

Some questions, if I may:

1) I am confused as to the level of strong responses to my previous post containing the Hofstadter quote. Though I was expecting a lively discussion, there seemed to be a level of hostility or annoyance that I was not prepared for-- I may be mistaken, of course. In any case, was it the quote itself that aggravated people? Is quotes discouraged on this forum, or is only quotes directly pertaining to multiplicity alone allowed, and not quotes that may be indirectly related? Should I have stated my intentions concerning posting the quote in this community so as to have cleared up confusion before it began? Cata keeps claiming that we were being attacked somehow, but I find no firm, logical evidence of her assumption, and so would really like to get to the heart of the matter.

2) Though I have posted previously, albeit a while go, on the innerworkings of our system, it seems recent events and abilities within may have changed the appropriate identification of our processes-- at least for the purposes of such communities that require correct identification. We have always thought of ourselves as multiple/plural for two years, but the ability that's arisen where we integrate at will, and usually safely, to combine consciousness and skills, and then separate, may put us in the "median" category. I'd really like some feedback on the particular division with multiple and median.

3) My significant other, also a multiple, is stressed and alarmed that two of the entities within their system has walked out on them (let's call them the Elf-Star). A shaman-type woman claims that one of the entities that was once in the Elf-Star, which they just referred to as Phoenix, is now in her. Is that possible, that entities can walk out of one body and right into another?

Thanks for your patience.

((i realized, i never really said who i am! i'm Jen, but much prefer to be known as Ryk. i even had a couple teachers calling me in that in my short stint in college. hah! my boyfriend is Bry, and i tend to talk about him a whole lot. :/ even when he's being a jerk. but since i bring him up alot, may as well mention him too. the two in me who talk the most are Su [though she's more a mediator, for when anyone else in me goes out of bounds, i think], and one who changes her name a lot... i can't remember all of the names, but the one she used most was Angel. as an in joke, cuz she liked to pretend she was my guardian angel, out to save me. right... there's more, but they don't really talk to me/interact with the outside world [that i'm aware of!], so i don't know a whole lot about them))

after reading through some off the comm, i realized how very different i seem to be from everyone else.

for the majority here, everyone is 'us' and 'we'...

for me, it's 'i/me/whatever' and 'them' (there's two very vocal ones... one WAY more than the other... and a couple that i'm not sure what they do... aside from not talk to ~me~)

i'm pretty sure i can't be the ONLY one who feels like just a tool to be used at times (though i'm pretty sure that's not really the case, just a feeling..) but it'd still be nice for some reafirmation. :)

also... has anyone else had someone just show up for a day, and then take off? my boyfriend has told me of two like this... one who didn't talk, but cried a ton, and curled up in a corner of my room... and one that was some guy who was sarcastic, but not in a mean way like the girl who switches her name as she pleases.

i saw the thing about them DYING, but i don't think that's the case here. though i could be wrong. i'm not new to being a multi, just new to the idea of talking to others about it, who can actually UNDERSTAND. ^_^; so i might seem confused in how i talk, or explain things, compared to anyone else. for that i'm sorry.

sidenote : about the dear boyfriend... i'm still not sure what to do with him. however, the girl who changes her name seems to be up to something, and it's kind of worrying me... :/ she can be like an older sister... either trying to protect me, or being a bitch, trying to take things from me ~_~;

We recently got an interesting visitor. A friend of mine who passed on, has come into our honeycomb, and is thinking she'd like to stay.

Has anyone ever experienced this? or something like it?

I'm not opposed(neither is anyone else that I know of)to her being here, or staying(especially since it seems she makes Liz happy), it's just...odd. to have someone I knew in the physical world, all of a sudden be a part of ours.

I may not be making sense, We haven't slept yet.

Well, I think this is my first official update in this community but I think most people are familiar with me. If not, I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm an outside walk-in to a system of several different people living inside one body/mind. I call myself an Angel of Death and believe myself to be over 700 years old [although I admit even I am skeptical to my own claims; I don't even take my own memories as absolute evidence of the truth of my claims e.g. I may be crazy :)].

That being said and all of this beingg taken into consideration, I find myself interested in the interactions between multiplicity(be it natural or disordered) and otherkinism(to coin a word).

It seems to me that there are many commonalities between the two phenomena and, while different in many ways, Kin seem to often share some traits with Multiples and vice versa. At the same time, the interactions and reactions between persons who consider themselves only to be one or the other are not always necessarily amiable. Some Kin think of Multiples as "crazies" and some Multiples seem to do the reverse; at very least there seems to be a good deal of skepticism as a subtext for their interactions with one another.

There also exist subtle differences in the language used between the two groups when it comes to terms and ideas that are at least superficially nearly identical.

Take the concept of a "walk-in", a term I use to describe myself to aid other people's understanding of me. Whereas Kin often use this term in a highly mystical and transendental fassion roughly similar to the old idea of someone either possesing or being possesed by a spirit(not necessarily evil although possesion certainly has that connotation culturally for many), Multiples tend to think of it as a common or a more internal experience where another person simply walks into the mind and takes up residence there.

Because of these observations, I am curious as to other people in both communities perspectives on each other and people's unique personal observations or general experiences with these ideas.

I find both groups of people and their interactions fascinating, largely of course because I consider myself both, and also because of the blurred line that marginally seperates people in both categories.

I look forward to the reactions and impressions of the people who respond, be they experienced in these interactions or completely uninformed of the paradigmatical juxtaposition these two groups usually fall into. Id est: Both the experienced and the newbie I'm sure will have interesting things to say.

I'm a newbie here. I guess you'll be learning things about me as I got along.

Basically, I started off with soulbonds and muses - my muses being the soulbonds whose stories I dared to tell. And for a time all was well. I'm not certain this is the right place for me but somebody in [livejournal.com profile] soulbonding recommended me here. There are 3 reasons i can think of for being maybe multiple as opposed to a straightforward soulbonder/muser:

Over the summer I Role Played with a muse of mine, Russet Ranaya. She and I became very close, and it got to the point where something happened to Russet (the actions of a fellow RPG-er on her) and I became aware that I could almost feel it as it happened. I squirmed about in fear and became upset when her kittens were killed.

Recently, Karisma broke through the net. Karisma is a wolf-girl... And things I already used to do, crazy things like howling at the moon... fitted with her. I'm starting to beleive she may have always been with me in some sense, and when I write for her, I am actually her.

And then the other day, I had a rather scary episode where I started wondering who I really was. And the more I thought about it, the more I realised I didn't know. Because I'm so changeable from one day to the next. Because sometimes I'm mouthy, sometimes I'm innocent. Because I can't defend myself. I don't know. But I'm a wanderer in search of a label, i think.
