This page is intended to be a way of posting various dissertations and observations upon the subject of Multiple Personalities, specifically our experiences, since to assume for others would be erroneous. It is impossible to display such arguements anywhere else without comprimising the security of the truth of our multiplicity, and so many theories have had to remain undeveloped.
Please forgive any indavertant presumptousness or pompusness.

Rebekka's Rant Page is also here.

Current Topics:

Something from Nothing. Done by Laric. A bit of an ongoing thought about origins, current existances, and possible roots of people. (7/10/01)

If We Could Do Everything. For some reason, Silence wanted to say something one day; it's a general statement to readers of the page about what we write on here. (7/10/01)

Soulbonder Misuse vs. a Very Irate Council Member. One of Reb's rants, noted here because of the semi-ongoing group discussion over it. (7/9/01)

Souls and Bonds and Ourselves. Done by Sammi and Katra, as one take about soulbonding and multiples. (7/9/01)

Generations. Done by Laric. A ramble about the internal generations in here and time and change. (7/3/01)

Multiplicity and Community. Done by Laric (Lexa: With his traditional lack of politeness too.) About how multiplicity might actually be--yes, natural, yes, useful--better to have as a member of society. (6/22/01)

Am I Real? Cogito ergo sum. Done by Laric. It was meant to be a discussion on ways we view ourselves personally, but turned into a declaration about the worth of having other ways of viewing things, self-image, and a defense for multiplicity. (6/22/01)

A Year's Testimony: Done by Rebekka and Alexandria, about where exactly we've been for a little while. (6/19/01)

No Apologies for Existing is a section we've just started where we're affirming that all of us, no matter how wicked or good, young or old, can exist without having to justify why we are here. (6/19/01)

Older Topics:

Stella had an old theory she was working on a while back (1999?) Either way, it's about the mechanics of multiplicity, especially in the structure of the mind and in the difference between fragments and those fuller... particularly dedicated not to a counting of a multiple through the number of people, but rather their relative strengths. Er, Stella tends towards rather ungentle terms and so on, so please, no one get offended. There are her views on it.

And immedietely, Stella had to field feedback from one person and explain it further. Here you go.

We knew a a few multiples, including ourselves, who had had depressing things happen to them because of society and the perception of multiples. Kyth thinks about this in a reflection, written many years ago.

Older Theories/Observations:

#1: Stable multiples' systems can be small (2-5 alters), but when they start to increase in size, they can do so exponentially. Like a pyramid, when one alter is added to the top, the entire lower structure must increase to keep the system balanced. This is due to the alters which exist within a stable structure to balance out others, such as a comforting alter for a very nervous one.
Or, as Cheshire has just added, "The more life there is within a system, the more niches there are for life.", from the book, Dune.
