| Split personality disorder has been an enigma to | | | | some of the burden of distress by sharing the pain. |
| psychologists and doctors for at least 100 years. It is | | | | Another explanation, and this seems more likely... |
| strange enough that a person can split their | | | | could be that the mind is creating an untouched |
| personality into at least 2 distinct personas, with | | | | personality knowing that the original one has been |
| some even having 100 separate personalities, | | | | severely corrupted....much like when we partition a |
| changing between them at random. Each personality | | | | hard drive in case one part becomes corrupted, then |
| has their own uniqueness, name and other traits but | | | | we still have the other clean partition to work with. |
| none of the other personalities are aware of the | | | | And the reason each part knows nothing of the |
| others. | | | | other and its experiences, could be to protect it from |
| What is even more strange, and psychologists are | | | | the corruption and disorder of the abused part in |
| baffled by this, is the psychological and physiological | | | | order for that newly created part to function |
| changes that occur when a different personality | | | | properly. If the new part had any memory or |
| takes over. For instance....physical scars on the body | | | | knowledge of the abuse the other went through, it |
| disappear and re-appear in an instant with the | | | | too would become damaged. |
| dominance of different personalities. | | | | How do these dramatic physical changes happen? |
| Let's say for instance that someone has two | | | | If the mind and body are linked as closely as this |
| personalities...and for ease of understanding we'll | | | | suggests, then it would seem that the memory, |
| name them "John" and "Peter". If John is dominant | | | | experiences and beliefs of the person are linked to |
| and injures himself, and the wound then heals to a | | | | every cell in the body, so that when the person |
| scar....this would then become part of who he is. So | | | | changes personality all previous beliefs and so-on on |
| now when Peter takes over and becomes dominant | | | | are completely erased for the duration....therefore |
| the scar disappears...only to return when John takes | | | | changing the whole biology, molecular structure, cell |
| over again. | | | | structure and chemistry of the body according to the |
| The same thing happens to other ailments...allergies, | | | | new part. |
| diseases like diabetes, colour blindness, lazy eye, and | | | | So what does this all mean, and how can it help us.? |
| even eye colour, have all been observed to | | | | This is showing us how powerful the human mind is, |

| personality is dominant. Intelligence is also affected. If | | | | and physical are not permanent, but can be changed |
| John is fluent in French, peter would not be able to | | | | by the power of belief and thought. If we believe |

| become totally sober. | | | | we could see in our mind that the cancer has gone, |
| Spiritualists and alternative therapists have put | | | | and it would be done. Disease of every kind would |
| forward the notion that the body and mind are | | | | be a thing of the past. All we need is the unwavering |
| inextricably linked for a long time now, but | | | | belief of our inner power...and the seemingly strange |
| psychologists and doctors have been unwilling to see | | | | things that occur with people with multiple |
