The boy nobody loved - Chapter 2

-

Then came life 



He begun spending more and more time in this new place.  He still liked to travel amongst the stars.  He would go there whenever he could.  But as he was becoming more and more human, this became more difficult.

As he was getting used to this new way of life, he started feeling things around him.  He had parts he could move.  He wasn’t sure how he could, or what they looked like.  He couldn’t see them.  But he felt them.

In the same way he could feel blood coursing through his body.  He didn’t know what it was.  He felt something running through him.  This could taste differently at different times.  Weird!

Also, he could feel something thumping inside of him.  His heart beating.  He didn’t know it was his heart, but he soon learnt that it worked in many different strange ways.

Eventually, he could hear things too.  Muffled sounds.  He didn’t know what they were.

This was the beginning of a new awakening.  Stepping from a dream into a nightmare he started becoming aware of what was happening around him.

First, he started feeling being bumped.  Pressure on different parts of his body.  Sometimes it was very uncomfortable.  Painful even.  That was his first memorable experience.  Pain.

This was usually accompanied by loud noises.  As he later learnt, these noises were bangs, and people screaming.  Four different voices.  He didn’t know that at the time.  All he could hear were sounds.  Unpleasant.  Some screeching.  It was painful to the ears as well as emotionally very charged.

The stuff speeding through the little tubes in his body, his blood, also was bitter and sour.  He didn’t know that.  It just felt wrong.

When all of this was happening, he noticed that the thumping of his heart was so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of him.  And loud.  Deafening.

And this is how he experienced his first feeling.  Fear.  A feeling that he would become accustomed to over the next few years. 

Fortunately, he was still able to float in space when these things were not happening.  And that gave him comfort.

ID 101 - 4: The voices

Image
We all have, at least, a little voice in our heads. While I was entangled in a mainstream reality, I interpreted these simply as the typical good voice / bad voice and attributed it to what everybody calls a conscience. As my spiritual awareness developed, these became more nuanced. Once we are introduced to concepts such as that of a Higher Self, an Eternal Soul, Spirit Guides, Spirit Teachers, and Spirits and Ancestors, the ideas of voices in the head becomes worthy of much more attention. Voices are not necessarily “voices”. They can be images, visions, sounds, feelings, “sensing”, smells, or almost anything at all. It is easy to see how easy it would be to misinterpret anything that comes out of our head/mind … a dream is not necessarily a premonition. It could be an expression of what happened to us, of our brain processing certain information. Similarly, a voice, can be created by our imagination. And everything we feel, hear, see, and whatnot is interpreted by the limited unders

Quora - July 16, 2023: Complex systems

Can someone with a polyfragmented system help explain it a bit more? We've looked it up, and usually the top results say polyfragmented systems are defined by a high alter count. Is this true, or is there more that goes into it? (We will be doing more research!) TW: Mention different types of abuse Ok, this is our theory of how complex systems work. This is based from talking to others as well as our own personal experience. Let’s start with the diagram. At the top level we have brain inputs/outputs. Below that we have conscious/unconscious, etc. Structural Dissociation creates an additional layer of consciousness that enables the separation between body (physical) consciousness, and other levels of consciousness. Then, we consider trauma that starts too early for any sensible degree of integration between action systems (see Theory of Structural Dissociation, a few references are available here: References ) This means that early on, instead of developing a single personality, a c

Multiplicity and Neurodivergence

This blog is more for me than it is intended to have an audience. It is my way to express myself. 🤓 I don't care if you don't, but I would love it if you did like it 😁 Here is a summary of how our host feels sometimes: The host I am! Different versions of me materialize through me They become me, or I them, which is uncertain. Sometimes there’s many, ebbing and flowing sometimes there’s one,  just being. I am! When they are there and when they are not, I am When they are there, I am them. When they are not ... who am I? Am I? To help you navigate through the website, here are some tags: Identity 101 is a diary/analysis that System 5 (2002-2022) wrote when he was becoming aware of our multiplicity. Prior to this, he was not unaware of it - it just was "normal" to him, so he never thought it needed analysing. However, at a point he recognised that his "complex" personality had little secrets in store for him. Here is his chronicle of his jo

Quora - July 26, 2023: Non-traumagenic systems

 I am just going to talk hypothetically for fun, but can find some more detailed references here if needed  . So, Can someone develop DID without having gone through any specific trauma? I guess that depends on what your definition of DID/Dissociated identity is, and how you believe it is created as a disorder. From that it is possible to then derive whether there would non-traumagenic experiences comparable to traumagenic ones that could have created the dissociated selves. With the exception of PTSD, it is commonly accepted that all dissociative disorders originate early on during the developmental phases of human existence . It is also commonly believed that repeated trauma prevents the association of different action systems, and that we are born dissociated to start with . Internal Family System even asserts that everybody is in essence a multiple, although it is quick to call those sub-personality types, which is not quite the same as having different consciousness sharing the

Quora: May 1, 2023 - Working with Parts in IFS

What is your routine and structure for your parts work? Please share about the steps you take that have worked for you in connecting with your parts in a healing way. This is a very insightful question that we are grateful for as it enables us to focus our attention and analysis on a review of our current perspective, approach, and circumstances. It will be great to hear comments from others. Setting the scene Since we became aware of our multiplicity, we have changed our approach to parts work to reflect the improved understanding of their needs. Firstly, the host split twice. As our host has functioned as a gatekeeper amongst his many roles, that has meant that our whole "gatekeeping" has changed. The original host was mainly a business manager. And he used to manage life as a business. He was incredibly efficient, and our system run like clockwork. He was the one who discovered our multiplicity, analysed it, and came up with a plan on how to develop our system fairly and e
