SOMEthing to THINK about

On alter-ego's; by Jian, tcm, SiTU

The technique to create one or several alter-ego's is born out of soltitude or imprisonment.

Tales are told about monks, magicians and witches, who were confined for life. They created mental alterego's to keep their development going. Meditation became a kind of role-play. Sometimes an alter-ego took over completely or intervened in critical situations.

So far, so good.

Problems arise when an alter (or arche-type, role-model, mind-frame) starts dominating a plural personality. In some cases this leads to possessment. An alter invites/allows every entity, that gives it power (knows his/her name). This can leed to (demonic) possessment. This personality leads to absurd forms of control (Jim Jones), obsession (the Higgs-boson), demonic worship (heavy metal) or vulgarity (child-abuse).

Go and analyze your alter-ego's. There are many role-models in religion, art, music or science.

You can use gender, the Trimurti or Shakespeare to find out.

Do they take an equal place or are they absent.

We follow the road through harmony and balance. Use and train your alter-ego's carefully. Let me show you the way.
