Text: Imagination and Multiple Personality and Autism Q: I want to thank you because this week's been much better regarding my fears. B: Oh, thank you! Q: But there's a question I have about -- you knowŠ B: One moment, please. Will you do me a favor? Q: I don't want to stand up. B: No, no, no. You do not have to stand up. Realize even if I ask you to stand up, you do not have to stand up. Q: Okay. B: However, this is a very small favor. It consists of three little letters, one tiny word in your language. Q: Yes? B: I have such-and-such, as you say, with my fears. Not "but"... "and." Q: Oh, okay. I gotcha. B: Thank you. Q: Okay. So "and." B: Yes. Q: I'd like to knowŠ you know, like my imagination goes wild sometimes. Like I had fears, and I'd see all kinds -- maybe an army coming into my house and killing me in all kinds of ways. B: Yes. All kinds of ways! Killing you with kindness, perhaps. Q: Oh no! I never saw that. B: Oh, why not? 'Tis an expression you have upon your planet. All right; proceed. Q: Okay. You know, you have those pictures in your imagination. You have imagination and you have pictures. B: Yes. Q: And also when you have feelings about something, you have pictures to it. B: Yes. Sometimes. Q: You feel something. B: Sometimes. Q: Regarding my fearsŠ you know, the department of fearsŠ B: Department of fears! Oh, all right. Very good. Q: I'd like to know an exercise or something that could help me to see the difference between feeling something's going to happen really, or if I'm just letting my imagination go overŠ B: All right. Now do you remember, or have you allowed us to suggest to you the idea that we call the library analogy? Q: l know the word, but I don't (-- --?). B: All right. Simply this: all of the ideas, all of the pictures that you contain in your imagination are like a library full of books. Q: Uh huh. B: You may always go into that library; you may sit there as long as you wish. You may read every book, good and bad, as you say, positive and negative, joyful and fearful, that exists within that library. You do not have to check them out -- until you choose to. You may simply know that everything you experience within your pictorial imagination is because you are willing on some level to experience that idea. Just because you are picturing it in your imagination does not mean you are saying that that is something you want to enact in your physical reality. The two are not necessarily connected. Q: Ah! That's great. B: One does not necessarily forego the other. You can simply know that you are in your library reading all these fascinating books, positive and negative. And when you leave your library, what will be your physical reality will be the books you choose consciously to check out with you. Q: Ah, that's great. B: Thank you. Q: If one does experience something in one's imagination, would the conscious knowledge that one has lived out whatever was in one's imagination -- would knowing thatŠ? B: Alleviate the idea of needing to experience it physically? Q: Yes. B: Sometimes, yes. Q: Okay. Good. I have another question. I was watching KCET the other night, and they had a program on multiple personalities. One fellow there I think had 53 different personalities. B: Oh, very creative! Q: Yes. And the manifestation in each -- most of the personalities do not know of the other personalities. Some of the personalitiesŠ B: So they would like you to believe. Q: Right. Well, the conscious manifestationŠ B: Yes-yes-yes; we understand. Q: ... because the need of the scientists exploring this is that possibly it's multiple beings in the body -- which I think is not the case. Would you care to comment on what is actually occurring with this person? B: Much in the same way for the most part that many of your psychologists think is happening. They are suppressing portions of themselves, and that is the creative way they can allow them to rise to the surface and be equally valid to every other portion. It is then their opportunity, their methodology, to believe that they need outside help as you say -- the psychologists. To allow them to integrate all these portions of their personality into one functional being. Q: Okay. Well, we all have portions of ourselves, you know, various portions of ourselves that some of us separate more than others. But some of us are aware of these different portions without having to feel that they are distinct separate beings. B: Simply recognize that what they have not learned in this physical life is the method of communication between those separate portions. Q: Oh, I see. Not unlike the frequent inabilities, conceived inabilities of ourselves to communicate between our outer aware consciousness, our sub consciousness and unconsciousness. B: Yes. And you may also understand the idea of multiple personality in this way: it is inwardly directed autism. Q: Okay. B: You follow me? Q: Yes. Why don't you explicate it, though? (What's autism?) B: An autistic individualŠ Q: Oh, I know, yes. B: Š is incommunicative to your outside world, but very communicative to its inside world. A multiple personality individual is not communicative to its inside world, but very communicative to its outside world. Multiple personality is almost directly opposite the idea you call autism. Q: Hmm, what a neat idea. Very creative. B: Yes. See all the multitudinous ways you have of exploring separation of self! Very creative. We learn a lot from you. Q2: I would like to ask you about my new baby niece. Her name is Whitney, and she's my sister's child. My sister contracted something called Toxo-plasmosic(?) during her pregnancy. The baby was born very early and very small, and there's the chance that she may have brain damage. And they won't be able to tell from outside signs for a while. Do you have any commentŠ? B: Lots and lots and lots of touching. Lots of loving; lots of touching. Lots of mental communication; lots of reinforcement. Lots of mental imagery of the child being able to communicate in whatever way it needs to. In whatever way it needs to! Not how they think it should. Understand that many of these opportunities are opportunities for your society to explore new ways of communication. This is a service being done by this child. You follow me? Q: Yes. B: Your acceptance and allowance of this service to be done will allow the parents to communicate with the child fully, and the child fully with the parents and the society. This is the lesson being taught by the child. Q: What you're saying would indicate to me that she probably does have damage. B: Only in a sense. Let us say potentially. Potentially in the sense that if the message is not received, then understand that what this is a reflection of is: the individuals not willing to receive the message -- their own limitation -- not the child's limitation. Q: I was doing some past-life exploration a few months ago, and the most emotionally painful remembrance I had was a life as an American Indian. I was a man, and my wife and child were killed when white men destroyed our village and I found them. It was burned down. And I recognized that my wife had been the person who is now my sister. And a couple of days ago after I met the new baby, I woke up with the realization that the child from that life was this child Whitney. B: All right. Q: Do you have a feeling of that? Do you think that thereŠ? B: Only that the symbol being offered now by the child, who understands -- in having waited until you were both physically born and into your later years before being born itself -- will be that it comes into your world with a greater innocence, a less limited understanding of exactly what the, quote/unquote, created problem, was in that time: lack of communication between two different worlds. You follow me? Q: Mhmm. B: Lack of understanding. Understand the child; that is all that is necessary. Under stand. Stand under. Support the child. Support the idea that the child is expressing, and all the messages will be crystal clear. Q: Thank you. B: Thank you! Thank the child. Thank the parents for us. Q: Thank you.
