Multiple personalities. . . How do they fit with a Soul?

[Woodsman]

I'm slowly working through the recommended reading list. --I'm currently engrossed in Martha Stout's "The Myth of Sanity" and a question occurred to me which I don't think has crossed my mind before.

Let's say a souled individual suffers childhood trauma and a resulting personality splitting, so that multiple personalities exist within that person. Where does the soul reside? --Is it split between each personality? Does it sit in the background and connect with each one, as though receiving a shaft of light through a fractured pane of glass, with each fractured piece casting light in a slightly different manner? I'm not exactly certain how to frame this question in a more precise manner. . .

What are people's thoughts on this subject?

Thank-you.

Hi Woodsman, you might find this thread interesting - in this session, the C's were asked about MPD (DID) http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=9609.msg69589#msg69589

Yes, my question was largely answered within the first roll of the scroll wheel. --The funny thing is that I remember reading that whole transcript a couple of times already. I guess this is an object lesson in why it is important to review things many times. I find it intriguing that my focus of interest at any given moment tends to dull out other details. Information, even in a simple text format is a very complex thing; multi-layered and almost interactive in a way with the receiver. (Or perhaps it is better to say that my awareness is a very simple thing which is easily overwhelmed even by a text passage.) --Anticipation appears to play a role. My first couple of times through I vaguely recall the MPD information, but I was focused almost entirely on the whole, "Passed the point when anything could possibly be done to change the outcome" comment wrt the U.S. --That and the note about nukes.

Anyway, thanks for the pointer. I'll read through the entire thread now to see how my current subject of particular interest evolves.

Cheers!
