My Cat, Myself......lessons of many lives
Posted 01-04-2017 at 11:08 AM by TamaraSavannah
A friend of mine is complaining about terrible nightmares she is having. She is much more an actress who does parts than I am, but I have to wonder if she drops into character, activates alternate personalities as much as I do. Nightmares are rare for me and more than that, I am often not myself in my dreams.
Whether I am someone else entirely in my dreams (sometimes), or I have transformed into them (rarely), or I am using a glamor spell (often), I can probably put it down to that I activate other personalities so often. Cowgirl was activated just yesterday and will probably be on line as soon as I push away from the computer. I activated Imp (not the actual name) for two minutes on Monday night. Stewart (again, not the actual name), at least in the brief activation (totally activation takes about 45 minutes of meditation), I was bringing on line almost daily last month.
Of course, the personalities are not entirely separate, I, Tamara, am always in control, even in intense acting. For such a role, I have feedbacks that tell me I am who I am playing and I have to do intense meditation to lock it in. While I am playing that part, it's like my personality is moved aside, the part personality is active, and my knowledge, my memories, are a data base that the part personality can pull on. I have only done it once on stage and then only for an hour, but while in part, it was taking a lot of concentration to maintain it from the real me that wanted to re-enter and take charge.
No, the alternate personalities are more of seeing the world through a different set of eyes and not letting my concerns get in the way.
But to the outsider, I can see that question of, "Do you think that is really healthy for a grown woman? Are you ever really just yourself?". As far as ever really being just myself, I think I always am since I'm a Renaissance Lady. So many known disciplines, so many degrees, I have a wide range to express myself by. In a world where so very many are specialists, of so few avenues, it is perhaps easy to get caught up of how might be seen as sinking into something unhealthy.
As far as the grown woman angle goes, there is a saying, "The Fae: this is what happens when you find out that growing up sucks!".
We can't play all the time as adults, but perhaps we can find ways to make work more playful.
