Fun Fact: Multiple personality disorder is not the same as schizophrenia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia

vs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_personality_disorder

While the operation of the normal personality might share attributes with MPD, the differences between them are so numerous and important that I think it is a mistake to equate the two.

It's great that you notice that the human personality is dynamic and can be seen as a play of forces and that these forces can be negotiated with and utilized for rapport and influence. I've done so myself, so has anyone (intuitively, at least) who has used persuasion with an ambivalent person. But that does not mean that everyone has MPD, and it certainly doesn't mean that everyone is schizophrenic.

It's kinda like saying that everyone, to an extent, has chicken pox, because it can be argued that the average person shares a number of traits, arguably, with someone with chicken pox.

Thanks for the info babyada.

Actually, I'm just parotting something which Paul Scheele shared in the Abundance for Life seminar. Having studied the mind professionally, he came to the conclusion that we're all integrated schizophrenics. He had the participants do a remarkable demo with more than a dozen volunteers all going up to the stage, each representing different facets of our personality, and the challenge of effectively communicating with the "right" one.

Anyway, I'm not a clinical psychologist, so I'm sure you're absolutely correct in regards to definitions, but perhaps you can take this issue up with Paul directly, if you really want to understand what point he was making.

Thanks again, and best to you.

Gee I thought we had something interesting going here and then it migrates into "it's a TomAto not a Tomato" sort of thing.

Cosmicbrat maybe you could jump back in and stoke the fires again.

If you are having problems with Remote Viewers, you have to remember that the successful ones must suspend their belief systems to really do what they do.

You, as well ,seem to be holding onto your belief system so tightly that it causes you more pain than benefit.

Maybe one of those Zen things of "Just let go" might help. You will be no less than you really are.

You cannot change the weather but you can change you attitude towards it, then you might be able to change the weather.

My input on religion, without reading any posts here (not enough time)

I view religion as a place and belief to hide away from the "truth" the one and only truth which is in spiritual concepts PURE LOVE. We have lost our touch with our true selves. We need to reconnect within unleash you. It is important because humanity at this time is going through tremendous change one being increased spiritual awarness now we must convince them to practise and teach them pure love and get rid of religion and Faith and any belief system.

Any types of religion such as Christianity, Hindouism, Paganism must perish if humanity is to unite ance create a new beautiful world that we've been polluting and destroying since we've existed.

Its the inevetible folks, those who do not cooperate will perish and those who do and find it within and enligthen themselves to the purest level of love possible will then be able to transcend into this new world.

JMO.

I like what you say and feel the same way although I felt uncomfortable when you started speaking about "the truth, the one and only truth which is......" Sorry but I am always sceptical of these kind of statements.
