 Have you ever considered that what we identify with determines our experience of life?
What used to be called “Multiple personality disorder” has been renamed “Dissociative identity disorder”. It seems the human being can identify with all kinds of things. In the disorder, the mind chooses an identity to the exclusion of other parts of the personality. However, it is considered normal to identify with characteristics, with ideas, beliefs, etc. It is just in a smaller degree than the disorder. Psychological sites note that it is normal for people to change their personality traits in order to “identify with” people or groups of people they admire. A famous case mentioned frequently in medical literature cites a person with one personality who is deathly allergic to oranges, but when they switch personalities, oranges are the favorite food of the other personality. Another case showed that a drunk person instantly became sober when he changed personalities. Some people have had tumors appear and disappear as they change personalities. Another amazing feat of the mind is shown when a person reconciles their various personalities into one, he or she can make these physical changes at will. Maharishi Sadasiva Isham (MSI) said, “In the Waking State, we identify with our thoughts and do not experience consciousness as it is.” We get caught in the identifications and miss the most important experience of a lifetime! MSI said, “If we identify with the constantly rising and falling waves of the physical world, we will alternately enjoy and suffer.” Ascension retrains the mind. With the cumulative effects of the tools of Ascension, the more power we have to make choices. Each choice we make becomes more and more powerful. We can continue to look toward the manifest world of phenomena and identify with that. Or, we can bring the Ascension Attitudes more and more into our day to day lives to expand consciousness. A by-product of a higher state ofconsciousness is to identify with the Ascendant Self, the unbounded, unlimited One. With that as a priority in your life, what are the possibilities for your life?

This is a nice thought! Thanks for writing this, and in a loving, understanding tone. That doesn't happen often. I believe the same. I am diagnosed with DID, we started (well, some of us) to use "multiplicity" when we came to awareness that we=collective higher (whole) self. My ascension has been seriously strange. I have entered the dark night of the soul, I guess. In the months leading up to that, we switching constantly. Like- my boyfriend became concerned because I could rarely follow a conversation as I was switching multiple times during it. For the longest time, I was conscious- meaning my awareness stayed to some extent regardless of switching, at least I think so?! Anyway, right before we entered ascension, we each found love and understanding for each other and our 'system' as a whole. We were willing to "unify" but were totally against full integration. My system did some super strange things, especially my "dark one". She will remain nameless, but she didn't come out often, mostly working in the background. When she did take control, she scared whomever saw her! But, I had deep love, respect, and admiration for her. She came out regularly before the manifestation of our transformation began. Then, she kinda disappeared. That was our catalyst. We were constantly freaking out about an acceptable level of integration. I reassured my parts that I wouldn't do that. Yet, we were ALL painfully aware (except out little) that our level of separation meant, basically, taking a back seat in our own life. Then, one day, out of the blue- I experienced something unimaginable. There was a process (which is still taking place) but my parts apparently decide they would integrate. It was like light and love literally punched my abdomen from inside the body, and it was strangely beautiful dspite the pain. I'm honestly still getting over this; I was far from ready for it! ("I" -I suppose- is the awareness to some extent- which as you mentioned- changes. It IS pretty strange, and I was aware of these many states (much of the time). I never looked in the mirror before because it only made me aware of my confusion and disorder in my soul. Now, I can't help to study my eyes in the mirror (they do weird things). I know they are doing work I cannot even comprehend. SO.. I wait, and also beg for their return. My boyfriend says I look better than ever (even during a brutal purge phase) and yet, I feel incredibly lost, sometimes depressed, and utterly (currently) empty as I grieve my (outer) relationships with them. But, I also know that "we" will become our own hero in time.
