I've checked out Kinhost.org and read as much as I could before getting so confused, it made my head hurt.
I'm really confused about this one thing. Are you the same individual that writes there about many spirits being in the same body as your theory on your multiplicity or am I confusing you (The Crisses) with another individual there?
What concerns me is that rather than describing true multiplicity, it reads like a description from either a religious radical or an existential trip down the fantasy/fiction section at a Borders Book store. Elves? DRAGONS? And laypersons that read it aren't going to think multiples are loons? I would and I'm a multiple myself. As disappointing as it may sound though... all of our alters are of the human species.
This isn't education, it's psychosis and although it might be very liberating for you individually and collectively to believe this stuff... it can be very damaging for the world of multiples who are desperate to function, be accepted and educate the masses so that understanding and support can be found. It's hard enough for common people to believe that MPD/DID is a legitimate diagnosis but try to pepper the phenomenon with elves, dragons, spirit-folk, and fairies and we can kiss support and understanding goodbye.
I, too may have some interesting or even strange theories or beliefs but I'll be damned if I'm going to cloud true knowledge and education about DID with my own personal flavor of existence.
If I weren't so sensitive to the potential of one's multiplicity, I would suggest that I were reading the ramblings of a schizophrenic. Are you SURE you are multiple and not schizophrenic? Though this question or even this entire post may strike you as offensive, I must be honest and say that I find the public "education" that your Wiki site publishes offensive. As a multiple who works very hard to trust any other singleton not to exploit or hurt me(us), I worry that information such as yours will be used as ammo for those with loose conscience.
I wish you well in everything you do in life and above all, peace but please be aware of the consequences of your words before you post them as educational rather than personal.
It's dangerous.
