Nature off the kin

[QueenOfTheShadows]

I should perhaps clarify.

those who know me well and speak to me on more personal terms more often know that I often have two minds about things in terms of both personality, belief(s), outlook and attitude.

To the point where Ive found a bit of comfort in the (as far as I know) anonymous quote "for every trivial truth there is an opposite that is false. for every profound truth there is an opposite which is also true"

talking or arguing with myself even to contradictory ends is not an uncommon behavior or mine. these arrangements even end in stalemates from time to time.

I see my "kin self" and "dream/vision self(s)" and the pthyscal self as being aspects or facets of me/my personality much the way I view what some would call my "inner child" these aspects/facets of my personality seem to wax and wane and vary one sometimes being far more "dominant" than another. I have been told from time to time these aspects can seem dramatically different.(I honestly cant always tell) However I do not see my kin self, or any of those shifts in personality exct... as being a personification of someone/thing other than me, myself, and I. In fact if dreams and the results of meditations are to be believed, along with occasional trips "elsewhere" I've had while listening to sermons at church are to be fit together cohesively with "phantom limb" type experiences... I am a shape changer who has at times shown a tendency towards [at least] several forms/aspects: one that is very dragon like, one that resembles a humanoid like shape(sometimes with other features), and a third which feels in some ways like a "front heavy" feline perhaps a saber-toothed like one. It would make some degree of sense then that personality and habits would shift somewhat with each.

all in all the feeling of there being two (or more)of me is not abnormal for me at all.

though in the visions the talking to the kin self is less talking and arguing with it/me than it is my here and now self/attitudes/outlooks drawing judgments, conclusions, expressing opinions and generally being a peanut gallery, as I go through the experience including mental and emotional states exct of the kin/past self.

On this note I do not believe it is fully reasonable to differentiates completely between the physical self and the spiritual self, or aspects of one's personality ie: "inner child" kinself" the "shadow self"/"inner demon(s)", the "spiritual body" and the physical. they are all important parts of the whole. But that doesn't mean you cant try to "tune in" to what one or the other has to say.
