My wish for this place is that personal judgments of others, so-called stalks, and other idiocies are left at the door before one enters here.
I will always choose quality over quantity.
JJ wanted to say something, cool, he can express himself. But what he is saying can very well stand on its own, can't it? Why drag me into it as an imagined springboard to set off from? Is that what we want to have here? More judgment and bias?
Not to mention, where did he get the idea I am frightened or even not open to other expressions of myself? Is the point I am making in the above post about that? I would think my point is pretty clear and that is to not jump to identify something as a different personality just because one acts differently and has a lame EQ. Nowhere am I going into actual multiple personalities. I am talking about posers. Moreover, can I not be open to other expressions of myself without getting a multiple personality disorder?
If he actually did feel I am frightened and have a personal issue with this that can be to my disadvantage, then he can talk to me about that in a venue where it could actually be helpful. As me and him have a good line of communication open and do not mind working on issues. In that sense, his post here looks to me like posing, being insincere and inconsiderate. And, billy, if you like this part of what JJ is doing then I have nothing much to say to you either. I am hoping your comment on liking what JJ is doing is about him growing in different ways. Too bad you are not precise enough / you do not specify.
I go through threads and try to edit out personal bs thrown at others when I have time and energy for it ... and it just keeps piling up. I guess I am loosing hope, given the general mod just judges away. Hence my reaction is somewhat different than usual. People need to have more forbearance, awareness and integrity in dealing with others and themselves. I want more from myself and my environment.
JJ, I do not find limited ways of self-expression healthy. A sorcerer needs to expand their AP collection and not be rigid or limited. It is such common sense and something I have written about before (that you have read), so you writing to me sth like "Why do you find more limited methods of self-expression "healthier"?" cannot be seen from my side as anything else than wtf, who am I talking to again?
In terms of personality, we would have to define what it is to have 'a different' or 'split personality' - this is why I asked if you have seen the movie (because it seemed our definition differs). Is it an illness or not? When would it not be and when would it be, etc. In the typical way it is normally defined in a mental institution it is clearly not what a sorcerer should aim for (imo).
I accept the split as double and me as being a healthy and desirable one. One I find magical. And I accept the shifts I experience. I do not need different personalities in myself in my default usual life in the sense of the movie, it is pretty f-ed up imo, I would not consider it practical for what I want to achieve. But to each their own. And bringing fear into it is totally off the point.
