d. WHERE DO THE PERSONALITIES GO WHEN NOT IN CONTROL?

 

I don’t know where we go, but go we do. (The 3 Faces of Eve see BOOKS, ARTICLES)

 

It seems to be different for different people.

• some personalities go to their internal world and stay there;

• some see themselves as living in a certain part of the person’s body;

• some may be in a form of sleep;

 

• and some may simply watch all that’s going on.

 

People often describe this as either being active in the background, listening or commenting, or else in a state resembling sleep. Sometimes personalities seem to disappear for long periods of time, perhaps months, or even years. On returning they may describe having been in a state of deep dissociation. They may be disoriented, expecting the surroundings and the time of year to be the same as it was when they were last out

When a part is out and starts to come back … noises sound muffled and your vision gets blurred; then you get sucked back. If I’m not active and concentrating on something, that’s when Holdon will pull me back. (Switching Time see BOOKS, ARTICLES)

 

 

While Eve White was conscious and in control, Eve Black, though functionally absent, preserved subliminal awareness. Often she would become bored with the conventional routines of the housewife and mother and would occupy herself with plans, reminiscences, and fancies of her own, paying little attention to the life to the other (The 3 Faces of Eve see BOOKS, ARTICLES)

“How do you spend your time?” “Inside, I float from one room to another, and in and out of hospitals. I don’t sleep.” (Switching Time see BOOKS, ARTICLES)

 

Some personalities never come out, never take control of the person’s body. They feel safer staying inside all the time.
