Subpersonality..The average person has about a dozen subpersonalities

[almaty 19]

subpersonality is, in transpersonal psychology, a personality mode that kicks in to allow a person to cope with certain types of psychosocial situations. Similar to a complex, the mode may include thoughts, feelings, actions, physiology, and other elements of human behavior to self-present a particular mode that works to negate particular psychosocial situations. A subpersonality is viewed as a horizontal phenomenon that may or may not be present in any vertically orientated stage of life, much like types of orientation that might be assessed by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Enneagram of Personality. The average person has about a dozen subpersonalities.

A subpersonality is distinguished from a psychotic multiple personality (who has no integrating ego) in that a subpersonality is able to organize their personalities, meet their needs, and ultimately utilize their personalities to the advantage of the total self. Subpersonalities are able to perceive consciousness as something separate from themselves, as well as domestic image attached to these elements. For example, if a harsh critic responds with judgmental thoughts, anger, superior feelings, critical words, punitive action, and/or tense physiology when confronted with her own and/or others' fallibility, that is the subpersonality of the harsh critic kicking in to cope with the confrontation situation. American transpersonal psychologist Ken Wilber identifies subpersonality as "functional self-presentations that navigate particular psychosocial situations."

All I know is that I sure would like to have an online meter measuring some VJer responses in blood pressure, adrenal response, and CSF serotonin release under certain conditions that border the irrational and ludicrous.

I have an invisible inner playmate, yet floss my brain once a week and am prepared for any benevolent form of shock - therapy that will deliver me from all of my desires for non- existant pleasures. Do I qualify for the subpersonalities thing ?

So avoid organic foods to avoid a schizoid episode?
