I respect all my Me's

Posted on Mar 17th, 2007 by Leendert : Illuminator ES Leendert
All the personalities in me (all of them), all the Me's in me, are an essential part of who I am. It took me a while before I  got acquainted with every one of them. Some of them I didn't really like! Of course 1th I thought I was becoming crazy in the head. Maybe I was at the time? Anyway it took me 32 years (almost 5 years ago) before I realised this. In the mean time I got to know them, learn to respect them, discovered them in depth and started to like them all, all in their own way. By doing that I started to develop a certain balance instead of identifying with One of my polarities.

Emphatic abilities
are very important if I want to Change the World! (one of my primary Goals)   If I do not understand the other, I will never understand my-selves! Look I can CHANGE this around: If I do not understand my-selves, How can I understand anyone ELSE! It is simple. So ideally I spend 5 years examining all my known Me's and got friends with all of them in Some way (not all-ways!). This enlarged my emphatic capabilities  with a quantum leap I couldn't imagine! Now I train myself to choose the moments in letting the right Me "pop up" at the right moment so I can Illuminate all that I can see! (one of my primary Goals)

Today I have learned to Respect all my Me's and appreciate them more and more while examining them from time to time.

Thanks Leendert - this posting makes a lot of sense to me or rather - all of my me’s. An exercise I do from time to time when my parts (or selves) are in conflict is to let them work out thier grievances through writing - it winds up looking a bit like a screenplay as each part is named. When I see the unfolding dialoge come alive in print I am better able to resolve the issues at hand. It’s amazing what I’ve learned in the process and how the honor for my many selves has deepened.

I’m inspired by your ability to let your right Me “pop up” at the right moments for it shows a deep respect and care for the other. Nice :)

Peace.

I think if anyone ever read my journals they would be convinced I had multiple personality disorder!

Most of my journaling is spent gestalt-ing/dialoguing with the various aspects of my personality.  It usually starts with me talking to my inner child, and then spreads from there in regards to what/who-ever is present.

Besides all of the shadow parts of me (or should I say the parts that were previously tucked away in the shadows and are now my friends), I also love to dialogue with the part of me that is connected to Spirit.  Lots of wisdom and insight!

Thanks for another great blog, Leender!  Lots of love - Nancy

Thank you Melis, Nancy, I acknowledge what you are saying, I am sure this search for the many Me's, is a starting point, in becoming One.
