And an observer that only contemplates. That's how it is for me anyway. I like to consider the one that is noble, and selfless as my true self, but really it is just a majority, and only that by sheer will and guidance from recognition that there are three. Probably makes no sense but I'm ducking nuts remember.
This is perhaps your most sane contribution on these forums. Two or three 'sides' to everyone? Shit, whatever number you settle on I'll hang an exponent on it.
The problem I have with the way you describe it is the notion that this number equates to multiple 'selves'. Instead of wrestling and reconciling with the complexity of being a human, you have turned it into a cage match between different 'selves'. I would love to continue the conversation thinking that by 'the other self' you are being metaphorical, but your previous posts suggest you take this literally because of the idea of the Christian trinity.
