I've always known I've been a system, but I don't understand many terms such as "blurring" and the different type of alters, can you explain them please?

[multiplicitymemes]

For the recent anon who’s wondering about terminology :)

It's okay to feel angry and bitter, so long as you don't get stuck. But then, that's the tricky part isn't it? Like Dancing on the edge of a blade, on one side is feeling it too much and on the other is feeling nothing at all.

Excerpt from "Transparency"

“I do not believe that the end of the world will come upon us in a fury of violence. It will not strike upon us in a sudden explosion of warfare between equally despised nations; coming rushing forth in the fallout of man against man. Meteors will not pierce the atmosphere as apocalyptic bullets raining down from above, laying unavoidable and irreparable damage to our landscape. Nor will a fusion of rapidly strengthening natural disasters meld together in a final destructive force, seeking out our demise in retribution for the Earth finally falling tired of humanity’s apparent indifference to her well-being.

I believe the end will come as a slow trickle. A tumble of dominoes in slow motion perhaps. Or maybe more like a crack in a dam, so small and insignificant that it has the potential to go unnoticed until the dam finally fails. From the start of that crack, as the pebble breaks free to fall from its form, as water slowly tears down an otherwise unblemished surface, we will be given a second chance. That the soul of the Earth, or perhaps even the soul of the Universe itself, will beg us to notice our failings and to amend them before the turning of the tide toward utter decline. And although the trickle may be small, a chosen few may still feel its flow and recognize the unraveling. And, in so doing, they may be given the chance to change the flow.

I do not believe the end of the world will be a burst of death followed by a cessation of life - as a chalkboard being wiped clean of humanity’s existence. It will be the opposite - a slow and steady decline toward darkness. A darkness that takes hold slowly untoward the last flicker of light running out, the last breath expelled from the final survivor. Only then to admit our final defeat - ‘This is the end, truly the end’. And yet, in the gradual dimming of the light, may we be given the chance to turn our demise on its head, in favour of what the Universe, upon our initial creation truly meant us to be.

I truly believe that as the end truly comes close, it will not be fought on the battlefields of bloodshed, but in the depths of our soul. It will be between two factions: those who cling to the past and fear to stray from the path - and in so doing, find no merit in our future; and those who, although fearing the change, bravely pursue it as the second chance we are being offered. The bitter end will come as a slow and desperate battle between who we are, and who we were always meant to be.”

How id describe collective memory versus non-collective memory

Collective memory would be like, a whole family using a single computer, but everything is stored on one hard drive that everyone uses. One person could look at an image saved available to them, but have no connection to it since they're not the one who saved the image.

Sometimes someone may use the computer after not using it in forever and get flooded with all the saved documents, images, etc and get overwhelmed at how much new stuff there is, but soaks it all in

Now, when you don't have collective memory it's a lot like everyone using the same computer but with password protected hard drives or computer profiles every individual person uses. Some people may know a few of the individual passwords to the individual storages, while one or more could manage everyone's passwords and move/change files when needed (memory gatekeeper)

Most of the people won't know what is saved on another person's account/hard drive unless something is shared with them or forwarded to them

I like computer analogies :P
