Another consciousness within

QUESTION: Masters, I have a friend who has created a separate consciousness within himself stemming from his very soul. He struggles daily to find Harmony. How is this possible? Can he separate from her? How can they rejoin as one? Is she a guide? ~Jeane, United States

ANSWER: Your friend suffers from multiple personality disorder as far as the professional psychiatric community is concerned. As a spiritual malady, he is dealing with pieces of his soul consciousness that have broken off from his major identity in this lifetime. The separation occurred as the result of difficult life lessons by which he was overwhelmed, causing him to split off sections of his conscious memories so as not to have to deal with them.

As he has completed the majority of the additional life lessons he chose for this lifetime, his higher self (soul) has allowed these “hidden” sections to become vocal so that he would become aware of them and see what he could do to understand them and banish (reconnect with) them for all time.

Just like the other lessons, which were apparent from the fears and doubts they projected, this soul fragmentation has made itself known by penetrating into his consciousness. To finish this lesson he must revisit, and learn to understand, what created the rift in the first place.

Working with a spiritually orientated hypnotherapist would be the easiest, and possibly fastest, way to resolve this issue. On his own, he could use self-hypnosis or deep meditation to reach a place where he could dialogue with these pieces of his soul. The purpose is to find why he resists integration and achieve an understanding of the wayward lesson that created this state.

She is not a separate soul but a piece of his own. With work, she may rejoin the whole and move forward as a single entity. She is not a guide. Guides are souls who are each unique with their own experiences, which have nothing to do with your friend.

This integration is one of the lessons he sought. He need only identify the cause for the split, deal with the energies that are triggering the continuation of the division, and choose to be whole.
