3. Roles

"Every human being, regardless of their race, sex and age, is born with a gift-an essence, an unguarded heart that is pure, beautiful and connected with everything. However in a world riddled with conflict, this vulnerable

and open state is not sustainable. So to survive as well as to know for certain that we would be loved, over time we have each adapted our

behavior. And as we have adapted to different people, environments and situations, we have also developed other parts of ourselves, other different personalities.

For example. as children, we need our parents to survive, so we spawned a core set of personalities not only to shield us from our external environment but also to meet the conditions of our internal environment---our core human needs of Certainty, Variety, Significance, Love and Connection, Growth and Contribution. Each one of

these personalities possesses a distinct model of the world that is designed to protect us.

We all have multiple personalities. The idea that we are only one may meet our need for Certainty. However, the truth is that we have all created ways to handle the dynamic demands and complexities of our diverse life

experiences. We assume that when we meet someone, they are one·dimensional. We think to ourselves, "He is nice," or "She is sexy," and we label that person in one way. However, it's important to understand that there is always more to

a person than what you initially see. For example, a guy who is a jerk to one woman might be a total love to another. A woman who seems stiff or

unapproachable for one man may be completely open and vibrant to another. Sometimes, different people are able to access different parts of personalities more easily than others. And anytime two people meet, a new

world is created that never existed before. No two people create the same synergy. Multiple personalities are part of the magic and beauty of life.

By understanding and appreciating the diverse layers that make up both ourselves and the people around us, life becomes magnified, more fulfilling and much more enjoyable.

In contrast, when we are not united internally, we exert energy to repress parts of ourselves. And the more energy we use to suffocate our personalities, the more they will push back. Ultimately, the more energy we

expend in trying to keep these personalities down, the more we will drain our own life force, devour our health and destroy the relationships that we value the most."

Remember: the strongest force in the human psyche is the need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves.
