underlying currents and the shared responsibility for what has happened. Tears, hugs, and a resolve to be more careful
in the future.
Forgiveness is most difficult where the injury is deliberate and no fault lies in the one injured - a true victim, an
innocent. And thus the perpetrator has savaged the injured for sport, for a power trip, or to simply gratify themselves at the expense of another. In these cases forgiveness is inappropriate, and is not the issue. In these cases the injured
should be concentrating not on forgiveness, but on defense, and after ending the assaults on changing the
circumstances that allowed the injury in the first place. Does your criminal justice system forgive the sadistic murderer and say to the victim - the problem is yours as you have not learned to forgive?

ZetaTalk: Multiple Personality
Note: written on Jul 15, 1996
The human mind has the capacity to deliberately forget, allowing the amnesia state to wash away bridges between
chemical memory lanes. This is but a step away from compartmentalizing memories into packages the human feels
capable of dealing with at one time.
Brain chemistry and brain structure wise, the process is the same. The average human can point to instances in himself
or others where selective forgetting occurred. One just forgets that embarrassing moment or that appointment to go to
the dentist. In amnesia the chemistry in the brain shuts down to the extent that the conscious brain is not recording new memories or playing back old memories. It's off-line, rather than on-line, as they say in the computer business.
Individuals recovering from coma move in and out of this state when first awakening. Selective amnesia attacks just
those bridges that lead to painful memories, washing these away. Here the conscious brain chemistry is not affected as
a whole but is altered at the site due to the strong emotions engendered. The chemical process, however, is the same
for selective amnesia, total amnesia, or multiple personality disorders.
Its not uncommon for humans to have what they call different sides, or to have what is called a Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde personality. This is the same mental technique that those suffering from multiple personality disorder employ.
Situations and the responses to those situations that are by their nature incompatible are compartmentalized. Take anger, for instance, a common facet of the personality to be suppressed. The little boy who is punished for expressing
anger represses this, but the boiling rage he feels at times expresses itself when he is out with the other boys, in
pranks. He may package other aspects of his personality into this persona too, so that he is not only reserving anger for these times, but being messy and slouching rather than standing straight, too. Rebellion time, a common situation in
adolescence.
Individuals who develop multiple personality disorders are raised in harsh and hostile social environments where
conflicts and duality are rampant. Children who observe hypocrisy in the adults around them soon pick up this duality,
but most often it is a conscious duality. One compliments someone to their face, but behind that individual's back
denigrates them, being two-faced as you say. In multiple personality disorder the need to be two-faced is extreme, and
is not just a nicety but a lifesaving tactic. If mother cannot abide discussing sex much less observing any expression of sexual heat, but father is molesting the children regularly barely outside of the mother's view, then extreme duality is
present. Perhaps things get broken at those times, in the tussle, but where mother ordinarily demands immaculate
neatness she has a remarkable tolerance for broken lamps and tossed pillows after a molestation episode - more
duality. The child trying to cope in this situation may thus package their messy persona in with their sexual persona.
In response to the duality their childhood presents, the human developing a multiple personality will compartmentalize
the various aspects of their personality. Anger, the sex drive, curiosity, aggression, greed, sloth, artistic expression, fear, compassion - those aspects of the persona that are compatible are packaged together, as they are let out to be free at the same time. For multiple personality disorder to develop, harsh duality is not only present in early life but is the situation throughout childhood and frequently into early adulthood. The compartmentalization encompasses their whole
early life, and forms the base for the later years. Thus cut into pieces, the sufferer finds they cannot cope with ordinary life. The socially proper persona may be on-line while the individual is standing in the checkout line when someone
nearby drops a jar, shattering the jar and splashing tomato sauce everywhere. The proper persona goes off-line, in
distress, and when the messy persona takes over those at the grocery store find themselves standing next to an entirely
different person!
Invariably, in multiple personality disorders, the individual is not able to cope. This permeates their life, evident in
social situations and employment alike. Ordinary living requires the many sides of an individual to be present at the

same time. A business meeting requires one to be calm and orderly to absorb the subject matter, but also to be
aggressive when presenting one's opinion, fearful of being rejected, and angry when rejection occurs. An individual
who has rigidly packaged their persona may find at least three different persona called out during such a meeting,
ineffectively handling this social situation and startling their co-workers. Thus, they get fired, become reclusive, and
often remain in the home where their personalities were warped in the first place - the victim yet again.

ZetaTalk: Dowsing
Note: written on Apr 15, 1997
The practice of dowsing, using divining rods to locate water, is so common as to not be doubted, but no one, including
the practitioner, understands how they work. Some humans can douse, but most cannot, so its recognized to be a talent
or ability within the practitioner. Dowsing works best when the dowser is allowed to walk about out in the fields and
forest by him or herself, uninterrupted. When crowds follow about, they are less likely to find water, and many
dowsers come unannounced at odd hours to assure themselves the privacy they require. Dowsers are called upon when
all else fails. Well after well has been dug, following the geologists recommendations on the lay of the land, location
of local springs, emergence of underground streams or rivers, stratification of rock layers, and success of other wells in the area. In despair, the dowser is brought in, and against all odds and against all reason they point to an unlikely place and chances are that a well placed there will be productive. What is going on during dowsing, and how does this
