Core or No Core?

by Laura and Allegra

[In response to a forum post.]

We've always believed that we have no core (and no host), because neither concept fits in with our own concept of being multiple.

Additionally, some of us have uncovered emotional memories from in utero. When combined with contemporary psychology's assertion that children are born with a fragmented sense of self that doesn't fully gel until the age of reason (about age 7), it stands to reason that our prenatal trauma could have caused us to be born as many, rather than simply as an "ungelled" singleton.

All the reason more not to accept the existence of a core or an original as a given.

Your Mileage May Vary (tm).
