> Yes, when I remember myself as a kid/child it feels like it was me. The connection is there that this was you and the feelings you had at the time are still connected in mind as being part of your own feelings.
*I don't remember feelings...
It's just me at a younger age and with a younger mind. Even when I imagined separate children in me, I knew in my mind that it was still me, just different emotional faces of myself. Look in the mirror - you are not the child that you imagine in your mind.
*I don't generally have pictures in my mind of what the kids look like, but I have had them at times. Each inside kid seems to have their own emotions, not just one. I really never thot much of being a kid. Its like I just kinda...arrived. Its hard to explain.
The emotions though seem to belong someone separate in your mind. But it's all you even if you can't make the connections. You are one person with a lot of emotions even if you don't feel them or process them as your own or as not belonging to you. It's all one organism - you and so same with the memories, it's all you just at different ages and with different and still not completely developed feelings and understandings in mind.
*This I understand on a THEORETICAL level, I have a part thats very logical, but then it just keeps smacking me in the face now and again.....that I am NOT just one :-(
Its SO hard to describe...I am still trying to understand this myself, hence the many questions.
So thanks for your reply, it all helps.
Nice to see you on babble, you seem a nice person.
