More About D.I.D.
For those of you in unfamiliar territory, the condition that I have is called Dissociative Identity Disorder. It exists when aspects of a person's personality are split and can function independently of one another. It is most often the result of severe, prolonged and/or early childhood abuse, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Dissociated parts, or alters keep awareness of horrific experiences out of consciousness, so that the child can retain a portion of self to grow and function in the outside world.
One of the greatest obstacles we face as multiples is counteracting the sensationalized conception of the condition created by the media. In most cases, DID is an internal experience of fragmentation and discontinuity of memory and ability. Sensitive eyes may note subtle changes in behavior, but most switching is seamless and undetectable. Another common misconception is that alters are complete and disparate personalities. Usually, they are only fragments, or specific pieces of the whole. They may function separately or in teams. More information about DID can be found through the links I've provided.
Cults and
Trauma-Based
Mind Control
Cult activity has existed throughout human history. Most cults or cult leaders use some form of mind manipulation to control their members. Some intergenerational pedophilia-based cults perfected the art of manipulating dissociative reactions among their members, especially children. They learned how to create specific alters to perform specific tasks within the cult. They also learned how to impede or squelch other alters that might resist control on behalf of the host personality. Once trained, cult aligned alters may perform duties and remain loyal to the cult for years, all without the general knowledge of the host personality. In part, this explains how many of these cults continue to exist undetected within larger society.
Many Cults also profit from their activities. They run child prostitution or pornography rings, and provide victims and material to pedophiles in positions of power. Although there are convictions for ritualistic murders and abuse every year, these cults remain an unseen and terribly corrupting influence on society in general. Without the bright light of public awareness, they will continue to inflict harm on new generations of children. There is an effort to have Ritual Abuse-Torture (RAT) officially recognized by the United Nations as a form of non-political torture. To find out more, contact Persons Against Ritual Abuse-Torture.

Trauma-Based Mind Control
During the Cold War, various intelligence services began experimenting with drugs, interrogation, and behavior control techniques. Through a series of contacts with WWII era experimenters and cult-connected contractors, US operatives discovered the mechanism of dissociation. Using hypnosis, drugs, and various forms of trauma, they began to experiment with and create their own dissociated subjects. Many inductees were pulled from cult populations. Cult children made perfect subjects. They were often already traumatized and adept at dissociating. Their parents were compliant or easily coerced.
Caregivers estimate that since the programs began, thousands have been subjected to torture, experimentation and unwitting use in operations. Documents released during the MK-Ultra hearings in the 1970's show that related research was conducted through contractors and employees at over 80 institutions across the country. Survivors report being used by a variety of agencies, both public and private. It is apparent that by the time I was born (the early 1960's), a fairly complete program of trauma-based mind control had been synthesized and become operational. As far as we know, children are still being taken for these programs today. A few advocates and survivors have done extensive research to document the history of the programs, and the connections between cults and intelligence agencies. To read more about this, follow the links I've provided to the left, or go to the activism page for more extensive listings. For a few specifics about programming, view my journal drawings.
