Thank you for posting. Co-consciousness is when we can listen and be a part of what is taking place. To be able to let those within come forth but to be there with them. It takes time for each one to trust just as we have to learn to trust. Sometimes it takes longer for the ones that hold things that are deep within to keep us safe until we are ready to hear those things.

Within our system, we have one who knows when I am able to listen and accept what they have to give me. It seems that there has been an order that has needed to take place in order for it to get to where we are now. I know that Dark and Death had to come together first in order for me to not feel the need to end. From there others have come in way that I was ready to hear what they had to say.

To be co-conscious, we are willing to accept them for who they are and to be present with them. I think it is different from blending in that blending is the coming together and sharing both the memories and the feelings. It is a process, one that takes time and lots of work. I know for us, we are somewhere between the co-conscioueness and possibly the start of blending.

When I got co-consciousness, I began to realize the others existed. I began to hear them and to talk with them. But now it is different in that all within have that co-consciousness of one another. At first they all thought they were alone and held things no one else knew. Now they are talking amongst themselves and they realize for the first time that they all share memories, either together or alone. But that they are not alone within.

This was a shock to all and still we are trying to figure this all out. It is hard and painful, but it is something that we have to face. It has no time for each one is different. Being gentle with yourself is key and not pushing too hard. Allowing yourself time to listen and accept too. For me, I am now getting everyones memories and the chatter within is almost too much at times.

They need to be heard and know that it is okay for them to share. For so long they did not know one another existed so this is hard for them too but at the same time it is sorta a relief for us all. Everyone is different and the key thing is to remember it took time to get to where we are and it will take time to heal. There is no instruction manual to follow. It is what you can accept as well as the others.

We all did not learn to trust so it stands to reason that even those within would have a hard time trusting. But it is possible to build that trust slowly. Remember to breathe and that together you can accomplish this. We are here listening and hearing you. What you are feeling is okay and I validate what you feel.

Be kind to you and remember to take breaks where you need them. Know that we are here for you. I do not know if what I said makes any sense. right now we are in a raging storm ourselves and it is hard sometimes to see where we are or where we are going. But I know that we are right where we are suppose to be. Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
