examples
a 2 yr old alter whos job and purpose was to cry. and only cry. she could not be any other way
a 16 yr old who smoked, partied and looked for guys and thats all her job purpose was.
A 13 yr old alter who despite my living in the city was living in the country mentally. she could not learn to lock the doors because in the mountains we never had locks on the doors, could not understand we didnt have a garden to weed because we were in the city. to her the city wasnt her home, and wasnt in her memories.
Alters are created for a purpose or to do a job that the host cannot handle at that moment.
that child alter of yours may not be able to understand anything beyond what she was created for because how she is, is what you needed when she was created.

Is there any reason for me to introduce her to music? Will this help us or just confuse us? Is it better for her if I just accept her as she is? She is hiding right now because she wasn't able to understand what food or music was. I tried to tell her but she had no concept of either of them. I am giving her time to feel better. She became very upset and started to cry. She never cries. She is always happy and optimistic. She is aware of me and some of the others. But she also has no negative thoughts or emotions. She is very innocent. I don't ever remember being this innocent. I am worried about her. I want her to feel safe but I don't know what to do. Your insights help me. Thank you
