i was responding to this part of your post:

> There has been some discussion on whether mutiples exist or whether it's just ego states and I have to admit that I have found this a bit distressing. Kind of- Are you saying 'I don't exist.'

in order to clarify what i meant. in order to reassure you that i wasn't at all saying or implying that they don't exist. in order to alleviate your distress.

i'm sorry you took me to be arguing. i guess i'll just refrain from responding to your threads in future. thanks.
