We share the same conscious (co-conscious), so it seems like the 'lights never go out'. Is the original the conscious? And who is it? Or is "shim" just an observer? Or even here? We may never know.

Of course, our memories are our own memories, we may share or not. I know I have no idea what our work job is like or when an other insider is out doing their thing because they control the conscious, it's theirs it's them. I don't know why I or who I am, I just is. I guess I'm the friendly chirpy male one. People like me, some of the Others are like totally wacked.

I don't know how to explain this, the conscious is always aware, but as we switch, it becomes ours but it's like a start over. What has happened no idea, but I take over. Being the conscious is aware, when we go back, when the next is triggered in, there is a sense of staying present but new? It's just so weird.

Of course when we go back, we are out of touch with the front unless we observe and talk in.

Yes I have extreme memory issues, but with the constant switching, a lot of information seems to get lost.

Ultimately, it takes a few of us to make it through a minute. Often though, an essential part is asleep or whatever and we generally end up looking stupid. :/

But hey, it's been 47 years and we have managed, so far. A lot of times it's gotten scary, but we just have a hard time dying by non-conventional means like accidental overdosing even though we pushed it further than most of the population.

So anyways..just saying.
