The Russian mystic Gurdjieff claimed that we all contain multiple personalities. Many researchers in psychology and neuroscience now share that startling view. as Gurdjieff indicated, the “I” who toils at a job does not seem the same “I” who makes love with joy and passion, and the third “I” who occasionally gets angry for no evident reason seems a third personality, etc. There does not appear anything metaphysical about this; it even appears, measurably, on electroencephalograms. Dr. Frank Putnam of the National Institute of Health found that extreme cases of multiple personality – the only ones that orthodox psychiatry recognizes – show quite distinct brain waves for each “personality” almost as if the researchers had taken the electrodes off of one subject and attached them to another.
