split personalities

[Karxx Gxx]

So of course there is such a thing called reincarninations  (idk  how to spell it)
and has  been many cases proving  it.
So my question, when someone has split personalities, is it mabey  the   past life  coming  back  in a way?

Split personalities is a disocciative disorder caused by the supression of traumatic events. It's a condition created by the physical environment so it's a defect of the tuner (brain) and not the transmitter (metaphysical.)

and reincarnation hasn't been proven by any stretch of the imagination.

dissociative identity disorder is usually formed as a means of protecting the "primary" personality in a traumatic situation.  the brain compartmentalizes itself so that the "primary" personality can "hide" from the trauma, while a more suitable personality (that can presumably handle the trauma) deals with the external world.

there are instances of multiple personalities related to things like schizophrenia, which wouldn't be necessarily caused by an external stimuli.

regarding D.I.D. (dissociative identity disorder - aka - multiple/split personalities) and reincarnation, it doesn't make sense for a PAST life to suddenly pop up.  but my comment speaks more to reincarnation as being a linear event (which many people seem to think of it as).  it would make more sense to me if "past lives" were really "parallel lives".  so in that case, it would be a simultaneously occurring branch off personality.  the same consciousness, just expressed under different influences.
