Then let's imagine that the remaining free provinces are infiltrated by terrorists (demons) who cause anarchy and destruction everywhere. Central government collapses. As a result the states split up (MPD) and rely on local government (alters) to continue to function. It's still a single country but without a federal government (integrated core personality) any longer and so the individual states or provinces become, to all intents and purposes, de facto independent (even if de jure they aren't) (see right). The central government may simply become a local provincial government.

Now when a country disintegrates like that it is very hard to unite it again. Somalia is a good example - it is divided into warring war lords with their own territories. Pre-Communist China was a bit like that with some areas of the country not under the control of Peking (Beijing). The current Afghan crisis may result in a fragmented nation. The only way to reunite a fragmented country is with a powerful central force which has credibility. In the case of an MPD, the only one who can really do that is Christ IF all the subpersonalities or alters accept Him.

Now here's the problem. In my experience with MPDs, the strongest subpersonalities or alters are usually the most CARNAL. Time and time again I have been talking to subpersonalities who are believers with sound spiritual sense and was about to suggest a course of action which would lead to progress when one of the dominant (and typically very demonised) eavesdropping alters has forced the conscious one aside and "taken over". And as I have pointed out in my other articles, the stronger alters have no conscience about dominating or controlling the weaker ones. Though there is "discussion" between them, there is no true democracy. The decisions that are taken are those who happen to have control of the conscious body at the time - it's a kind of Darwinian dictatorship of the strongest. Thus Vixen, when in control, and likely with the support of the clique of dominant alters like her, set about trying to commit suicide (under the influence of demons), and nearly succeeded.

Ministering to an MPD is not actually that dissimilar from ministering to an integrated person whose several inner rooms or parts are resisting repentance and spiritual action. Let's be completely honest with ourselves - there are "PARTS" of us which want to go one way, and "PARTS" which want to go another. We are all latently MPD. Thus MPD, even though it is abnormal, should not come as a surprise to us, nor other known and accepted psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia. At the same time, we should not fool ourselves into believing that we only have one "part" of our self - the self has many aspects which, properly aligned to Christ, should all be one and fully integrated like a symphony orchestra.

The unconscious, passive self is in its nature (unlike the conscious) the active self which is male. Only one subpersonality or alter can manifest at any one time. I have never spoken to two simultaneously. When that alter is manifest, she is in the male, leading, dominant position. All the others are female and unconscious. This is true whether the person is a man or a woman.

The problem in MPD is that there is a breakdown of central authority. Though there is a core personality, is may sometimes be unconscious. The break down of order caused by MPD means that various cliques form. Bringing an MPD to salvation - one that has been ritually abused by Satanists and therefore demonised - there will be alters who are possessed by one set of demons and alters possessed by others. Some demons will be stronger than others. The moral carnally-disposed and rebellious parts of the personality will, of course, be the more readily demonised, and be the more difficult to deliver. Worse, once delivered, they will continue to be afflicted by the "internnal demons" such pride and rebelliousness which will lead them to try an assume a dominant rôle. The fact that the core subpersonality is not permentantly conscious and in control is evidence that there is spiritual rebellion in the ranks of the alters. In the case of those abused and demonised, it is not untypical for a group of highly demonised alters to form an alliance (often called by MPDs the "Dark Side") and wage civil war against the other alters and, through the influence of their demon task-masters, try to get the others demonised and totally subverted too. And even though the MPD has been abused against her will, there are nevertheless aspects of the original carnal personality susceptible and amenable to demonisation who at some point make conscious choices to sin, and who are still required to repent at some stage of those choices. It may only be one alter, or perhaps two or three, but these are still guilty in some way. And they are not adverse to shifting the blame to other alters or insisting on equal culpability.

Even after salvation and/or deliverance of demonic bondage, the various alters will, because they are the same person, indulge in the usual self-justification that all fallen human beings do and form loose or strong carnal alliances. They will appeal as their self-justification to the fact that they were victims and had no control over the situation. And of course, they are largely right. When a small child is abused and brutally overwhelmed, she cannot be blamed for her condition, whether it be fragmentation (God's safety mechanism for survival) or demonisation. But in time, as the light of truth through grace percolates through to them, there most certainly are choices to be made, right or wrong, with responsibility and accountability for each. They do not become automatic exception cases to the rules of spiritual cause and effect. And whilst we should pour grace, love and understanding on these abused souls, we must never fall into the trap of believing that they are forever exempt from the Laws of Yahweh. Mature ministry is, to be sure, required, and I would not recommend inexperienced ministers trying to handle MPD cases.

Once the majority of subpersonalities or alters are saved and can make free choices, they are accountable. Where that line of accountability and non-accountability is to be drawn I don't suppose anybody can say for sure. But there most certainly is one. One of the biggest difficulties in ministering to MPDs is that they are so sensitive, vulnerable and at times touchy, that self-justification becomes an almost reflexive instict to them. They desperately need to be befriended and loved before corrective counselling can be given. They have struggles enough getting people to accept that they are multiple and are not just putting on an act. Worse is when ignorant Christians try to cast out alters as though they were demons. They aren't. But there often are demons lurking in the background pulling strings. So beware. And there are most certainly times when strong correction is required.

Before integration can take place the core personality has first to be identified. That personality is the divinely-ordained "head" and occupies the "male" position. Getting all the alters to submit to this head is an absolute prerequisite. And then getting the core subpersonality to submit to Christ and His Commandments is the next. We must also not forget that the alters, who have known a kind of pseudo-independence, will not be at all happy about becoming "subject". Pride will have made them actually "enjoy" (in a perverse way) their freedom to act (almost) independently. What they have to understand is that integration is not to their detriment. Surrendering self (in this case, an alter's sub-self) is essential, and trusting the core personality just a wife is supposed trust and obey her husband in Christ.

As you look at the various subpersonalities or alters in a fragmented MPD you see the whole gammut and range of spiritual disorders that we know so well in integrated people, including butch feminism, bisexuality, and lesbianism. There are certain aspects of every woman's spirit that are more susceptible to these sinful forms of behaviour than the others and it is not therefore atypical to find alters which incarnate these vices more than others. I have sensed as I have talked to various alters that some are more feminine than others - some are almost male. Full male alters in a woman MPD are also found which corresponds to what psychologists have long known as the Animus, or the male component of all women which, when 'he' comes to ascendency, creates feminism, bisexuality and lesbianism.

It is a new, and perhaps alarming, concept for most to understand that the Self is actually composed of many aspects which can assume independent attributes in the subconscious and which can actually SPLIT OFF as semi-independent subpersonalities and alters as the result of SRA. Many of the "voices" people hear in their heads are not only whispering demons but, more often than not, latent subpersonalities or aspects of the unintegrated self (sometimes the demons talk through these). I know of men who, sharing their dreams with me, have brutally suppressed the female part of themselves (the Anima) which can sometimes appear in dreams as little oppressed and victimised girls. The fact that we have a lesser opposite in ourselves is the basis of our own ability to be independently creative. The interaction of the male and female within us allows us to manifest this divine attribute - for good or evil. I have long believed that every man is 6 parts male and 1 part female, and every woman 1 part male and 6 parts female.

Because of the differences in the nature of male and female elements, men and women find their fulfilment in different things. There is a divinely ordained balance. The result - butch feministic women and emasculated men. It is all a part of the satanic plan of desexualisation, a forced march into unisexuality and sterility.

MPD serves to highlight all of these conclusions that I have arrived at over the years, and whilst it is not my purpose to exploit MPD for my own ends, I am not above learning whilst I focus on the main objective which is to bring these suffering people to integration and healing. I see so clearly the issues that face them, the excuses they make, and the similar problems that exist within the Body of Christ as it seeks to live communally and not just for self. I can see what a wonderful asset former MPDs, who have understood their condition and found integration, could be to this developing community. But before they can find hope and move forwards, they have first of all got to come to some painful realisations of just what condition they are in and what they must do, forsaking self-justification, repenting of sin, making themselves accountable (every alter) and accepting the love that is offered them. I don't say it is easy - it is not at all easy when you have been horribly abused by Satanists, and worse if you have been let down and betrayed by ignorant or insensible Christians. But there is hope and there is a way. This ministry, I hope, can offer that. We will make our committment to help if the MPDs in their turn will make theirs to help themselves and those who want to help them.
