Well, it *could* be used in cases of MPD (hadn't thought of that).  I
*guess* it could be used in cases of spirit posession, too.  But its primary
use is in talking/arguing with oneself.  (which I do quite regularly)  It
technically referrs to that part of yourself which you do not comprehend --
the part of you that dose things "out of character".  It is used in Lrahran
psychology to refer to what Jung called the Shadow.  I guess (I just thought
of this) Superman could use it to refer to Clark Kent and vice versa! LOL
Now isn't *that* silly.
