Have you ever heard someone say, “How can you know it’s not real?” People have been saying this for thousands of years. What they believe in is that when information enters the mind, it must come from external entities like immortal everything monsters, inter dimensional beings, talking rocks, telepathic people, aliens, etc. And just like when a kid learns how to understand, think in, and reply in language and culture, the person learns how to do all of this with those beings.
The problem is they develop a special language with their own brains not anything else, and this is when the brain produces split mind or split selves.
Don’t worry though. Everyone’s brains are mind splitting whether they are talking to other people in reality, or they are handling objects. Whether they realize that are not is another question. The people who realize that everyone is splitting all of the time succeed at the highest levels in life.
And certainly people that believe that their mind comes from anything except an organ that is marinated in blood between the ears succeeds the least in life because they are irrational.
When the mind splits, a person is weakest, and if they are uncontrollably splitting all of the time, then they get weaker and weaker all of the time. Life becomes very hard this way. Some people try to induce the split in people in order to weaken them, distract them, and get the upper hand. These people like to pick on sz people and similar types of people. What they do is called schizogenesis which means to generate a split. Other words related to this are bicameral, extremente, and doppleganger.
The problem for people with sz is they are not trying to see their brain make their minds from the outside like someone outside of their brains. The term for this is heterophrenomology which means to see what is going on in the mind/brain from an outside perspective because internal introspection says one thing is happening while heterophrenomology from the outside says that another thing is happening.
As sz’s we want to know as much about both the internal view and the external view if not to help only ourselves, to help everyone that we can too.
