I was watching slimecicles infinitecraft video and I found the wildest shit. So he found the word "🐽🌊pigmare", and I was like "what the ever loving fuck is a pigmare?" So I googled it. Turns out it's a really specific word for a pig related nightmare. But that's not the crazy shit. When I looked back up at the video he found the word "Pigasus" which sounded like the perfect creature for the world of ringard (my dnd campaign) and I googled it. Expecting to find a pig pegasus, I SCREAMED when I realized pigasus was an actual pig who was nominated for president

And that's not all friends, PIGASUS WAS ARRESTED FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT AT HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

so long story short, I have a new idol to look up to now

Do... do anti-endos understand that psychologists don't believe in ghosts?

Just breaking down another of these...

First... while mediumship is communication with spirits, not all spirits are ghosts of the dead. As Wikipedia states: "Mediumship is the practice of purportedly mediating communication between familiar spirits or spirits of the dead and living human beings." Note that familiar spirits are not generally human, although they can be.

More importantly, as far as the claim that these possession states aren't long-term... this is again wrong.

One common experience from mediums are recurrent and persistent entities, often referred to as spirit guides.

Which, again, are not always human spirits...

According to Western theosophical doctrine, spirit guides are not always of human descent. Some spirit guides live as energy, in the cosmic realm, or as light beings, which are very high level spirit guides. Some spirit guides are persons who have lived many former lifetimes, paid their karmic debts, and advanced beyond a need to reincarnate. Many devotees believe that spirit guides are chosen on "the other side" by those who are about to incarnate and wish assistance.

In first hand accounts, it references this, showing a medium who has had communication with her spirit guide since the age of four:

Theresa Caputo, the Long Island-based, Pigasus Award-winning "medium" of the reality TV series Long Island Medium, simply calls her guide "Spirit", claiming that it is an entity that she has been able to sense since she was four years old.

This account and many others like it are consistent with reports of spiritual plurals.

The bottom line is that if an anti-endo tells you spirit channelers don't have recurrent or persistent spirits, and tries to convince you that all of their experiences are just temporary... they're either misinformed or they're intentionally lying to you.

With anti-endos, it's always hard to determine which.

Yes. I too find it difficult to find information about things I have no interest in looking for.

The above is a case study of a spiritual leader of Umbanda who would have met the diagnostic criteria for DID as a youth but no longer would.

Okay... let's just look at the ICD-11 entry again...

First, early on, it establishes "personality state" as being synonymous with dissociative identity.

Disruption of identity characterized by the presence of two or more distinct personality states (dissociative identities), involving marked discontinuities in the sense of self and agency. Each personality state includes its own pattern of experiencing, perceiving, conceiving, and relating to self, the body, and the environment.

Then in the boundaries with normality, it says...

The presence of two or more distinct personality states does not always indicate the presence of a mental disorder. In certain circumstances (e.g., as experienced by ‘mediums’ or other culturally accepted spiritual practitioners) the presence of multiple personality states is not experienced as aversive and is not associated with impairment in functioning. A diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder should not be assigned in these cases.

This is really not very ambiguous at all. Reading this as "don't assume a medium has DID because they believe in ghosts" is next level mental gymnastics.

This is an awful bad faith interpretation that seems designed to insult our intelligence.

As someone who doesn't believe in spirits or ghosts, I don't think that this is the slightest bit relevant.

This is correct that not everyone has the same spiritual beliefs or religions. And what this means is that many spiritual experiences are probably not actually spiritual. Too many are incompatible with each other for all or a majority to actually be spiritual. Even if one religion is true, that means most of the others aren't.

With that in mind, since a majority of these experiences probably wouldn't actually be spiritual due to incompatible beliefs, this isn't a discussion about spirituality. Not really. It's a discussion about psychology.

If you remove the supernatural elements from the discussion, then you're left with two possibilities. One is that every person experiencing possession is lying. This idea is immediately incredibly flawed, with experiences of possession being too common across the globe and throughout history.

A more logical explanation is that they are experiencing a psychological phenomenon that results in the creation of multiple "personality states." Or, as the creators of the theory of Structural Dissociation have phrased it, "self-conscious dissociative parts of the personality."

Our definition of dissociation pertains to a division of the personality in the context of trauma. We are aware that this division may also occur in hypnosis and mediumship, that several other definitions of dissociation also address these other contexts, and that there are some indications that dissociation in these other contexts is also best understood as a division of personality. For example, Hilgard's well-known “hidden observer,” as found in some highly hypnotizable subjects, involves a dissociative part of the personality that is endowed with consciousness and self-consciousness, but the phenomenon is disputed (e.g., CitationKihlstrom, 1998; CitationKirsch & Lynn, 1998). Mediumship may involve conscious and self-conscious dissociative parts of the personality (CitationBraude, 1995).

While the article notes that these forms of dissociation are different from DID, there is no opposition to the theory that the spirits communicated with spirits are dissociative parts of the personality. This would also be in-line with how the ICD-11 uses the same term of "personality states" to refer to both spirits communicated with by mediums and to dissociative identities.

Psychologists and psychiatrists do not believe in ghosts. The psychiatric community doesn't believe the spirits people communicate with are actually spirits. Maybe they are in some cases. I won't say definitively that you can't talk to spirits. But psychologists view these experiences as psychological phenomena.

And it is in this context that we discuss the personality state mentioned by the ICD-11.

I'm not overly invested in the debate about whether DID is always traumagenic. And I do think it is the vast majority of the time, at least. But I am going to correct misinformation when I see it because no, the ICD-11 doesn't say DID is always caused by trauma. What it does say:

Dissociative Identity Disorder is commonly associated with serious or chronic traumatic life events, including physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.

And...

Onset of Dissociative Identity Disorder is most commonly associated with traumatic experiences, especially physical, sexual, and emotional abuse or childhood neglect. The onset of identity changes can also be triggered by removal from ongoing traumatizing circumstances, death or serious illness of the perpetrator of abuse, or by other unrelated traumatic experiences later in life.

It DOES acknowledge that trauma frequently is associated with the disorder, but it's certainly a far cry from stating that DID is always traumagenic.

Once again, this is not and never has been about the beliefs of the specific religions.

The ICD-11 does not acknowledge spirits as real entities. It is not the view of the psychiatric community that possession states are literal possession by extradimensional beings or the souls of the dead.

This isn't about "using beliefs" from pagan religions. It's about using the current psychological theories about the nature of these experiences.

Whether these experiences are truly spiritual or not isn't important in the slightest to the topic of whether these experiences are plurality.
