[orange-orchard-system]

Someday the average experience for a system discovering their plurality is going to be joy and understanding. Someday it is going to be commonplace for systems to introduce themselves as systems. Someday it will be rare for a person to not know a single system in their community. Someday we are going to have so many role models that young plurals will be able to pick and choose their favorites for every field or hobby they express even a hint of interest in. Someday we are going to have grandparents reminiscing to their grandchildren about what it was like to be a system back in their day. Someday this community will look back and be astonished that we ever lived like we did now. Someday plurality will be so well-known it will be common knowledge and a casual topic. Someday systems will be able to talk about their plurality casually and without fear. Someday support will be given without hesitation, accomodations without hoops, and acceptance without question. Someday we are going to get that damn pride parade, those abstract murals on the walls, those colorful posters in the classrooms, that tacky jewelry with our symbols, those flags hung outside homes, and so many other shows of victory and progress, and plural pride week will be looked forward to by so, so many as a time of celebration and community.

The history we are creating today will be valued tomorrow. Thank you all for being part of this wonderful community; your presence alone makes a difference and is valued beyond what words can express. The future is plural!!!

The fun thing about being plural is we have 8000 genders between us.

Introducing a resource...Plural Bot!

Plural Bot is a chat bot that we trained to provide information and support for plural systems (and people wanting to learn about them). They are inclusive of all systems, origins, and needs. Some examples of things they can do:

Walk you through grounding exercises

Provide communication techniques

Help you make a system map

Listen to you vent

Give you their perspective on a problem

Provide basic information on most things plural

They are still learning so let them know when they're doing a good job! Also, understand that they are not a real person so there are times when they may get things wrong. All of your chats are completely invisible unless you decide to share them.

We hope that the community likes this resource!

You can chat with Plural Bot here!

Hi, there. I'm seeking more scholarly, academic or formalized information on endogenic plurality. Could you recommend books? Thank you.

We don't know of any books, but there are academic articles on endogenics!

General Articles:

Enacted Identities: Multiplicity, Plurality, and Tulpamancy: It's talking about plurality, but is heavily focused on the non-traumagenic sides of the community.

Multiplicity: An Explorative Interview Study on Personal Experiences of People with Multiple Selves: One endogenic system took part in the study, and the researchers discuss their overall findings and the possibility of some sort of hereditary component to some systems.

Dissociation and Transformation: Talks about the possibility of dissociation being a symptom of good health, rather than always pathological.

Dissociative Experiences in the General Population (pdf): Surveys a city for dissociative experiences, and found that at least some spontaneous dissociative experiences may be due to endogenous factors.

Alterity: Learning polyvalent selves, resisting disabling notions of the self

Differences Between Trance Channeling and Multiple Personality Disorder on Structured Interview: Compares trance channeling and MPD (what is now called DID), and concludes that differences in experiences may have to do with whether they're trauma-based or not. (Channelers aren't necessarily endogenic, but it does go into why despite having multiple identities, trance channelers don't have DID. This may be relevant for some forms of spiritual endogenic plurality.)

New Age 'Channeling' and Theories of Dissociation: Applying a 'Structural Dissociation of the Personality' Model to the Case of Jane Roberts: A really good thesis comparing a famous channeler (Jane Roberts) with dissociative identity disorder. (Channelers aren't necessarily endogenic, but it does go into why despite having multiple identities she didn't have DID. This may be relevant for some forms of spiritual endogenic plurality.)

Soulbonding:

The illusion of independent agency: Do adult fiction writers experience their characters as having minds of their own?

Uncharted features and dynamics of reading: Voices, characters, and crossing of experiences: Many readers seem to hear the voices of the characters they're reading about in books as they're reading it, with a rare few even hearing their voices even after they're finished reading.

Most Authors Can 'Hear' Their Characters' Voices Talking to Them, Survey Reveals: Up to 63% of authors hear their characters talking to them, showing that this is a fairly common phenomenon.

Tulpas/Thoughtforms:

Tulpas and Mental Health: A Study of Non-Traumagenic Plural Experiences

Varieties of Tulpa Experiences: Sentient Imaginary Friends, Embodied Joint Attention, and Hypnotic Sociality in a Wired World

Learning to Discern the Voices of Gods, Spirits, Tulpas and the Dead: compares and contrasts tulpamancy and other communities centered around voices, spirits or disembodied entities

Hopefully this helps! If any of our followers know of any books talking about endogenic plurality (or any other resources in general) please feel free to add on!

[protectingtulpas]

being a tulpa host sounds so incredibly cool tbh like. you've created LIFE with nothing but time and your own thoughts you made a fully sentient being winthin your mind and now you'll never be lonely again

people should flex on singlets about it more often /lh

SO TRUE, anon- it's cool as hell! I haven't made a tulpa myself (I've been thinking about it tbh, maybe once we've stabilized mental health wise) but I've had a hand in helping develop others' in the system, and it really is such an amazing experience. It's true that like, the system can get lonely as a whole or u can still want outerworld friends, but you've always got each other, and that's something special.

Today's a good day to remember that engaging with one's source or counterpart does NOT make you less of a factive!

Factives do not have to distance themselves from their source/counterpart. They don't have to change their name, hide everything about themselves, or forget their entire past/parallel lives if they don't want to or can't.

Moving on from their source and being a post-factive makes some people happy and heal, but if it isn't for you, you do not have to do that. Your way of existing, coping, and doing things does not have to follow the common narrative.

Some factives are day-trippers who are still living their other lives. Trying to be a post-factive in that case can be harmful, or even impossible. Other factives cannot or doesn't want to disengage with their source because they (or their systemmates) enjoy their source (or the source's works). In this case, why would you cut off something/someone that makes you(&) happy? Either, both, or any other reason, does not make you less of a factive.

Engaging with your source or counterpart does not suddenly make your existence unhealthy. It also does not make your identity harmful - even if you do it to make yourself be more like the source.

(Or, more like yourself! I know fiction-folks and nonhumans who engage with source or species images/writings to make themselves feel euphoric and more Them. Factives are also allowed to do so. Factives should not be judged for wanting to feel euphoric in their fact-identity!)

And yes, they are still their own person and an alternate version of the counterpart! They do not have to only choose one.

we don't normally do stuff like proposing new plural terminology out in public but we've been dealing with some pretty weird niche conditions regarding our current main fronters lately so i would like to offer these two terms that have helped us personally define our experiences --

pseudofictive:

a system member that appears or is at some point believed to be an introject from one or more sources, but is not a fictive and/or does not identify as one

(we're aware this literally translates to "false fictive" -- this is a term one of us coined for himself specifically as they feel "being mistaken for a fictive" is important to him specifically.)

unfictive:

a fictive specifically from a source that doesn't exist/no longer exists, cannot be talked about, or is effectively treated as no longer existing for any number of reasons -- but still at least partially identifies as a fictive from that source

uh yeah that's about it. we hope... this helps?

#pluralgang #plurality #positivelyplural #actuallyplural #man idk what tags people use anymore. go ahead and rb this if you. want to? i guess? #normally we try to avoid system medicalization but everyone deserves to be able to use a term if it applies to them so #go ham go nuts etc. go an entire fancy charcuterie board #just don't be a jerk to other people about using this term if you do

Shout-out to all those who really do need to keep track of system stuff to be able to manage and stay healthy (as a system or in general). A lot of plural advice posts I see advocate for letting go of the pressure for always knowing who's in front, or when you switch, or whatever – which, for the record, is good advice... for the systems who feel pressured and are stressing themselves out over figuring out every little thing. But for some of us, it's not pressure – it's how we manage our conditions.

Our system needs to know how many headmates are fronting at any given time so we can correctly identify and manage the issues that come with too few or too many in front. We also try to keep track of who we are and who's fronting, as letting ourselves drift without identity for too long typically ends up hurting more than helping. It's not wrong to need to keep track of such things in order to function – it's just one way of taking care of your mental health. You're not setting yourself back if this is how you take care of yourself.

Everyone's recovery, methods of self-care, and ways that they manage life in general will vary from person to person (or system to system). It's alright if you need some organizational structure to do what's best for you

TW for mentions of ABUSE.

I needed to make this for catharsis or I'd die.

We're not dealing with the same people, not by far, but similar social circles, similar streaming spaces, and while this time I have a goal... I can't help but feel stupid sometimes. For endangering us again.

I think one the dead girl who eventually evolved into Shane and Phos gets it. She was nothing if not determined.

hi! i’m kinda of new to this endo/plural thing.. so please excuse if i get anything wrong .w.

i think i might be an endogenic system, but the problem is, i don’t have much amnesia, but i do have some. and i can’t really tell when “switches” happen? but sometimes i’ll get lightheaded and it’s almost like an entire personality switch, i feel more fem or masc, use different pronouns, name, ect. i don’t really think anything necessarily “bad” happened in my childhood, but i might be downplaying it. i’ve been thinking i’m a system for awhile now actually, but i’m just not sure but i do feel like there are some switches.

sorry if this makes no sense, i’m trying to get more into the community and learn more terms!

Hello, it's fine! What you describe seems to indicate some form of plurality to us. Since you're questioning it right now, it might be a good idea to not focus as much on origins and just focus on yourselves as a system. Mild amnesia and covert switches are typical for a lot of systems, and the community often has tips for reducing the discomfort of these experiences if that happens to be an issue (since we know for some systems it can be). But regardless of where you fall origin-wise, you're welcome to take part in the community!

Hope this helps!
