The other component of this is the idea of an alter ego.
In my current studies, ego is not healthy or obviously real.
I like the idea of creating a non-real entity to present to the world so that I can protect the child within that has gone through so much.
It actually makes a lot of sense to me.
I have morphed myself many times in 65 years. Why not allow myself to purposely create a persona that has the courage to say what she needs to say in a hostile environment?
Perhaps it will allow the message that I can hear the world so desparately crying out for be heard.
I once took on the name Christa-Ann Faith Godsdaughter because that is who and what I identified with and I needed something to hold onto and remind me who I really am.
I held that name legally after a divorce in 2006 and kept it for six years till I heard from the Spirit that I needed to go back to my birth name for my children.
Perhaps she needs to emerge once again, stronger, capable, and whole?!!
Thank you for your article. It has meant a lot to me. <3
