multiple personality disorder

multiple personality disorder

Its still a mystery why she gave me his book. She didnt even really know me other then from a few 15 minute train rides we had spent together. I had never heard of him before and yet as she handed me The book of Disquiet she said: Here, this is for you. It reminded me of you.

I started reading it, not feeling like reading a novel at the time. Its not unusual for multiple personality disorder to identify with what a gifted writer leaves on paper. But as I read line by line, multiple personality disorder was more then that. It was as if I had written it. I was looking at the thoughts I thought and the feelings I felt. Or better: had felt. Before my change.

I never finished multiple personality disorder book, multiple personality disorder too scared of what doors it would re-open. But a few months ago, I stumbled across his name, looking for some poetry books. On the back it said: The largest and richest English-language volume of poetry from the greatest twentieth-century writer you have never heard of. I had heard of him. But I didnt know he wrote poetry. So I bought it.

Below, two examples. The poets name mentioned above it is Alberto Caeiro, one of Pessoas multiple heteronyms (a whole personality rather then just a pseudonym).

There are 414 pages in the poetry book and another multiple hundred in the Book of Disquiet. So if Im not around much lately, its probably because Ive finally found my summer read.

******************** Alberto Caeiro

You say Im something more
Than a stone or a plant.
You say: You feel, you think, and you know
That you think and feel.
Do stones write poems?
Do plants have ideas about the world?

Yes, theres a difference,
But its not the difference you suppose,
Because being conscious doesnt oblige me to have theories
about things;
It only obliges me to be conscious.

If Im more than a stone or a plant? I dont know.
Im different. I dont know what more is or what less is.

Is being conscious more than being colorful?
It might be or might not be.
I know only that its different.
No one can prove that its more than just different.

I know the stone is and the plant exists.
I know this multiple personality disorder they exist.
I know this because my senses show it to me.
I know Im real as well.
I know this because my senses show it to me.,
Thought less clearly than they show me the stone and the plant.
Thats all I know.

Yes, I write poems, and the stone doesnt write poems.
Yes, I have ideas about the world, and the plant has none.
But stones are not poets, multiple personality disorder stones;
And plants are just plants, not thinkers.
I can say this makes me superior to them
Or I can say it makes inferior.
But I say nothing. I say of the stone, Its a />I say of myself, Its me.
And I say no more. What more is there to say?

*********** Alberto Caeiro

Live, you say, in the present.
Live only in the present.

But I dont want the present, I want reality.
I want the things that exist, not the time that measures them.

What is the present?
Its something in relation to the past and the future.
Its something that exists by virue of other things existing.
I want only reality, the things themselves, without any present.

I dont want to include time in my awareness of what exists.
I dont want to think of things as being in the present; I want to multiple personality disorder of them as things.
I dont want to separate them from themselves, calling them present.

I shouldnt even call them real.
Is shouldnt call them anything.

I should see them, just see them,
See them until I can no longer think about them,
See them without time or space,
see with no need of anything besides what Im seeing.
This is the science of seeing, which is no science at all.
