We all have our little personalities in our heads, that are triggered in different situations and play out like a pre recorded tape. How many times we catch ourselves in reacting the same way, or saying certain things, or doing certain things following the same patterns. We tend to think ourselves as individuals, as some-one. But in fact we are an intricate network of these personality processes that play out automatically. If we look closely into these processes, the illusionary some-one, the individual is hardly found anywhere. There is an emergent being here that I experience as being myself that satisfies properties and has qualities that its underlying processes do not have individually.
