I thought I was the only resident of this "planet"

I too feel this weird sense of dissociation you speak of. The multiplex of overlapping personalities that are somewhat aware of each other. The weird thing is that some of my personality characteristics or "characters" i become, vary based upon the time of day. For instance, late at night, during the night, and very early in the morning before I'm fully awake, I feel like my spiritual self is strongest, and my sense of right and wrong are in full swing. I know what bad things I've done the day before, and I regret everything and vow to change myself. Then as the day wears on, a more materialistic, selfish, self centered, and fleshly "character" takes dominance, and I shrug off my sense of guilt and do as I please, only to feel guilty again later that day and into the night. When im the spiritual me, i think of I as me, myself, I. When I'm behaving in a fleshly manner, its us or we. Let us do this, we will do that. The two dominant personalities don't have the same awareness of each other, because the fleshly side tends to forget the spiritual side, but the spiritual side is fully aware of the problem and seeks relief. Prayer is about the only thing that helps me.
