Like you, I too felt the overwhelming intimacy of integrating all of these different personalities in my body or awareness-field when I first joined FFL -- I was often so wired I didn't sleep for several days. (Not that sleep is what it used to be, anyhow. Like you, I believe, I generally feel as if there is a part of me that is always asleep, and a part that is always awake....) Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know that I for one am very happy you're here with us, and I hope you feel like sticking around.
