healthy-multiplicity

State integration involves linkage in at least three different dimensions of our lives. The first level of integration is between our different states__he __nter_ dimension. We must accept our multiplicity, the fact that we can show up quite differently in our athletic, intellectual, sexual, spiritual__r many other__tates. A heterogeneous collection of states is completely normal in us humans. The key to well-being is collaboration across states, not some rigidly homogeneous unity. The notion that we can have a single, totally consistent way of being is both idealistic and unhealthy.
