there are a great many of people who can and who are capable and able of rapid reasoning - most notably, abuse victims and survivors. if the victims are able to summarise very quickly and get to the heart of a matter - and it is for this reason that there is an internal emotional intelligence occurring upon initial perception and almost immediate interpretation of external stimuli.
What follows in accoradance with rapid reasoning, is a sudden knowledge articualted or not that the self is dividing as it is intergrating as well as exploring - it is not yet therefore evolved. It is for this reason that split or multiple personality in abuse victims cannot be fully explained based upon biological or mental functioning. There are too many inconsistencies as there are consistencies within an alter who simulataneously know of themselves (pressumming there are more than one self) their instinctive feelings (at a baser level) regardless of each persona that is adopted consciously or not.
It can be argued that there is a deliberate choice going on of whom I should choose to be and why even if it is not consciously understood and verbally communicated. for instance, within powerlessness, there is a re-gaining of internal self-domination when the external environment cannot be altered. The alteration therefore: the redeeming of power has then to occur and does so instinctively from within, and this seemingly happens automatically when there is danger and trauma external of the self.
It is not safe to be oneself and The self then automatically retreats upon this knowledge and finds itself quickly reasoning within one voice that is its own but appears to that of many others because of creative tone brought on by regression, forced adult-experience.
A lot like a child jammed between infancy and adulthood, trying to belong to one accepted group of voice or another (the group is the community) but does not know which is the appropriate one because all the external rules have been warped and dysfunctional for natural growth and development. The role model is thus the child themselves struggling to identify themselves against themself when the appropriate or innapropriate peer community is absent or unreliable and unstable.
There surely has to be within this process, an intelligence? A rapid reasoning beyond the capability of the senses even and mind that at best can allow the brain to block difficult emotion and capture as well as arrange this emotional response and identity into the guise of personality concquerships that are unevolved and can be manipulated but are just merely established phenomena - the difference is strking. Think about it psychologists! - If the self can condition itself and based to some degree on external factors, how is it that abused trauma victims can be this extraordinary over biological functioning when all of this internal development is taking place primarily in the 'self' and in some part the mind.
The voice is a physiological mechanism, but what gives it the expression and how does the gut and larynx create such fathers and mothers and children when a trauma induced child has not even yet learned to be a child despite yearning for it? - There truly is a primal study to be done before one can get to the sophistications and misunderstood civilized human. For there to be so much self-autonomy, there has to be at least an emotional intelligence that little is written or discussed and cannot be reduced to the senses alone and much more emphasis upon perception explored and given alternative approach.
