Voice Dialogue Monologues

Ok. I had mentioned voice dialogue to you before --about how people talk about themselves in the 3rd person, basically some subpersonality takes over and talks about themselves. So I'm writing a few of them because they are interesting. I guess the idea of a monologue and this character (Desdemona) immediately reminded me of this book. Also, Desdemona is the name of the grandmother in Middlesex. That's how I know that name and remember it. She is the one that got pregnant with her brother's child on the boat to America. Anyway, back to Voice Dialogue, here are a couple:

Facilitator: Judy has talked about her inability to be as spontaneous as some of her friends in California, so I thought I'd like to ask you how you feel about spontaneity--about trying new things.
Protector/Controller: It looks pretty immature to me. I don't want her doing anything that she hasn't really thought through...nothing that she'll have to repudiate later....These Californians and their spontaneity...just give them something new and they'll go after it with a passion. Then, two years later, there they are...another fad and they've made fools of themselves by giving in to it. I don't want her to look foolish! That's my biggest fear--looking foolish or, worse yet, acting immature. You have to maintain a certain maturity, a dignity, even a little cynicism in this life or people won't respect you. You know, one year they're all eating vegetables and another year they're all doing doing TM and another year it's aerobics. As far as I'm concerned, they all look like a bunch of children running after some magical prescription for the good life. There is none. And knowing that fact is maturity. I know.
My job is to keep Judy mature and wise and to never, never let her look foolish. That includes falling in love. If she misses a little fun, that's fine. fun is for children anyway. Life is serious and Judy should stay serious and responsible.
I make sure that Judy is a person that people will respect and trust. They can depend on her to be rational, like I am, and careful in all her decisions and actions. I've done wonders for her professional life.

Here is another one that's cool. A woman is recalling her dream. Her name is Agnes.

"Agnes had done a great deal of psychological work and was aware of energy patterns -- demonic energies in particular. She decided to learn more about her own demonic energies and what they represented in her life. Soon after making this decision she had the following dream:

It was early morning at the beach and I was with Tom. We went into the ocean and it was dark. We were embracing and rolling sensually in the water. Then the tide brought us back to shore. It was daylight again and we left the water. I went back to my hotel room. I knew he would follow. When I closed the door behind me I got frightened about what would happen next.
At that point, I called on an actress to help me. She went into the shower. I walked in so I could watch the shower on all three sides. She then told me that she was frightened and couldn't finish the love scene with Tom.
Then we both decided to view an image of her completing it. After we visualized the lovemaking, Tom entered the shower and, as he closed the door behind him, he became a wild beast. He had a serpent's tail, clawed bird's feet, a beak with white teeth, and claws on the ends of his wings. He devoured the actress, tearing and shredding her. He had covent feet, like Satan, and after he consumed her they both disappeared.

This dream provides us with a clear example of how our energy becomes demonic. At first, Agnes experienced Tom sensually, but her control side feared this sensuality and gradually disowned it. So she called in the actress--that part of her acts rather than experiences. But even the actress was afraid, so together they used their powers of imagination to distance themselves still further from the primary energy pattern of sensuality.[...]"
