(...) The Man is caused by the microscopic personalities that live in Him.

Any kind of experience: every spoken word, thought, and an encounter with another person mold our personality and according to that, everyone is everlastingly and continuously changing.

(…) However, according to Soares, nothing happens in us, in our inside, but everything comes from the outside (via our inside as a type of a “channel”). According to postmodernists, the subject is a void in which the speech of the “other” is inscribed. Being aware of it or not, inside of us are hidden different parts of the personality puzzle which we show and use depending on the situation. Someday, in one type of the psychic democracy, everybody will have to learn how to use these different personalities. (…) In fact, future “normal” man will have a lot of different personalities, because that will be the only way he will be able to channel multiplicity of reality and its excessive TV-presence which bombards us from everywhere. Reality will be too strong, overwhelming, too present, and too intensive to be alleviated only by one person – one will have to explode in order to catch up with the explosion of the reality.

(…) So, Self is a medium, process in which different powers and energies fight for supremacy. Self is a receiver of demonic ideas, feelings and words. Each sensation bombards you, each notion pierces you – you are punctured by what you hear, see and feel. All three gets free and lives its life. Pessoa says “I created in myself a few personalities. I constantly make personalities. Each my fantasy, just made up, materializes and is put in another personality which further dreams it instead of me”.

Priče o mojim nama

(…) Čovjeka uzrokuju mikroskopske osobnosti koje žive u njemu.

Svaka izgovorena riječ, misao, susret s drugom osobom, iskustvo u bilo kojem pogledu oblikuju našu osobnost/i i prema tome se svatko od nas neprestano i kontinuirano mijenja. (…) Prema Soaresu, naime, ništa se ne događa u nama, u našoj unutrašnjosti, nego sve dolazi izvana (posredstvom naše unutrašnjosti kao „kanala“). Subjekt je, kako kažu postmodernisti, praznina u koju se upisuje govor „drugog“. U sebi, bili toga svjesni ili ne, skrivaju se te male i različite slagalice pod/nad-osobnosti koje ovisno o situaciji iskazujemo i njima se koristimo. U nekoj vrsti psihičke demokracije, korištenje tim različitim osobnostima je nešto što ćemo u budućnosti svi morati naučiti. (…) Naime, budući će „normalni“ čovjek u sebi imati mnoštvo osobnosti jer će samo tako moći kanalizirati višestrukost same zbilje, njezinu pretjeranu teleprisutnost koja nas bombardira iz svih smjerova. Zbilja će biti presnažna, pregusta, preprisutna, preintenzivna da bi je mogla amortizirati samo jedna naša osoba – morat ćemo eksplodirati kako bismo uhvatili korak s eksplozijom same zbilje.

(…) Dakle, jastvo je medij, proces u kojemu se različite sile i energije izražavaju i „bore“ za prevlast; jastvo je prijamnik demonskih ideja, osjećaja i riječi: svaki te osjećaj bombardira, svako te opažanje probada – naboden si na ono što čuješ, vidiš i osjećaš; sve „troje“, osamostaljuje se i živi vlastiti život. Pessoa kaže: „Stvorih u sebi nekoliko osobnosti. Neprestano stvaram osobnosti. Svaka moja tlapnja, netom izmaštana, utjelovljuje se i smješta u neku drugu osobnost, koja je dalje sanja umjesto mene.“
