Definitions: *please note most prefer the terms "multiple" and "multiple situation" over "hosting" and "host".
Hosting:
*A Situation when two or more
spirits/beings inhabit and live in one body, either
temporarily or permanently *
Multiple: *Beings who are in a multiple/hosting situation. It is the prefered term by some.
Host:
*The being whose body it is, before other
spirits/beings come. The normal inhabitant of the
body. This is the preferred term by others.
Hostee:
*The being who is being hosted, the visitor.
Multiple Situation/Hosting Situation/Hosting Sitch:
*The actual situation of hosting. A hosting in
progress. Some prefer the term Multiple situation or being in a Multiple system/household.
Channeling:
*I think a short-term version of hosting, where the
visitor is only visiting here for a few minutes or
hours.
Up-front:
*The action or condition of a beings awareness
interacting with the outside world. Rather then
sitting in "the back" and observing, this is the
process of interaction.
~Signs of a potential Hosting situation~
From our own experience we have found that there are
several things which I and the being I host have
observed which showed both myself and my Hostee that
we may have been in a host situation, rather then me
being insane. Please keep in mind that these are the
signs which we observed in our particular situation,
and your experiences might be different. We will, where
ever we can, give examples of how this related to me
and the being which I host.
*Gaining memories which are not your
own*
If you have the experience and gain
a memory which you clearly can tell is not your own,
then it may be a memory of a being you are channeling
or hosting. While this is a very strong sign of the
presence of a hosting situation, it is also one of the
hardest signs to figure out for sure. Memories are
awkward, are not linear and some things which may have
occurred in your lifetimes you may not recognize for
years, perhaps never. So figuring out for sure if the
awkward memory you have is your own or not may be
difficult at times. For us this was awkward. I knew I
had only been on earth once before, during Roman
times, and this only for a short while. A
memory from France in the 1940s was clearly not my
own. There was no one with me when I got it and it was
clearly not one of my lifetimes. Figuring it out
made me notice that she was there and that it was her
memory and not my own that I saw.
*Animals or people react differently to you and to
them*
As animals, especially cats are super sensitive and
more aware of subtle changes, they will oftentimes
notice a switch in personality and being as a host and
Hostee do, even if it is very subtle. They may react
fiercer, mistrust, or be very close to a hosted being,
depending on who they are and how well they work with
and around animals. Babies are another good example,
they will instinctively know their mother, and if
another being comes to the front, the baby may make a
fuss. I have seen a mother who is a host switch sides
with a being she hosted and her baby instantly knew
that it was not Mommy who was there anymore. For
myself, every time I pet one of my cats she bites me,
for *patty (name changed to protect hir), every cat in
the house will gravitate towards her, never bite her,
and even purr without her touching them. Even my mom's
cat is unusually attracted to *patty, and the cat is
one of the most antisocial pets I know.
*You feel a subtle pause while the switch is
happening*
Oftentimes when you switch with a hosted being to who
is up front, there is a small pause while this
happens. Both outsiders and you yourselves will not
miss when this is occurring. Sadly I cannot English
nor put into any language what this switch feels like
to us.
*You will have different likes and dislikes about
different matters*
Food and dietary tastes may be very different between
you and your Hostee. While you may love spicy foods,
they may not be able to stand them, one of you may be
a heath-nut, the other a junk food queen. Sudden
changes of appetites may be an indication of a hosting
situation. Especially if you like food X one hour and
do not like it the next, and then like it again
the next day. Look to other signs for more validation.
When I at some times could eat spicy foods without
them tasting spicy to the body as well as eating raw
onions which I absolutely hate with a passion, it was
merely *patty making me aware of both her presence and
her individuality. (She tends to do that, every time I
doubt the fact of the hosting Sitch, she'll do
something to prove otherwise and to reassure me that
I'm not insane.)
*You may have different writing styles,
or write with different hands*
While you may prefer to write with the left hand your
hosted spirit may write with the right hand. Or sie
may not write in English, or perhaps only her
handwriting will be different from yours in some form
or way. This one was strange for us. She has a more
cursive and prettier style of handwriting than my
own "chicken scratch." She also
tends to be a better speller and writer then me.
*You are individual people, individual souls. *
You may at times be vehemently opposed to being
counted as or seen as one person. While you are
sharing one body and will seem as only one being to
the outside world, a lot of those in hosting
situations will do many things, however subtle, to show
the world that there is a difference between those
souls who reside in the body. Oftentimes it's shown in
simple ways, such as a tendency of one being to be
drawn to a certain style of dress, to other oddities.
One may spell better than the other, or use different
slangs/dialects or something similar. Everyone usually
has had a different past, not always human either.
While this may seem confusing at first to outside
observers, these little tendencies will, when shown,
enable those in a hosting situation to notice that
this is what they may be going through. In our
situation at the first few months while I was back at
my mothers house again every time *patty was up front
it seemed to my Mom as if I was on drugs. I knew I was
not on any drugs, but my Mom could not figure out how
this change occurred. The spirit I host was much more
soft spoken then me, would not lose her temper no
matter how much teased by her, and all cats seemed to
drift around her. Not at all like me for those who
know me, and several around us mentioned this to us.
*Different or mixed energy signatures*
For those who may be metaphysically inclined those who
are in hosting situations will oftentimes have
different energy signatures. Sometimes they may be
meddled and mixed, depending on how much of each
beings awareness is up front. So between mine and hers,
people may either get mostly hers, mostly mine or a
mix of different amounts of both of us. Even some of
those who are not energetically inclined can sometimes
say that being around the individuals just "feels"
different.
