I had an incident a few days ago when I had handled some material that my suggestions made me feel bad about certain things that I had not felt bad about before, and I chose to handle it by naming and addressing the "part of my mind that is dedicated to growing your manhood" directly. This was highly effective in quelling the immediate problem; but it had a very interesting side effect.

That part of my mind, once referred to by name, became an entity unto itself, operating independent of my primary consciousness and manifesting desires and fears independent of the programming that created it. I think I have accidentally created a full on hypnotic alter of the sort that inductions like "your other half" or "female takeover" deliberately make.

I made certain promises to that part of my mind when I was comforting in the moment when it was created and I feel a strong moral obligation to follow through on those promises. It feels very much like having accidentally impregnated a woman and being obliged to take care of the resulting child.

I seem to have progressed way beyond the scope of my original intent with hypnosis, and I strongly feel the need to write a set of instructions that will give me the tools to live with my new alter safely, so that he can rise to full conscious alterhood without me getting in trouble or losing control.

First order of business is to write an induction to create a safe place, where I can go to be safe when I need to and to give me the ability to send him there when he gets upset or when I need to function without influence from my suggestions. Next step is to make a more explicit program for the alter so he grows in a predictable way.

I feel a deep love for the entity I have created... there is no fear in this, just a lot of practical issues about how to pull it off without fucking myself up too bad.

Do any of you have alters or experience in creating and managing them in others?
