Fragmented Mirrors: The Fragility of Self-Identity
Experimental cases, particularly hypnotic substitutions of identity, demonstrate that our self-knowledge is much more pliable and vulnerable than we might think. These cases indicate that the notions we have established about ourselves are not an immutable, unified substance, but rather a dynamic construct capable of both external and internal influence. This is evident in the way artificially created identities turn out to be “defective” or distorted when realized through specific patterns, often leading to the fragmentation of a unified consciousness.
