This book aims to highlight the distinctive and unfamiliar ways in which diverse religious traditions understand the 'body', and also, in doing this, to raise to greater consciousness some of the assumptions and problems of contemporary attitudes to it. It brings together essays by established experts in the history of religion, the social sciences, and philosophy. Part I is devoted to an analysis of current secularized discourses on the 'body', and to exposing both their anti-religious and their covertly religious content. Parts II and III provide essays on traditional 'Western' and 'Eastern' religious attitudes to the 'body'. Each contributor focuses on some (especially characteristic) devotional practices or relevant texts; each carefully outlines the total context in which a distinctive religious attitude to 'bodiliness' occurs. The result is a rich source for comparative studies of the 'body', and of its relation to society and to the divine.

多重人格不是一個人的不同面相，而是不同人格的自我競爭與隔閡。承認與理解我們都有複數自我，才是健康正常的心態。每個人都有複數自我，每個人都可以練習在正確時刻，用正確的自我，做正確的事。「讚美作者們勤奮的研究、原創性的思考，還有勇氣十足的率先開拓，把現代心理學基本假設改變到更近似於我們的真實面貌。」——艾諾蒂・朱迪斯（Anodea Judith）博士，《東方身體，西方心靈》（Eastern Body, Western Mind）作者「縝密、迷人，而且讀起來充滿樂趣。對於身而為人是何種意義，作者們更上一層樓的理解讓我欣喜若狂。」——羅伯・布雷茲尼（Rob Brezsny），《正面妄想是負面妄想的解毒劑》（Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia）作者＊你曾經跟自己對話嗎？你覺得在跟誰對話？另一個聲音？或另一個人？＊你曾經獨自或跟朋友一起做過很瘋狂的事嗎？──某種你在父母、子女、同事或老闆面前絕對不會做的事？那樣做的人是誰？事後你自己覺得尷尬或後悔嗎？＊你是否曾經感受到莫大的壓力，以至於做出自己絕對不會做的事？一旦你這麼做了──你的另一個部分是否已經知道你正在鑄下大錯？如果你再次經歷同樣的壓力，那一部分的你會不會再度出現？承認我們自己具有這些不同點，就是本書的重點：「複數自我（多重人格）」並不是疾病，而是一種健康且具有創意的生存機制，不同的自我有能力突顯出不同的性質、特徵與天賦。學習接納自己的多重人格，在日常生活中，應用健康人格的言語跟自己對話是相當有趣的練習。轉化人格不是難事，關鍵在轉化時的專注。接受它、面對它，在適當的時機控制它，讓它成為我們獨一無二的生命交響曲！在你閱讀本書時，期望你至少會做兩件事：・放下把自己描述成一個單一、整體自我的種種方式。・開始接納並欣賞自己的複數自我，還有別人的複數自我。本書關注的焦點是多重人格的健康與完整性——而非聚焦在病變與功能失調；既然相信複數自我存在，否認它們的真實性或設法逼迫它們離開，都是一種錯誤。透過心理學、神經科學，甚至文學和大眾文化，探討多重自我的概念如何在科學與靈性得到印證，本書並提供務實的方法教導我們如何協調自己，學習如何在不同的情況展示適當的自我人格，幫助我們更了解自己；培養並融合這些複數自我，讓我們更健康、也更快樂。
