This is a compilation of plural resources for systems in countries all over the world. Copying, translating, replicating, and recreating in different formats is not just allowed, but encouraged.

All we ask is that you notify us when your translation is complete, so we can link it to the original document.

It features:

an explanation of what plurality is,

a list of websites and individual articles, organised by language (of which there are currently 10),

academic papers on plurality in different regions of the world,

and a few tips on explaining plurality in your language or culture (we are hoping to add more).

Despite the original version being written in English, it is written in plain language (no figures of speech, bare minimum jargon with explainations) so that those using tools like Google Translate can get a clear idea of the information.

This guide is not perfect! We are only fluent writers in English, and we do not have insight into every single culture. It will update as new resources are found.

If you have any tips, links, suggestions or complaints, send asks to this blog or email us at [email protected].

Where are the mentions of Collective members NOT residing within the brain? Why is plurality always "multiple selves within a body" and never "plurality is a body used/shared by multiple people" without the literal implications that the ONLY way is for the entire collective to be "within" the brain/body when that is not ALWAYS the case?

I know this is probably meant to be a "brochure" type of document, but that almost makes it WORSE because it further pushes the idea that Metaphysical, Spiritual, Cosmological, Soul Bonder, etc type of plurality are less than or just generally don't matter. If we want the community to be more inclusive, then those who wrote resources like this have GOT to start including those lesser known and often shoved aside and ignored forms of plurality as well. They're probably only "lesser known" because no one gives them the time of day and so when new people discover their plurality, they're basically spoon fed psychological models and never get a chance to discover anything else for themselves.
