It has long been a practice of celebrities to change their names; sometimes to hide that they are from a prejudicially looked down upon ethnic group and other times just to give their names more flare—such as “Max Power” which is a name that Homer Simpson got from a hair dryer.
Interestingly enough, within the Bible we find that name changes reflect a change in character, when the new name will reflect the person’s new circumstances, etc. Examples are Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, very tellingly from the book of Ruth 1:20, “Do not call me Naomi [beautiful]; call me Mara [bitter]” and lucifer (light bearer) to satan (adversary).
Generally speaking celebrities have their personal life personalities and then their celebrity personalities (which, of course, bleed into each other to whatever extent). Yet quite often, celebrities will develop further personalities such as when they work on special projects as was the case when country musician Garth Brooks created an alter ego, Chris Gaines, in order to put out a non-country album.
Thus, some celebrities end up with alter egos upon alter egos upon alter egos. In some cases, this seems to go beyond merely playing a character and the psycho-emotional-spiritual line is crossed into what appears to be full blown multiple personality disorder / dissociative identity disorder (MPD/DID). Other times celebrities appear to be, and admit to be, possessed.
These may come about due to the occult of many of these celebrity’s personal beliefs and practices and may relate to what is known as MK Ultra or Monarch trauma based programming.
Upon the heels of our article Are celebrities different from the average person?, we note that there is a difference between the sort of acting whereby you pretend to be someone else and the sort of acting whereby you become someone else.
Some actors, such as Nicolas Cage (see Nicolas Cage occult “Nouveau Shamanic” acting method) no longer want to “act” but want to become their characters and do so via occult rituals.
And so you have a person, who has a public and a celebrity persona, who has an alter ego, who ends up taking on multiple characters/spirits. Even if we are just dealing with actual acting in a movie; the character is mused upon, contemplated, discussed, developed, acted out in preparation of the role and since shooting a movie may take a year or more, on and off, the character becomes, to whatever level, a part of the actor.
Add to this various occult beliefs and practices plus immoral lifestyles along with drug and alcohol use and you have a volatile mix which represents an open door to demonism.
Consider the gushing statements about Leonardo DiCaprio in an article about the movie Total Eclipse:
This is a stunningly emotional movie!…I was mesmerized by the performances! DiCaprio’s portrayal…is so stunning that he actually shines on screen…the unfailing performances…throw themselves wholeheartedly into their roles…
DiCaprio’s father stated in the context of Leonardo’s portrayal of Arthur Rimbaud (who is regarded as the founder of modern French poetry) in the movie Total Eclipse:
I think he’s like a medium, not like a character. He opens his body and his mind to receive messages that come from another person’s life. I think maybe Rimbaud was a medium, visited by extraterrestrials and Leo also has this capacity!
One website commented, “DiCaprio’s father started to realize the talent that his son possessed”—yeah, exactly, possessed!
Director A. Holland is quoted as having stated something very similar:
Leo is like a medium. He somehow opens himself up and receives the other person’s soul and mind.
Here are some more relevant statements:
Jeykll and Hyde…More than two. I’m so many people. They shock me sometimes, I wish it was just me.
—Marilyn Monroe
I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me.
—Oprah Winfrey
You feel the spirit move you. I can be possessed really well.
—River Phoenix
Yeah literally it’s like a possession. All of a sudden you’re in. It’s like an energy that keeps going.
—Robin Williams
When I went away, I left my body and I could hear other voices. A spiritual message really. It would all just come out, as if I were in a trance. It would scare me to read it because it seemed to belong to another place.
—Roseanne Arnold
I simply channeled a character, this time I allowed the character to inhabit me.
—Shirley MacLaine
There’s this one particular relative who was my age when she died. I have had this feeling she was there guiding me and helping me with my performances.
—Winona Ryder
I’m going to do my best to channel the character on a spiritual level.
—Vin Diesel
I know that I have demons. I don’t know if I want to get rid of them altogether, but I would like to experience them in a different way. Maybe go face to face with them. I’ve never really had the time to go to therapy. Well, here and there. But not enough to help me…
Of course I have demons. I’m thirty different people sometimes
—Johnny Depp
MK Ultra refers to admitted CIA experiments on how to purposefully creation of multiple personalities / a dissociative disorder, memory loss, mind control, etc. employing everything from hypnosis to hallucinogenic drugs and from shock therapy to implanting devises.
What is surprising is that the purposeful development of multiple personality disorder / dissociative identity disorder has not become hip, the in thing to do. Surely in the near future it will become trendy to purposefully develop MPD/DID—perhaps under the auspices of the transhumanist / transhumanism movement.
People with merely one personality will be looked down upon as un-evolved. Perhaps this will even become a fill in portion of resumes, “I’m the person you’re looking for. I have a personality who is very aggressive and can plow down the competition. I have a personality who gets along splendidly with co-workers. I have another one that is a math wiz,” etc., etc., etc.
As noted in our article The meaning of Lady Gaga’s recurring nightmare: her alter egos (MPD/DID?), Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta has the following alter egos/MPD/DIDs: Lady Gaga, Jo Calderone, Mother Monster and she has also referred to herself as Gypsy Queen.
Here are some others:
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson has the following alter egos/MPD/DID: Katy Hudson, Katy Perry, Kathy Beth Terry.
Madonna Louise Ciccone simply shortened her name to Madonna and then changed it to Esther—and perhaps some others, although they may just be nicknames, such as Boy Toy and Material Girl.
Azealia Amanda Banks: Miss Bank$ and Yung Rapunxel.
Marshall Bruce Mathers III: Eminem and Slim Shaddy.
Onika Tanya Maraj has various also: Nicki Minaj, Cookie, Harajuku Barbie, Nicki Teresa, Rosa, Roman Zolanski, Martha Zolanski, Martha, Nicki, Roman and Onika.
In this case the alter egos/MPD/DID were actually the result of trauma as, “While growing up, Minaj’s home life was often chaotic, with her parents constantly fighting. As a means of escape, she would create characters and live her life through them. In an interview with New York she stated, “To get away from all their fighting, I would imagine being a new person.” For example, Roman Zolanski “was born inside her, out of rage, and becomes him when she is angry. She has also said ‘He is a demon inside her’” and “He’s the boy that lives inside of me. He’s a lunatic and he’s gay…”
For whatever reasons we have very many celebrities who are emotional, psychosocial and spiritual wrecks. They are constantly seeking a personality which will fit them the best and end up with various of what are something in between or a concoction of alter egos, MPD, DID and possession.
There are three main methods of invoking any deity…The third method is the dramatic, perhaps the most attractive of all; certainly it is so to the artist temperament, for it appeals to his imagination through his aesthetic sense.
—Aleister Crowley, The Equinox of the Gods
