Versatile Mind
"The Shadow of the Wind" is a story about a writer, who when asked where he got his characters from, said that all the characters were himself. Those are probably the real writer's thoughts about his own characters, even though they ranged from good to evil and every other possible contradiction. But likewise, aren't we all a bit of everyone? Sure, we can't physically take on any form, but our mind is much more adaptable: we can imagine what it's like to be just about anyone, and by doing so, to some degree we become them or like them. All the possibilities are open to us. There is absolutely no limit to what our mind can replicate: even animals, as seen in the Viking berserkers' lycanthropy, a hypnotic state in which they channeled their psychic energy into their unconscious archetype of a wolf's mind.
