Very interesting article. I agree it's likely a healthy thing to have these "secret lives", as long as you can manage them and they aren't hurting someone else. Historically speaking, they've always been around; just look at ancient Greco-Roman mystery cults, Freemason societies, shamanic traditions, etc. All of these included lives that were apart from the normal one and usually were secret or contained secrets.
I know I have mine. My normal life, in which I'm painfully shy. My online life in which I'm sometimes a crazy exhibitionist. My gaming life, where I build communities and lead them just naturally. I think these are probably good for me to put my entire self in some sort of balance.
