Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.
Youth, Depression, and the Endless Ocean
On a clifftop in Hastings, half a mile from anywhere stands a bench made from the logs of nearby trees, joined with large, rusted bolts. Ten paces south, the cliff gives way to open air; a dead drop onto crumbled, jagged rocks entwined in seaweed, mossy stones, flotsam, jetsam, moist sand. A fence — decaying wood, blunted barbed wire, no more than five feet tall — skirts this precipice. Sparse cirrus clouds wisp gently, framing the midday sun.

Raw materials.
I suddenly realised that I don’t have to feel great in order to write. Nor do I have to be inspired and connected to the higher power. It is ideal of course to create from that place. But this world is far from perfect, and so am I. If anything, I doubt that a truly creative person can feel great at all times; their sensitivity is a double edged sword after all. And for the most part, we don’t live in the society that accommodates those with a deeply feeling nature.

I am clear
I am clear, thanks to L. Ron Hubbard, Willy Chirino for leading me to Scientology, indirectly, and Scientology itself. I have solo syndrome and I had a problem with picking and reading how to go clear it saved me and for that I am truly grateful. For a great while I needed something to help me cure my problems due to Sotos syndrome and skin picking on all of this and I had sent away for the free introduction to Scientology book and I would read it and study it and in that book, I found the cure for myself, a eureka moment if you will.

The Invisble amongst us . Top Story - May 2024.
"In January 2021, I was driving to see my mother at a local hospital. Traffic halted suddenly, and I was so happy I did not strike the vehicle in front of me. I gazed up in my rear-view mirror just as the vehicle behind struck my little sub-compact vehicle. "

Unveiling the Mysteries
The clandestine corridors of secret societies and clandestine fraternities hold tightly guarded knowledge that has been passed down through the ages, shrouded in mystery and secrecy. This ancient wisdom, dating back to the dawn of civilization, was once widely known but has since retreated into the shadows, accessible only to the select few initiated into these esoteric orders.
