Coffee is the beverage of the people of God, and the cordial of his servants who thirst for wisdom. When coffee is infused into the bowl, it exhales the odor of musk, and is of the color of ink. The truth is not known except to the wise, who drink it from the foaming coffee cup. God has deprived fools of coffee, who with invincible obstinacy condemn it as injurious. In it will we drown our adversities, and in its fire our sorrows. - Sheikh Abd-el-Khader, quoted in the Transylvania Journal of Medicine, 1834

The White People A short story by Arthur Machen. I disagree only with his philosophy that such things are intrinsically wrong.
On Integration I happened to be on line when an email came through asking for integration paraphernalia. Here is my reply.
Is multiple personality natural? I want to know what other people think of the idea that multiple personality or the state of being plural is a perfectly natural state of being and neither a "dissociative disorder" nor a clever "coping mechanism for dealing with childhoood trauma." I think both of these explanations for plurality are excuses; they're simplistic and disempowering.
No More Claiming our social rights and getting off the "grid" of the mental health system.
Removing Diagnostic Labels As a diagnosis, MPD/DID does not help multiples in the long run. Doctors and insurance companies make $$$ off us but are WE helped?
How do we know this is our truth? Refuting arguments by well-intentioned survivor multiples who believe we are deluding ourselves.
The Kaycee Nicole Thing My take on a net phenomenon and how it affects multiples.
I occasionally hang out here, where I am alleged to be an admin, at least for the time being.

Ecce domina quae fidet omnia micantia aurea esse, et scalam in caelos emit.
Adveniente novit ipsa, etiamsi clausae sint portae cauponum, propositum
assequitur verbo.
