Dimensions of Reality

It is possible to view reality as though there are two separate dimensions. The first we will call the God dimension, and the second the human dimension (other creatures experience life in their own dimensions). The God dimension represents absolute awareness, which we can presume that God has all the time. Everything in the universe,…

Earlier this week I had a medical review with my psychiatrist and care coordinator.

Fighting stigma: Are things really changing?

I recently took part in an anti-stigma photoshoot for The Sun newspaper.
