The Six Thousand

Claire Berlinski received her doctorate in International Relations from Balliol College at Oxford University. She has since lived and worked in Britain, Thailand, Laos, France, and Turkey as a journalist, academic, consultant and freelance writer. Her latest book Menace in Europe explores the mystery and ekpyrotic future of this surreal yet important continent. We’ve often thought of Europe as the charming continent of windmills and gondolas. But lately, Europe has become the continent of endless strikes and demonstrations, bombings, radical Islamic cells in every city, and murders for speaking frankly about Islamic immigration. This isn’t the Europe we thought we knew. What’s going on over there? (A secret photo of Dr. Berlinski can be found here.)

My friend Dr. Coral Hull is a respected writer, poet, photographer, editor, and publisher. The last time we chatted, she told me, "I am a multiple, part of a central psyche housing a system of over 50 selves." In particular, she is autistic and is a multiple personality. In some sense, she is a composite entity that can speak as one person (singular) or as many (plural) when required.

She would like to be an example to other multiples and autistics to show them that they can still be who they are and contribute in a positive, responsible, ethical and loving way to human society and the well being of life on Earth.
