Welcome dear reader, my name is Emerald. From late 2016 to early 2025 I went through a series of intense acute psychotic episodes involving 4 stays in mental hospital in the South East and Norfolk, though distressing at times I actually went on the transformational spiritual adventure of my life during this period. The adventure included living in the woods whilst working as a forester, not sleeping for 10 nights straight in hospital and meeting amazing people from all walks of life. During this time of psychosis I did a lot of poetic writing on the imagination, the Universe and way beyond, with the main focus being the true nature of reality as I perceive it. This book is a collection of these writings, they delve deep into the madness I experienced and I hope give a great example of the Human spirit's triumph over adversity. The chapters are generally short, read them in any order you like, though I recommend reading them in order the first time. My writing blends visionary sci-fi, philosophical reflection, and autobiographical testimony into, I hope, a magical narrative odyssey exploring the imaginary boundaries of cosmic mythos, scientific futurism, and personal reflection. Reality has been decoded. It's a magical World, I'm glad to be a part of it with you. Emerald
