Spiritlink is maintained by the woman who wrote My Name is Legion (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0966229916/astraeaswebmulti), which is a work of fiction based very loosely on the Sarah case (http://www.astraeasweb.net/plural/sarah.html). She became involved with the case because of her work in trying to reform the criminal justice system. She knew Sarah personally, yet the book is the usual sensationalistic nonsense. When she was writing to us in 1999, She told us that at least part of this was demanded by her editor.

She initialized our email correspondence, saying that we were "on the same wavelength". At the time, she was an adherent of the Seth Speaks material by Jane Roberts, and signed her emails "In Love and Light". Her explanation of multiplicity was based on it. In some cases of extreme trauma and abuse one's Greater Self creates sub-selves to help cope, which then become persons in their own right. This only works for people who have developed a "psychic blueprint" of creative genius through past lives. This explanation was based on Seth's (or Jane Roberts') ideas of personality which he said were "akin to quantum physics" because the mind is "made of unlimited energy".

One thing we appreciated was her annoyance with people who get a fixated idea of what kind of people a multiple system is apt to include. She'd apparently run into a number of doctors and legal professionals who insisted that every group has an "abuser alter" and make judgments based on that.

Sychic blueprint? Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!!!!! ::Blows monstrous raspberry:: About the only thing we agree on are the "there doesn't have to be sychos in there" part. Half-blehk then.
