this page is dedicated to the beauty and intricacy that minds are capable of.

here you'll find words and artwork (mostly words) on the theme of alternate realities; other worlds. specifically, we're referring to the very real dimensions that people go to when they are not taking part in "this" world, earth. this is not solely a multiple phenomenon, but most of the people here are multiples.

what are we talking about when we say other worlds? it's the place that we go to when we are not dwelling in this plane. it's as real to most of us as the other, the earth is... more, sometimes. in our experience, multiples especially have a tendency to dwell elsewhere, using a single body as the connection to this world. there's forests, castles, rivers, skyscrapers, cities. the laws of physics may or may not be observed. the laws of nature may be reversed. it's individual to each system, and we thought it was so darn nifty that we wanted to share with you.

some of us see ourselves as travelling between alternate dimensions, with a body being only the portal. some of us see our otherness as created, as somehow 'inside our heads'. this site wishes to honor all viewpoints, while stressing that above anything else: this is real. for us this is not a fantasy story we tell ourselves when we are bored. it is our existence.

enjoy. ~ the myriad
