Additional information
by Niki Dean (Author)
When my world began to shrink it was gradual, it didn't happen overnight. Insecurity and self-doubt became a constant companion in my head, and the evidence of my fallibility became harder to ignore. Everywhere I looked I saw dangerous, fire-breathing (imaginary) dragons.
Trying desperately to ignore it, I worked harder and harder. I saw less of my friends and family. I did less, I became less.
Five years ago, without consciously looking for it, I discovered peace and possibility beyond the perceived certainty and limitations of my own habitual thinking. Having seen how our experience of life and ourself is innocently created in Thought (from the inside-out) my world looks completely different. I spend much less time fighting imaginary dragons. The person I believed myself to be - the avatar of Niki - looks less and less real, and yet I've never felt more like me.
More alive, more ok. More.
