New Book in Progress

Various people have encouraged me to write an autobiography--autobiographys wont sell unless you are a celebrity--so it is really a history of the development of psychiatry, especially drug therapy, from 1970 to the present, in the form of anecdotes from my more than 200 involuntary hospitalizations. It is also a chronicle of my spiritual/magickal quest in the time I was not being hospitalized, to the Goal of the Ideal of Pure Devotion as practiced and taught by the Gaudiya saints, and specifically by HDG Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, whom I have spoken of before on this blog. I have 51 pages done, and God knows how I will come up with another 5l pages, but I think that will be done with it. I tentatively titled it Meds: My life in Mental Hospitals and Beyond--but I might just call it Nutcases and Seekers.
