Portrait of the Artist as a Multiple: An Interview With Dr. Coral Hull

Dr. Coral Hull is a talented and inspired writer, poet, artist, photographer, lecturer, and animal rights activist (among other things) currently living in Australia, though what really interested me in her work were her ideas on Neurodiversity, of special importance to her as “a multiple, part of a central psyche housing a system of over 50 selves.” We chatted via email about multiple selves and artistic creation, Neurodiversity, multiplicity and the internet as well as planetary spiritual evolution. You can discover more about Coral at her Thylazine website.

Jason Lubyk: Your website states it that you “are a multiple, part of a central psyche housing a system of over 50 selves.” You are also a prolific poet, photographer, painter etc. I am curious about the relation of your multiple selves in relation to artistic creation. Do certain selves tend to express themselves more than others, or is it evenly distributed among them?

Dr. Coral Hull: In brief it is done by certain selves. Most don’t write. Some don’t speak. Some are not fully aware of this reality. Some are too young to read or write. Others are fragments or animal consciousness. There are four writers. Daniel is the main one. He is a poet and a lover of poetry. He channels the thoughts of other selves, but the work is primarily his own. When he writes about the others they like to read what he has written about them. Bonnie will write poetry alongside Daniel, but hers are more political in nature and she is not interested in poets or poetry.

Jackie has been writing, mainly prose. Bonnie, Witt and Daniel write articles with input from others. It is important for us, that each are able to freely express themselves, as well as this working in the best interests of the system. The children and teens do the drawings. They seem to work in little clusters of co-consciousness, so it is difficult to tell who is doing what and when. The photography is more mysterious. It appears to be taken by several adults, including Witt, Bonnie and Daniel channeling Eve. The kids are also involved.

JL: You also do writing and work in support of Neurodiversity, I guess what could be called “multiple personality liberation.” Why do you think the taboos exist against multiple selves and what motivates their pathologization? Fear of all of our potential multiplicity, the other, or something else?

CH: Many human beings live in a physical (non-eternal) reality. Therefore they feel physically vulnerable to perceived threats. Anything they do not understand, or have control over, is interpreted as a threat to their physical survival. Since not much is known about ‘multiples’ we would naturally fall into the threat category.

So it’s a matter of education. Unfortunately, the misrepresentation of multiples in popular culture has not helped the situation. Multiples are portrayed as mentally and criminally insane, or victims of ritualistic abuse, often under the guidance of god-like therapists who take them on many dollar-filled sessions of discovery in order to reveal the ‘most terrible truth’ which is that we exist in the first place.

This leads to an institutionalized attempt, to have a more dominant self, kill off all the others through a process referred to as integration. The ethical validity of this is questionable. Often selves will pretend to integrate but go into hiding until the danger to their lives has passed. This primitive form of exorcism will be looked back upon as barbaric in decades to come. In the meantime, the ‘reality engineers’ tell us either that we don’t exist, that we are not allowed to exist, that we are dangerous or that we are deluded. The problem with this is that they appear to be addressing one person, when they are looking into the eyes of many.

Personhood is still judged on physicality, that being the appearance of one’s physical body, rather than who one really is, which is limitless consciousness. In reality many selves who are members of multiple systems cope well, have selves-nurturing systems, may or may not have a therapist and contribute to society like anyone else. It really depends on the individuals within the system.

This current misrepresentation of multiples is dishonest and only multiples who adhere to the lie are publicly acknowledged. It’s a little like banning vegan and animal rights ads (along with most other intelligent social dialogue) from the mass media. Meanwhile life for multiples, vegans and many others who do not subscribe to that reality continue, not as outsiders, since we are all connected, but on the outskirts of the mass delusion, where a broader perspective can flourish.

My friends and co-workers accept my multiplicity. It’s just another way of being in the world. People who are promoting multiples as being ‘mentally disordered’, ‘criminally insane’ or as ‘not being allowed to exist’, are either going to have to evolve their consciousness or face the consequences of their own limited worldview as the world evolves around them. More multiples are coming out. Neurodiversity means acceptance of all beings and all systems of consciousness.

JL: With the internet it is common nowadays for people to have a multitude of personalities online, whether it be on message boards, blogs or games and the like. Do you think the increasing presence of the internet may lead to greater tolerance for multiple selves, possibly has some kind of larger purpose to introduce a more expansive experience of consciousness into this world?

CH: On the internet people are not limited by physicality. Therefore they can present as they see themselves to be, engage in role playing and express the many different sides to their natures without being judged on their physical bodies.

It is terrific that the internet has allowed human beings to express the multi-dimensional aspects of their natures. Perhaps all consciousness exists along a spectrum of multiplicity regardless of its physicality. For example; I can think as one complex self who is a primary channel of multiple selves, or we can think as a group or system of co-conscious individuals, talking amongst each other while many of us can think as autonomous selves. Others don’t speak at all since they are telepathic. There are no rules when it comes to consciousness, or how we are allowed to develop, exist or interact. So long as we do not harm others, then anything is possible. It is healthier that all beings are allowed to be who they are.

The whole of consciousness on this planet is part of an interactive multiple system of interconnected selves. A multiple is merely a microcosm of the larger planetary system. All systems need to develop co-conscious awareness in order to function without disorder. At present most human beings may be suffering from a form of MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), because they are unaware of their connection to other life forms that exist in a variety of physical states.

We are all beings at all times for all time. We are all each other. Our ability to become co-conscious and aware of this, will occur as we evolve as a species, who understands that we are a part of planetary and universal systems of being.

JL: Walking With The Angels: The RSPK Journals detailed your many
experiences with poltergeist phenomenon and Recurrent Spontaneous Psychokinesis. What do you think is the real cause behind the
phenomenon, its purpose for us here in this reality?

CH: The “phenomena’ is a physical manifestation of a disembodied consciousness that appears to be guiding and assisting me to continue and complete my task on Earth. Over a period of several years a basic communication has been established. I call them ‘angelic beings’, but they present as interdimensional intelligences. Whatever and whoever they are, we are telepathically linked. We may be evolving into the one being. It is easier to describe the occurrences than to reach any firm conclusion at this stage. I believe that quantum physics will play an important role in answering questions in regards to the relationship between mind and matter … that is assuming that the two can even be separated.

The ‘paranormal’ will become more obvious to people over the coming decades. I believe its purpose is part of the evolutionary process for life on Earth. There is no need for all this unnecessary suffering. This is a symptom of a fear-based delusion. It could be quickly and greatly reduced. There is a rapid expansion in consciousness under way. These are turbulent times. Our societal programming is about to be turned on its head. Nothing we are taught comes close to the truth.

It literally means an entire re-awakening to our limitless potential from the mass hallucination that passes itself of as the real world. The skies only seem to grow darker once we sense the sun is on the horizon. In a field, all flowers are opening to embrace the new day. We only need to know that each of us is as centered as a single flower with the sun in our pollen. The universe will take care of the fields.

JL: Where do you envision the planet evolving (de-evolving?) to – materially, spiritually, technologically – in the near future, 2012, 3010?

CH: This is an individual choice. Whether we go with the flow or drown in the backwash is up to us. People will need to permanently disregard mass societal programming and indoctrination if they want to understand the nature of reality.

We must each align with the Earth and the highest aspects of our consciousness. You will find out more from a variety of multi-dimensional intelligences standing on a beach, than you will from the mass media. It is best to switch off from the negative hysteria and to go within in order to forge a new way forwards.

Once human beings make this choice the conscious universe will assist them. I seem to be living in a different reality. I keep having to re-configure my thinking in order to understand people who subscribe to a consensus reality, or where the species is up to in the societal program. This can make me physically ill. I think this is because our bodies and psyches are rejecting what they no longer require.

Lastly, if I see people feasting on the corpses of murdered sentient beings, I know they have not woken up. For all the new age hype that exists, including in the multiple community, the most radical transformation of human consciousness can be evidenced in the humble and gentle activities of The Vegan Society in the UK. Compassion towards all beings is the basis, the very core of our evolution.

As human beings we have to get that right before we can do anything else. We are not on this planet to harm others. We are here to evolve our consciousness and to assist those in need in wise and loving ways. We are all co-creators and we create realities through our thoughts and through conscious intention. Love remains the most powerful way of being known to us. It has been said that only that aspect of our consciousness continues on into eternity. Our role is to exist as eternal beings while the physical body is still living and to cherish all who exist.
