A shock of fear runs through the mind! There is no way you can ask someone to help look for him, as he would likely not respond to his name. Matthew would also not understand what he'd done, nor the danger in which he'd put himself.Have you ever been in a room full of people - yet felt completely alone? That is often how I felt when in a public place, with my son. Without warning, Matthew would do something completely bizarre or behave in a typically autistic manner; instantly feeling completely alone and isolated, while being surrounded by other people, who simply had no idea, let alone any understanding, of what had just occurred.No book will write itself! So, despite my ongoing depression and writer's block, over those earlier years, I somehow found the emotional strength, to continue with my journal writing; maintaining a regular diary of Matthew's unusual behaviours and autistic meltdowns. Documenting many of his wonderful achievements and continued progress over the following years - the teenage years.

Humanity has been through much, that is for sure. We have had quite a turbulent history. The reason for this is that we have been seeing each other as separate. Separate from each other and separate from Life itself. We have been running from a guiding principle of evolution that can best be described as 'survival of the fittest'. This means we have been seeing each other as competition in Life. We have had a problem with how we relate to each other. This is a problem that we cannot change through laws, war, religion, or current schooling. This is a spiritual problem, and the solution to this problem is also spiritual. It is to do with our beliefs about Life. The solution to this problem is the guiding principle of evolution, which is best described as 'we are all one'. When we see each other as unified, as the very same Life, we see the oneness in each other. I spent many years observing humanity and seeking a solution to our greatest problems. And the answer I found is in our unity. As a collective, when we can see our oneness and see each other as unified, we will then begin to implement new structures in our society that help us live together in peace and harmony.
