I have a million excuses for the hard copy
version of Illuminations going from a quarterly venture to a semi-annual
one then to a very sporadic publication. All my excuses are quite creative
too. I even thought about sending out a flyer listing my really valid
reasons, but as fate would have it, my hard drive crashed; I lost my
entire mailing list. It was at this point, I finally gave in to the notion
that perhaps some important things had to happen before I wrote another
word. And happen, they did.
Those were "the old
days" when postage for snail mail cost me an arm and a leg; the old
days, before I had a staff of editors and writers. Illuminations began in 1996 as a newsletter which
addressed general health issues. Since then, I have realized that healing
is only one facet of becoming compassionately wise or, in a word,
enlightened. Consequently, the newsletter has taken on a kind of
life, having evolved into a many-colored thing with a seemingly strong will to
follow its own unique path towards perfect understanding. I am this
metamorphic creature’s creator, but though I marvel at its growth, I
also try to keep in mind that its transformations have not only mimicked my own
but now, those of our editors, contributors, and of course our readers. When
Halcyon Illuminations made its way into Cyberspace in 1999, another
transformation took place. As new
illuminations arrive and as we continue to create, Illuminations will continue
to adapt and emulate.
Our Purpose
The pages throughout Halcyon Illuminations Online will
allow you to explore the fascinating realms of healing all aspects of
life. It is our sincerest belief that part of attaining good health
involves achieving an understanding of the body, mind, emotions and
spirit. Each affects the others intimately and sometimes subtly.
Therefore, the achievement of excellent health involves the wholeness of
being and, in essence, a profound understanding of one's Self. The purpose of Illuminations
is to assist in that journey towards awakening and to share resources
for the inevitable journey after it.
