Our Vision and Profile:
Imagination and Resiliency
LifeCycleJourneys.com, is
dedicated to inform, review and share insights into trends, news, research
and reports from the concepts of Imagination, The use and
Power of Myth and Ritual, Trauma and Traumatic Stress, Wellness,
Resiliency and Spirituality.
The gifts of imagination and creativity were at
the forefront and forethought of many of those who met the challenges of the
twentieth century. While it took centuries to understand the motion of the
celestial universe-our stars and planets, the understanding of the whole world
of subatomic particles is a phenomenon of the 20th century. The pieces of
matter-electrons and nuclei, which make atoms, were discovered in the early
20th century. By the century's end, physicists aided by particle
accelerators formed a provisional consensus that 12 fundamental particles, 6
quarks and 6 leptons, are "bottom line" point-like particles with nothing inside.
These discoveries of the smallest bits of the external world have made our
civilization a better place and time.
Imagination!
Sunrise or Sunset?
Sunrise or sunset.
No matter what the perception, if seen at a
certain time of morning or evening, either can leave one not only speechless,
but breathless as well!
On June 21, 2000, NASA's Mars
Global Surveyor, which has been taking pictures of Mars for the past two years,
found, and continues to find evidence of water. Indeed, our civilization
is poised on the threshold of the next great external conquest--Deep Space.
Imagine further, for a moment, the myriad
possibilities of the ongoing Genome research and subsequent breakthroughs here
at the dawn of our new millennium. As a civilization, we are now ready to
engage the mapping of diseases and myriad anomalies of the human condition.
As the new millennium begins we are all
confronted with the events of September 11, 2001, and its traumatic aftermaths.
The remarkable television footage showing the two airliners taken over by
terrorists smashing into the World Trade Center--and crashes at the Pentagon and
the fields of Pennsylvania verified that we need not be present to experience
the trauma and traumatic stress symptoms associated with overwhelming dramatic
and traumatic events.
These attacks carried threats of further attacks on our
nation as well as our own personhood, requiring our health care facilities and
clinicians to try and be prepared in ways as has never before in our national
history been necessary. Since the main goal of terror is to take
away-erode and disrupt the ongoing flow of a person, group or society, health care and health
care clinicians are not only at the frontlines of our defense, but also are crucial to the safety and security of us all.
And now, we have the our nation's subsequent
and Global situation in Iraq.
At LifeCycleJourneys.com, we will try and pursue
paths of wellness through mindfulness-using imagination and creativity to
seek ways to be helpful and supportive to ways that are possible to make a
difference amid some of the confusions that have been cycled into the dawn of
our new millennium.
