It was a loss, but not a permanent one. The whirlwind arrival of the World Wide Web provides a place where Anima can live on in electronic form. We are now in the process of building a place where you can enjoy some of the best articles, interviews and other creative works that were published over the years. Through the first years, it became clear to the editors that the experiment in which we were all engaged was one of human experience . Anima had a new identity and, while we didn't understand it at the time, a new purpose for being.
Human experience is tied directly to the many facets and levels of relationship.
Health and wholeness occur in the context of the nurturing relationship, compassion and trust in the loving relationship, understanding and wisdom in the teaching relationship, discovery and accomplishment in the working relationship. Even artists and scholars who create in solitude need mentors and community if their work is to grow and evolve, to speak and instruct. To put it simply, we need one another. But we need more than one another. The importance of this aspect of relationship is finally beginning to re-emerge, having been suppressed for centuries by the Western technological mindset.
