Testimonials

11/2008: "Physicists Give up and Go Home; Miller Has It Covered: Dear Ms. Miller; I admit that I am impressed with your intuitiveness even if how you arrived at your reasoning is not clear. I see you are familiar with the work of Prof. Hal Puthoff though. I particularly like the postulation that "gravity is enfolded EM potential". As a theoretical physicist having worked on loop quantum gravity for a number of years, I have found that at least personally, I believe this to be the case. (Although I am not at all the advocate for gravitons!) Many of your statements show that you have understood most of the hard-to-grasp areas of physics and I would be interested in discussing them with you. What is your technical knowledge with regards to experimental physics and engineering applications? Perhaps you could apply yourself to hot nuclear fusion, we're all struggling with that... -- Warm regards, Pascal"

I'm sitting here writing a testimonial to someone who, over the past several years, has become a very close friend. It's a humbling experience. It somehow seems very superficial to list her obvious qualities (beauty, brains, compassion, creativity, insight, perspicacity, artistic skill, humor, wit). Instead, I'm invited into a space where such words become superfluous, and the only thing left is essence. There are many people in the world whose "qualities" are limited to the personality level, but who have nothing substantive behind their persona. Not so for Iona, whose discerning, open-hearted Sagittarian optimism and generosity of spirit burns bright behind the mask of personality. How would I want to conclude a testimonial such as this? By opening my own heart. By thanking her for being there as a friend. By offering my very best to her in return, knowing that if I let go of the trapeze and did a triple summersault in mid-air and without a safety net, she'll be there to catch me. As Lenore Kandel said in a poem with a similar conceit, it will be Io's turn next time! And I'd be there to catch her! -Michael

Eilan says, "No less a kabbalist expert whose writings have inspired and invigorated my understanding, but a polymath of the highest order. My hat I take off to you."

I ADORE Mademoiselle Iona! If the concept of "joie d'vivre" had not previously existed, they would have had to invent it in her lovely honor! -Veronique

Cyber-Goddess, Cosmic guru. Someone with a sence for the right direction, sister of light and dark, trading places in a spark ! -Sacred Buffalo

I have only just recently (two days ago!) discovered your writings and I 'thank you' sincerely for your work, you have inspired me to glow once again...I have been rather bored lately.....hungry for I don't really know what....but after reading your work I am feeling just bright eyed and bushy tailed! Well fed and ready to continue my journey! - Pamela

I am aware that you are involved in at least several traditions that are of interest to me and I was wondering if you ever take on students (probationary or otherwise). I keep finding myself going back to things I have found in your writings. Some provide answers and often new questions. -Brendan

"a clearly pragmatic mystic with great practical wisdom." -Michael 12/09
