Thank you so much for your patience during the last few months when there was no update on this website about The Crystal Academy or my new book, CRYSTALLINE ILLUMINATION. Now I have quite a story to tell.

As you may know, I have been working on this new book for a long time. Finding the right publisher for this book to be printed in English was a challenge but once found, in 2008, I had hoped to have the book published in 2009. But the process was very slow in happening. Finally in December of 09 progress was being made and I was hoping that the book would be out by Christmas, but it was not. By January of 2010 I was assured that the book was going to press and I was very excited to finally welcome it to the world and make it available to you. As the book was going to press I heard from the publisher that his company was going out of business and would not, after all the work that had been done, be publishing this book.

After wrestling with this for a couple weeks, I decided to self publish. Never in my life did I desire to become a publisher, nor did I know anything about how to go about it. It was a huge personal challenge and I climbed onto a very steep learning curve working directly with design artists, book printers, distributors, on line sales reps., etc. I literally fell off that steep learning curve a time or two and felt completely lost in that arena but thanks to the kind and patient people that were working with me the job has finally been done!!

CRYSTALLINE ILLUMINATION has been successfully published and is now available through this website and on Amazon, and soon to be in bookstores. (To find on Amazon search my name, remember the last name has two ll’s: Raphaell)

I am so happy to finally present Crystalline Illumination, The Way of the Five Bodies to you and thank you again for your patience and support during the long process of making this book a reality. I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
