Eugene Halliday
David Mahlowe, Eugene Halliday's close friend and literary
executor has written the following.
The privileged company who knew the author of these works, and experienced at first
hand his boundless wisdom and humanity will know how difficult it is to make credible
to a wider audience the magnitude of his powers.
His own description of himself was simple and invariable; Eugene Halliday, Artist. In
the perfection of its Renaissance application it was exact. In Hermeneutics, Art, Religion
Philosophy and Science, our author was a true Master; man as microcosm, man as mediator
of all things.
Throughout his life, Eugene Halliday worked without cease. The body of his work, written, spoken, drawn, painted, and sculpted, is imprinted not merely on paper and clay, but in the hearts of all those he helped in the spirit of Logos-love. He defined Love as "The willingness to develop the potential of Being wherever it appears". His life was utterly devoted to it until, worn out in love's service, he died in 1987, in his 76th year.
The vast span of the author's philosophical, religious and mystical experience is embodied in his books. Nothing has been added to or taken away from his words.
Of his work, our author wrote, "In my own day, I shall be believed." It is in the confident
expectation ofthat day that these Works are offered to the Seeker for Truth.
