HELLO, AND WELCOME
|
This site has come into being as part of an urge that's arising in me to create a musical about spiritual awakening:
May all beings be happy, may all beings be free. The premise of the musical: Original Sin. |
|
|
The human soul—a droplet of Universal Consciousness—incarnates temporarily into the manifest universe by taking up residence in a human body and acting as its animating force. When the ego develops in early childhood, the soul 'forgets' its true identity as Consciousness. This is Original Sin.

STEVIEThe first part of the website is about me, Stevie. Where did I come from? What is my personal story? What am I passionate about? What are my musical influences?
In this section you'll find some of my early writing, including stories about pivotal moments in my life; recordings of some of my early songs; videos of me performing songs that are inspiration for the musical; and information about my spiritual journey. I suspect that you'd find something of interest in this section, but it's perfectly fine to skip it and go straight on to check out the musical. You can always come back to it later . . . |

ANGELThe second part of the website is about me, Angel. I'm Stevie's ego . . . and his shadow.
Angel can be shy; Angel can be arrogant; Angel can feel worthless; Angel can be narcissistic. Stevie has tried to get rid of me at various times, but the bottom line is we're on this journey through life together. He's finally admitted I have an essential role to play—to keep Stevie alive. As Angel I may have short-comings, but getting rid of me, or trying to keep me hidden in a box, isn't the answer. In this section you'll find images of me in various outrageous outfits, as well as videos of me making a spectacle of myself. I'm sure you'll find something to have a giggle about here . . . |

The ego is that part of our mind that identifies as an individual entity. Believing ourselves to be separate from other humans, and separate from the rest of the universe, we reside experientially in egoic or separateness consciousness, and we are asleep, spiritually speaking.

Beyond the Mirror: a MusicalThe second part of the website is dedicated to the creation of the musical, currently entitled Beyond the Mirror.
The story of Beyond the Mirror is an extension of my own personal story, but it has much greater scope and universality, and it transcends my personal story by many orders of magnitude. The musical begins, briefly, in the historical Garden of Eden. The remainder of Beyond the Mirror takes place in the near future: the year, 2020 (or whatever year the next US presidential election falls on). Beyond the Mirror depicts ordinary people searching for lasting happiness, fulfilment, and love in the midst of turmoil and strife; in the midst of life. My hope is that it will touch your heart, and inspire you in some mysterious way . . . |
