AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER:

ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER: Here is a dilemma. What would you do if, as a writer, you stumbled on a real life story experienced by another person that was so extraordinary, so potentially world changing, and had been instructed by 'angels' to be written? You would have to write it, wouldn't you? And what if you realised as you were doing so that some of the very language, words and descriptions you were using that were true and essential to the veracity of the story were by their very nature misleading and would reinforce preconceived beliefs?

The very word 'angels' is one - real existences to some, fantasies and delusional emotional crutches to others.

And if the story explained how scientific thought, from natural selection to quantum mechanics, was simply another aspect of its 'apparent' opposite - universal consciousness, timelessness and the continuation of the life force then it really would be something, wouldn't it?

And then, if it is posited that there is on Earth a person whom religions would call 'Messiah' (Christian); Mahdi (Islam) or Krishna (Hinduism) and would be the essence of every other belief on the planet, who will emerge into the world and prepare it and all life in existence to shift to a new evolutionary state (meaning all religions, politics and human organisation would dissolve and change), then that would be the biggest story around.

Especially as this person cannot read or write.

Which is why the book 'Angel On My Shoulder' had to be written.

Publishers and editors, however, will probably be unable to grasp the reality of the book and the story. So much so that I have to describe it as fiction. It may not fit in to a publishing market. There must be a brave and heroic publisher out there somewhere.

Even if cynical, just think of the PR spin - a book that angels prophesied would be written.
