Throughout his life, Stephen’s out-of-body experiences have revealed interactions with environments outside of the physical worlds. In the 1990s, with the help of his mentor, he began investigating his transcendental experiences. He discovered the vast organization and intelligence of his higher self and energetic counterparts in the worlds between lifetimes, what he calls nonphysical environments that profoundly influence the physical world, and learned about the origin of intuition, and creativity. As an artist, Stephen accesses nonphysical resources for his living portrait series, and his writing projects are informed by his higher self providing technical and other detailed information.
