“The most potent lesson relayed to Brian Delate from the transcendent beings is about the value of life. We cannot give up on it, no matter what.” John Lavitt for the Hollywood Times Guardian Angels reveals how the angels on earth and beyond can guide and direct us. In 1973, a profound event, in the form of a dream, transformed Brian Delate’s life. Was it a close encounter? An Out-Of-Body experience? Or a visit from “The Great Beyond?” You decide. “A kiss from the Universe.” Academy Award-winning actress, Ellen Burstyn Brian served in the Vietnam War as a decorated non-commissioned officer. The path after coming home was destructive, but real-life guardian angels intervened to guide him in a life-affirming direction. The dream came later, but its impact would alter his thinking and behavior forever. “I was blown away.” Tim O’Brien, novelist and veteran Written & performed by Brian Delate. Directed by Robert Murray Duncan.
