In becoming a mystic and a shaman he has, in the parlance of Carlos Castaneda's shaman/teacher, Don Juan, he has lost his shields, has lost his normal human defences against the psychic, telepathic, and emotional emanations—positive and negative—of those with whom he interacts. Because of this, he lives in solitude and accordingly must remain anonymous.

Since the Internet has become, quite literally, an incomprehensibly vast and complex Indra's Web, not only of billions of computers and exabytes of electronic information, but an equally vast and complex Indra's Web of psychic, telepathic and emotional information, not all of it positive and healthy, and against which he lacks the shields to protect himself, Gregory spends very little time enmeshed in that Web and is not entangled in any social media sub-webs.

The Muse and Man Press logo installed here in lieu of a picture of Gregory, represents a vision manifested 40 years ago to Gregory by his Muse, the wise and knowledgeable, non-physical Being who inspires all his written works. It is a stylised representation of a large bird enfolding within its wings a smaller bird. Symbolically, on a basic level, this represents that non-physical Being embracing Gregory's spirit-being and inspiring his writing, while on a more expansive level, it represents a family of such Beings embracing Humanity and inspiring its spiritual evolution. The visionary inspiration for it was given in conjunction with the refrain from John Denver's song, The Wings That Fly Us Home:
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens.
It fills the endless yearning of the soul.
It lives within a star too far to dream of.
It lives within each part and is the whole:
It's the fire and the wings that fly us home . . .view less
