Since 1995 Greg Allen Morgoglione has been a Do-ru (tm) - a singer/songwriter/philosopher actually Living the Lyrics here-now through Audience Inclusion —going beyond traditional venues to create and promote Community Venues, where music is made more accessible to all people. As Time closed in on a decade of hearing local musicians say that they really feel for those poor Others but do not have Time to share music with Them, Greg took into his home what appeared to be an abandoned dog, which he had found sitting by a roadside sign that read: “The Messiah is In.” He quickly learned just how prophetic the sign was when the miniature pinscher began sharing her wisdom with him, challenging him to Look Again at familiar concepts such as Time, Unity, Duality, and the popular notion of Self and Other. Greg soon came to realize that it was he, not Alice, that had been found that day, and his view of life would never again be the same.
Alice became Greg’s co-writer and traveling/performing companion. Together they produced two CDs: Tales of the Uneasy Writer (2006), and It’s Time that Time Was Overthrown (2008). The idea for a companion book for the Time CD quickly grew beyond a book of lyrics to become The Now Exspirientuality, The Way of Unity: Conversations with Dog – Book 1, which “Alice offers up for human consideration.” “Exspirientuality is an Alice word,” Morgoglione says, “a combination of Experiential and Spirituality. Alice has quite a bit of new language for humanity to consider in our quest to experience Unity.”
The Now Exspirientuality: the Way of Unity - Conversations with Dog, Book I is a book for spiritual and artistic seekers ready to realize, those interested in personal growth, and those who want to improve their world. It reveals The One Exercise—an immediately accessible real-time meditation to practice on the streets of your life as a way to enlightenment—Now! Alice challenges the popular Vision of “The Many” struggling to get back to “Unity”, and suggests that the moment we envision Unity it will reveal ItSelf to be staging the joyful play of Being: Unity Diversified.

Grasping At Laws
Grasping At Laws is the band name Greg chose back in the day. It's a reflection of the silly human tendency to grasp at all sorts of laws and rules - man-made, god-made, scientific, religious, societal and so forth - as a means of making sense of life. "Of course they don't", he says. "You call that sensible?"
