The Revelations of Xxenogenesis

By Scott Michaelsen and Louis Kaplan

This is the saga of two authors' 40-year obsession with a 50-year-old secret. It is a book that unpacks the mind-boggling story of an extremely rare New Age private press LP record issued in 1973 by the outsider artist known only as Xxenogenesis, and entitled, SeXxenogenesis #1 . The pseudonymous creator of this LP carefully guarded his identity, but now all can be revealed... It's a tale of celestial androgynes, weeping angels, channeled messages from ascended masters living on other planets, ball lightning strikes, UFO close encounters, extreme bouts of automatic writing, and, in 1971, an incredible event that Xxenogenesis referred to as his "cosmic crucifixion." The book breaks down the LP in several unique ways including: the creator's life as told in his own words; a "DiXxionary" from "A" to "Xx" of more than thirty of Xxenogenesis' most innovative metaphysical ideas; the authors' word-by-word, line-by-line "Xxegesis" of the LP, compiled from a lifetime of careful study and reflection; and a detailed "fantastical" film treatment of the life and times of Xxenogenesis that features thrilling and amazing adventures in the key of mysticism and magic. It concludes with an "Afterword" written by Xxenogenesis' own son who continues his metaphysical researches to this day. If it is not the greatest story ever told, The Revelations of Xxenogenesis may be the strangest! DAVID TIBET ON THE REVELATIONS OF XxENOGENESIS ! This is the story of Xxey and Xxenogenesis--a Theosophical WetDream, an Apocalyptical House of Atypical Dreams, a fantastical narrative of Cartoon Messiahs Channelling Wisdom and WiseCracks, and one of the Oddest Cosmic Theophanies of all time. One has to constantly remind oneself that this account is all True--or as True as Truth gets down here where the Souls Fall and Rise--and indeed Invest and Construct and Do Lots Of Unpredictable Business. Perhaps you are blessed enough to have heard, or even to own, the classic SeXxenogenesis album. And if you did, you will undoubtedly have wondered what it all means. But there was never a chance to get even to the top of it, never mind to the bottom of it, until now. This astonishing and passionate book by Scott Michaelsen and Louis Kaplan is a tumble into one man's mesmerising search for himself and the nature of reality, amongst the bricks and the bric à brac, juggling frauds and faiths, incarnations and discarnate relations. Did Xxey find Xxey, and the Soul of the World? You Betcha, and Etcha , that he did. Now you know you have to read this and find out how and why and where and when--and keep your eyes open very wide indeed! The Truth is In There, and In Here, NOW! --David Tibet, Hastings, 10 May 2022 ERIK DAVIS ON THE REVELATIONS OF XxENOGENESIS ! Mutually obsessed by one of the weirdest and most remarkable spoken word albums from the 1970s, Scott Michaelsen and Louis Kaplantransform their arcane fascination into a left-field exegetical marvel: a religious study and story equally born of fannish detective work, New Agefabulosity, and unabashed love for far-out balls-to-the-wall American mysticism.
