PASADENA, Calif.—Mr. Glaub, a producer and artist, attended the Los Angeles showing of Divine Performing Arts on Jan. 3. He was deeply moved by the performance, and said “Oh, it’s a wonderful show. I even got emotional the first time I went. One person was singing, and I was with her… and I started crying.” he said, noting that he is not the kind of person to be easily moved.
Mr. Glaub was born in Germany, and received an arts degree in California. He creates jewelry and shoes. He also works as a music producer and VIP event organizer.
“I think it’s an excellent show. I think it brings out the right kinds of ideas for people in terms of spirituality, individual thinking. I think the message is really that, you know, I feel it’s a universal theme that we’re all the same, and we’re all free people,” he said.
He studied under Hans Burkhardt, a renowned Swiss abstractionist, and has had numerous gallery shows in Los Angeles, according to his website. Mr. Glaub’s works are collected by celebrities and foundations, and he has donated works to the Parkinsons’ Association.
“[The show] was just, unbelievable, you know. Music can do that. Without arts…” he said, deep in thought. “We need arts to enliven people, enlighten people. Some people are drawn to the words of wise people, like maybe the Buddha’s monk there—but not everyone was interested in that, because it’s a very austere life, but then, that’s just one route; you can see beautiful arts and entertainment, and that enlivens us too.”
Touching on some of the deeper themes in the show, Mr. Glaub commented that modern culture has become quite materialistic, and that people have forgotten their roots. “I’m a very spiritual person, really, I believe in higher forces, I believe in God. I don’t believe there is a special god for anyone, it’s the same God for everybody, and He has many different names—and I don’t think that the power forgets us; we forget. And when we remember, our lives become better, you know, because it was like, we went back home,” he said.
He continued to reflect and share: “If you have that knowledge, you’re free. Because you realize that the real knowledge is that we’re real spirits, soul, and this is just a covering, this suit we’re wearing. And we’re never born and we never die, we just change outfits. And we reincarnate into higher and lower places. Really, the most important thing we should cultivate is our spiritual life, but because all we care about now is getting a better house, a better iPod, those kinds of things... That’s okay, but if we advance spiritually, we’re much better off, because that’s where it’s at. And you don’t have to come back to this plane to go to a higher plane, you know, or you don’t come back and inhabit a material body.”
He is a respectable age of 61 years old, but feeling, as he said, young and healthy. Mr. Glaub plans to return to see the show next year.
