During the period I was writing the comparison between Donald Trump and Gorgeous George, I by chance was reading Bob Dylan’s memoir and saw his story about meeting Gorgeous George… It struck me that George was a Trickster figure, evoking different responses depending on the context. For awhile now, I have been thinking about the nature of fate and destiny, particularly from the perspective of the mythologist Michael Meade. Now I saw an opportunity to put it together. The result was
this piece I just sent to The Huffington Post.

I just published an article on Huffington Post called The Politics of Intolerance.

I just published my insights on this intriguing question in the Huffington Post… Here’s how the article starts:
“I don’t want to start rumors, but Gorgeous George the wrestler was thirty-one years old, and already famous, when Donald Trump was born in the borough of Queens, New York City, 1946. Now, I don’t know if it was possible, but with all that travel George did, could he have had a liaison with Donald’s mom? I’m not saying it’s true or not, but I was raised in Queens as well, not that long afterward, and I know for a fact there was plenty of adultery and illicit affairs. So go put two and two together, if you know what I mean.”

Reb Zalman passed over today. I’ve known he has been slowly slipping away and was preparing himself and others for this day. Still, my spirit is heavy, and my gratitude overflowing.
This is a photograph from a time we had together in Colorado. We were exploring ways to enter states of consciousness that would allow healing energies to be directed to what he called “hot spots” in the world. To do so required joining with other forms of spiritual intelligences and with personal guides both living and dead.
Reb Zalman embodied a curiosity, boldness, brilliance, and warmth that blew sacred breath on the embers of our souls. I am grateful.
