Lex Hixon is by far my favorite author. It's so sad that he died so young.
From the page: "Lex Hixon (born Alexander Paul Hixon), (Nur al-Anwar al-Jerrahi) (1941-1995), an accomplished poet, philosopher and spiritual practitioner and teacher, extensively explored the truth of the great religious traditions. He documented these explorations in nine books and many articles and teachings given to various groups. Most of his writing focuses on his conviction that all of the great religions are true. This idea was sparked by his reading of the life of Sri Ramakrishna who gave these radical teachings in 19th century Calcutta. It became a passionate conviction for Lex and he made his life a witness to this belief by fully immersing himself in multiple religious practices and studies. This was not a research project, it was an act of faith."

Hello, David,
ReplyDeleteA bunch of friends of Lex Hixon started a Facebook page for him. We'd love it if you would join. The anniversary of his Wedding with the Infinite is Nov. 1st, and we're collecting short informal reflections and impressions on what we learned from him. If you had a few sentences to share, it would inspire at least 121 people! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=49754700981&ref=ts
Blessings of Light,
Matthew
Hello Matthew,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very exciting way to share thoughts of Our beloved friend and teacher. I miss him so!
Sheikh Nur taught me so much, but what is constantly with me is his teaching of the LOVE FOR All OF HUMANITY WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
For me, it is an awareness that's drenched in serenity. Lex Hixon. What a beautiful human being!
Just love,
