Merle,

He never sat, but walked.  We mentioned here before that he had some kind of 
awakening looking into the family fireplace when he was 14.

A wordsmith, and probably an Advaita Vedantist, he aped Prof. D.T. Suzuki, or 
tried to, and was not a Zen person himself.  He claimed to be an Entertainer, 
and he was.  His work was given some electricity by the Human Potential 
Movement, and this also gave a kick to his popularity at California places like 
the Esalen Institute.

Do you want to echo some point he made, or something, Merle?  You're on shaky 
ground.  What might it be?
