I wanted to write since I could read, but forty years ago when I was 27, a year after beginning my study in Torah, I began to write. First I wrote a short fantasy, then a series of short stories, then a novel and after that I have only written non-fiction. Essays are convenient ways to comment on recent events.
I began educating myself by reading classics while serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War. After returning to America in 1965, I hitchhiked 30,000 miles before finding my path five years later when I began my study of Torah. After marrying, I drove a truck in New York and then ran a print shop in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While I began my study of the Torah in Brooklyn, New York, it was not until I moved to Sfat, Israel, the place from where the Cabala originated 500 year ago, that I was able to embrace this secret knowledge.
After returning to America, I became a Tarot card reader and won a First Amendment decision for the right to provide Tarot readings in Woodstock, New York. A few years later, I moved back to my roots in California where I fell ill. Uncertain of the time I had left, I began to write. I called it The Dance of the Pig, a cosmological and historical history of the last 266,455,777 years according to the Cabala. It took three years to write five books but with each book, my condition continued to improve until I was completely restored. Soon after, I made San Francisco my permanent residence to pursue my literary goals.
Living with autism has enabled me to gain an understanding of the mysterious self as well as recognition and insights into other areas, specifically the Cabala. It is my belief that autism is a manifestation of a more spiritual being; a perspective I have begun to explore in my writing.
I believe that life is much more spiritual than it is physical. Originally from the Bay Area, I returned from a 45-year odyssey to live in the North Beach district of San Francisco. I have lived through wars, traveled extensively, experienced ultimate joy and endless despair, illness and death. My experiences in life are unusual. If I have learned one thing, it is that knowledge is not owned; it is shared.
I write to change the world with unique perspectives delineating a bright future from the geometry of time and space. My literary works include both fiction and non-fiction. My blog, CabalisticNews, puts daily events into a spiritual perspective; since the Cabala is a series of systematic concepts defining creation, pertinent news put under the microscope of the cabalistic lens renders unusual and surprising results.
