How Do You Spread the "Gonzo" Gospel?



Here I am, after having written 9 books and dozens of magazine and newspaper articles, trying my hand at this (not so) new-fangled medium: the blog. I fought this for years, but I've come to the conclusion that as much as I think that technology and social networks can affect us in negative ways, they can also open up new doors of connectivity like nothing else. And now that I am no longer a congregational rabbi in the conventional sense, I want to start up this online community of seekers, dreamers, thinkers, questioners, doubters, and provocateurs. I have my own gospel to preach—call my approach "gonzo" or "guerilla"—and I plan to start preaching it through this venue. So read my stuff. Write back. Challenge me. Give me kudos or give me crap.  But join this group and jump on the bus with me as we explore this wacky, difficult thing we call the human condition. Come into my tent, sit your butt down, and let's try to figure out--as a community--how to evolve and grow more deeply as spiritual beings, how to critique society, culture, religion, and other trends and tendencies in productive ways, and how to better ourselves and our world by taking the Warrior's Path toward both inner and outer wisdom and transformation.
