Lex Hixon

American poet and teacher (1941–1995) who held membership in several traditions at once and called them parallel sacred worlds. He prayed with a Lakota elder at nineteen, became a disciple of Swami Nikhilananda of the Ramakrishna Mission, took a doctorate on an early Advaita text at Columbia, and was made a sheikh of the Jerrahi Sufi order under the name Nur al-Anwar al-Jerrahi.
