I once knew someone who claimed to be able to "read past lives." His take on Donald Trump was amusing and seemed to me intuitively right on, so I present it here for amusement purposes only, not to claim that it's true. This fellow said that The Donald was once a Pharoah in Egypt, and spent most of that life obsessing over the pyramid and other huge edifices he had built in his own honor. That obsession still holds today in his present life; The Donald is compelled to erect big buildings and *put his name on them*. Ya got yer Trump Towers, ya got yer Trump Casinos, etc. Hearing this made me think of Maharishi and his short-lived fantasy of "the world's tallest building." What a fool's errand, eh? It makes me think of the words of Shelley: I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
