Henry
FitzGerald Heard (1889 – 1971), commonly called Gerald Heard.
British-born American historian, science writer, public lecturer,
educator, and philosopher. He wrote many articles and over 35 books.
Heard was a guide and mentor to numerous well-known Americans,
including Henry Luce and Clare Boothe Luce, and Bill Wilson, co-founder
of Alcoholics Anonymous, in the 1950s and 1960s. His work
was a forerunner of, and influence on, the consciousness development
movement that has spread in the Western world since the 1960s.

"He described Heard as 'archetipally Irish, like a big leprechaun, with
red hair and flashing eyes' and as 'tremendously charismatic'". https://books.google.it
