-about Garwin
Yes there is a Gar…My name is Garwin Redman, and aside from that being the only idenic I have as a persona here, I am identified by a number of perceptions all arising within the abecedarian purview of the individuals who meet and/or know me.
When I was nine years of age I had by that time, for the last four years read five books a day, everyday. My mother was a major influence in this happy activity because as long as I could remember, she loved to read.
It was also at this age that I informed my mother that I had returned by choice to come to learn again what I already knew. That indeed I had been here before as Garwin Redman countless times.
Now my mother, god bless her Christian soul, asked me what I meant by such a far out statement, and all I could reply at the time is that I didn’t have an adequate vocabulary to satisfy such a claim, but that I knew it with the same certainty as I knew the feel of my right arm. For some this comes as a deja vu’ experience, but for me it was as clear a certainty I was capable of for that age.
As the years flew by I studied Christianity and Judaism from Latin, Greek, and Hebrew texts. Ceremonial and Ritual Magick, Gnotism, and the Mystical reveries of multitudinous Saints and Holy men of these faiths.
I then studied the Vedas, soup to nuts, and fell in Love with Krsna, and the transcendental teachings of the Gita and the Bhagvatam. Following that I studied the teachings of Kirpal Singh, and the Surat Shabd Yoga and it’s western equivalent Eckankar. My first Living Teacher being Paul Twitchell, I had uncovered the dynamics of Soul, this along with the teachings from my dear friend Anthony DeMello, I came fully awake.
But I had not achieved the total realization of pure Awareness.
My true gratitude has always been to friends who encouraged me, supported me (sometimes monetarily) to pursue this understanding of which when I shared it with them enlivened their own engagement of life.
Then I met Robert Anton Wilson who was less teacher and more catalyst in my uncovering the scattered teachings of the Pathless Path. My studies were not so much a pursuit of attempting to discover who and what I am as they were measured by me to determine their efficacy of transmission.
During this same time I was in pursuit of my Ph.d in Psychology and Philosophy along with my (still) lifelong study of Orthomolecular Medicine. Most all of this schooling paid for with Military support. Soon after I
relished the writings of L. Ron Hubbard, even though I have felt no interest in Scientology, L. Ron did break new ground of understanding related in common terms, even if I did feel he was trapped into using a two-dimensional dialectic as a means of transmitting a four dimensional reality.
I met Da, and he was perhaps the first to clearly enunciate and help me gel what my breakthroughs had uncovered as an “experienced” reality for the average individual who needed or wanted answers about the Spiritual domain of understanding. An understanding free of the dichotomy of mind that in its automaticity presents arising contradictions for every premise of thought.
My debt to these great teachers though has never come close to the debt of the people in my life who supported me, nourished me, and Loved me even when I was quite unlovable.
People like Jon Anderson, who with any real spare time and effort has put together www.bewideawke.com. His friendship and belief in me are quite humbling. People such as Corinne Hard who has loved me in more “real” ways than any woman before or since, who is also a Living Teacher of the Pathless Path. She continues to radiate a bright light of hope for me. Holly Stewart, whose fierce protection of me, grants me the space I need to heal myself after being the garbage disposal of the planets negative karmic waste. She also is a Living Teacher of the Pathless Path and has been a source of strength to my wounded efforts. My shadow, Arik Roth Redman, whose brutal and raging intellectual arguments with me. have brought about discoveries in transmission of the Living Truth I would have never dreamt. Thanks evil twin. Jeff Heinzman, C.E.C. A.A.C., who has been the good Shepard and true steward of a teaching he has seen work wonders in the lives he shares it with. He has by his loyalty to our friendship, given me such hope. My Mom, who has been and is not just a very good student, but now teaches this Pathless Path thing, to discover the transcendent qualities awaken in those who listen with open hearts. Jill Clark, who has been not just the finest life partner of all of my lives, but has been my greatest teacher of a teaching I taught her. A teaching that once centered within the individuals states of consciousness, allows them to work to greater levels of awakening than even this teacher. She has ever been my strength of purpose.
I am 54 years of age, to those who are curious, and have helped unlock over 3400 Living Teachers of the Pathless Path, many of which are beyond my own abilities at teaching and sharing this easy and wonderful path of discoveries.
You see, in this teaching, its not me in which the miracle arises, its within you. My most cherished moments of deep gratitude is the trust of those who have shared their awakening with me. It in turn has taught me to
Love the Divine with greater surrender to it within each.
My hope is that I meet each and every one who is now being taught this simple teaching by the others who teach it, because of the Love they have discovered in their connectedness with the Authentic Moment that is all of life.
My prayer is that my friends know I can never repay their Love and Trust, and hope in every way, always, my work is for them.
Love,
Garwin Redman
