Galen Sharp

After leaving high school, I decided to "hobo" around Europe seeking adventure.
I lived by selling sketches and doing portrait drawings in the cafes and bars of Paris.
By selling my drawings, I worked my way across Europe and North through
Denmark to Stockholm, Sweden, where I worked in an animated film studio.
Then I traveled back down through Germany, Holland, Belgium, France and Spain
and off the coast of Africa to the Canary Islands.

Eventually I worked my way back up to Stockholm again. A few years of adventure
later I returned to the United States where I married, started a family and spent a
number of years as a commercial artist, illustrator and creative director for advertising agencies.

In the 1960s, I and my wife, Barbara, started a private "group home" for x-street
people. During that time I authored a book on philosophy and religion, "The Present
Kingdom of God," published by Fleming H. Revell.

In an amazing coincidence I met author Paul Reps who was doing a workshop in Colorado and asked me if I had ever heard of Wei Wu Wei an author I admired. Mr. Reps said that he had just come from visiting him in Monaco and gave me his address and real name, Terence Gray. This was the beginning of my extensive correspondence with author Terence Gray. Later W.W.W. introduced me to Douglas
Harding who had visited me on one of his trips to the US.

I developed a correspondence program based in these insights called "The Wholemind Intuitive Research Program", which drew thousands of members from all over the world. I also conducted seminars and workshops. I was still occasionally
doing illustrations and a full-page color illustration of my was published in Omni
magazine in 1980. The same year, New Realities magazine published my article
"Stargate: Humanity’s next glorious step?"

Several years ago I felt the need for a more private, simplified everyday life for
me and my family as well as a need to further deepen and mature this nderstanding.

I withdrew from teaching and speaking and returned to school to obtain a degree in
computer science and became an Oracle computer programmer. Then an essay of mine,
"An Exploration of Non-Volitional Living," appeared on the internet. The response to that essay, lead me to pen my latest book, not yet published, "What Am I?: A New Model of Reality".

An Exploration of Non-Volitional Living originally appeared in 1993 and is now also found on many websits.

I was asked to write the foreword for the latest edition of "Ask The Awakened"
by Wei Wu Wei, published by Sentient Publications in 2002.

The Dutch publication, "In Zicht" published a four page article with my essay in their
November 2007 edition.

Some of my other interests are R/C model aircraft, unexplained phenomena, OBE, levitation and electrogravitics and various other things.

Presently, I am sculpting and writing,still following my Sense of Wonder.
