John Greven was born in 1961 in Oklahoma. At the age of eighteen he was struck by the idea that the creator of the universe couldn t be as limited as he'd been taught. This began a search that took him through various religions, philosophies, metaphysics, and meditation. The search went on at various levels of intensity and commitment for twenty-five years. In 2004 a meeting with John Wheeler contributed to bringing the search to an abrupt end as the simple and obvious truth was seen.
