About the Author

Sometime in 1975 Bill Calhoun had a mystical experience, which redirected his life, as he moved into the phase that Jung called the afternoon. Bill started life on a ranch in Sonoma County in northern California in 1932. He was the last child born to a family of three children, grew up doing chores around the place and attended Healdsburg High School. After graduating from high school, he attended Santa Rosa Junior College, where he graduated with the AA degree in 1952 and then entered the U. S. Naval Aviation Cadet Program at Pensacola, Florida. He completed flight training in March of 1954 and was assigned to VC-3 at Moffett Field Naval Air Station. He later transferred to VF-194, a squadron part of Carrier Air Group Nine. He deployed to the Pacific area in early 1956 aboard the USS Oriskany, CVA 34, returning to the States in August. Somehow he made time to marry Lois Ann Heikens, be discharged from the Navy, and enter Stanford University to complete the BA degree. He and Lois moved up the bay to Richmond, where he began graduate studies in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. Two sons were born during this period, and he received the Ph. D. degree in June 1964. Thereupon, the family moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he took a position as an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville campus. He conducted research and taught many courses in psychology. He also served a stint from 1974 to 1985 as Department chair. It was during the stint as head that he had his mystical experience, leading him along the path of the teacher. Upon leaving the headship, he had time to read widely and try out alternative views about the world. During the last several years, he has delved into the area linking psychology to spirituality and religion. This book, From the Warrior to the Sage, is a culmination of years of study. In many ways, Bill Calhoun has traced his personal journey writing the pages of this book.Bill is now retired from the unive
