Richard P GoodwinRichard P. Goodwin was the youngest of seven children, reared by a mother who supported her family by giving spiritual counseling to those in need. Mediumship and spirit phenomena were no stranger to Richard. He first demonstrated his ability as a meium at the age of fourteen. Over the years since then, he has been the instrument through which spirit has been able to communicate to those who sought his help. As a young adult, Richard became convinced that being a medium, through which spirit was able to manifest, brought only temporary solace to those who were witness to it. He observed that people soon became fascinated by the phenomena and ignored the help that spirit was trying to impart. It was then that Richard began to pray in earnest for a teacher from the realms of light. One who could bring through teachings that would benefit any soul who was seeking a path to greater awareness of himself and of God, who is the source of all life. It was in the year 1964 that the teacher Richard had prayed so earnestly for came through for the first time. Richard was at first apprehensive about what this new teacher had to impart. Richard, for the first time, was taken into deep trance and not able to control what was being revealed through him. It was only after the sitting concluded that he was able to listen to the recorded message. He would not take for granted the validity of the message brought through him and determined to test this new teacher before giving way in deep trance to further communication. It was not long before Richard became convinced of the goodness of the teacher and of the simple and beautiful teachings he had to impart, so began The Living Light philosophy. For more than 25 years, he gave, through his mediumship, the classes, lectures, and discourses which constitute the Living Light. Having completed the work for which he came to earth and to which he had dedicated his life, Mr. Goodwin passed peacefully from this earth on February 24, 1989. Read More Read Less
