Shelly Trimmer (1917-1996) was born in the "Pennsylvania Dutch” country of the eastern U.S. and was profoundly interested in spiritual, magical and scientific matters from a very early age. During the late 1930s, he traveled to California to locate a spiritual teacher in the Coptic tradition (Hamid Bey) but finding that teacher to be out of state on a speaking tour, he went on to meet Paramahansa Yogananda , from whom he learned the techniques of Kriya Yoga.
After three years living under Yogananda’s tutelage, he returned to Pennsylvania where he intensified his meditative and occult studies, choosing to remain independent of any formal group or organization.
Shelly eventually married, raised a family and moved to a relatively remote part of northern Minnesota, partly to avoid the problems that come with increased attention. Years later he moved to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where he continued working with students, enjoying time with his wife and friends, sailing the nearby waters.
