It is with a heavy heart that I announce the loss of our Master Teacher Steve Westin.

May we always remember to live in his lessons. 

It is with humility and respect that we continue his teaching.

Stephen Charles Westin (AKA) Merlin: Calcium Commander TM 

Stephan  Charles Westin was born in San Diego, California on March 18, 1944. At  age 4 he moved with his grandparents to Freeport, Minnesota where he  resided until age 14.  Freeport is a rural farming community and this is  where Steve began his love for the soil and all things connected to the  Earth. One of his favorite pastimes was walking through the fields in  the spring collecting rocks and keeping the interesting ones to add to  his collection. Steve was introduced to the fascinating world of  astronomy by his neighbor who owned a telescope and loved sharing the  mysteries of the universe with everyone.

Steve's grade school  training was at Sacred Heart and thanks to the Benedictine Nuns and  under the guidance of a kind Benedictine Priest, Father Lionus, he  learned the value of living a moral and ethical life and those same  values have directed him throughout his life.

At age 14 Steve  moved back to San Diego with his parents and attended University High  and Grossmont High School.  Coming from a school with less than 100  children in the entire school to high schools with 1000's in each grade  was definitely a shock. Due to his upbringing, Steve was able to remain  focused on his academics and embraced the different cultures. After high  school Steve moved to Berkeley and worked with his father on moving  vans learning 3D packing and loading. This is where he realized his  ability to master space and saw it as a challenge and a mathematical  puzzle.

 Steve joined the Army and was trained in Helicopter  Mechanics. He obtained the rank of SP5 and also served as a Flight  Operations Specialist. While in Vietnam Steve visited the Buddhist  monastery often, he was curious and wanted to learn more about the  culture. While talking with the Buddhist Monks he asked if he could  study under them, they told him to go out and “study his way first”.

Returning  from Vietnam, Steve was stationed in Oklahoma in the Legal Department,  JAG. One of his duties included serving papers to prisoners. On one of  those occasions, a prisoner handed Steve a book by P. D. Ouspensky, “The  Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution”, which eventually led him to  the discovery and studies of the Fourth Way developed by G. I.  Gurdjieff.

 Steve used the G. I. Bill to continue his education  at San Diego State University where he majored in Geology.  His degree  in Geology secured him a position with Megcobar a division for Dresser  Industries. He received cutting-edge training in their Petro Division  which earned him a certificate and title of “Mud Engineer”. Working on  the first Geothermal and High Pressure wells in El Centro and Geyser  areas he helped develop the method used for drilling these types of  wells. After several years in the “field” Steve reached a pivotal  juncture; he was very ill and the doctors had no real answers on what  could be done to help him. It was at this time Steve took control of his  life.

 He met an elderly woman at a health food store that  changed his life!  She introduced him to the teachings of Dr. Carey  Reams. Steve continued working and attended many classes Dr. Reams  presented in the 70's and until Dr. Reams death. Steve is convinced that  learning and living “Reams Biological Theory of Ionization” transformed  not only his health, but his entire life.  Dr. Reams had inspired Steve  not only to change his lifestyle but to share his knowledge of RBTI as  taught to him by Dr. Reams.

 Steve had been introduced to many  other sciences such as;  Orgone by Wilhelm Reich, electricity by Nicola  Tesla, color by Col. Dinshah, radionics by Peter Kelly, Body Electronics  by Dr. Robert Becker, Iridology by Dr. John Ray, water by Viktor  Schauberger and Johann Grander in Austria, ley lines by Ken Killik and  many others.  Steve was fascinated with these sciences and wanted to  dedicate more time to study and gain knowledge of their practical uses  in everyday living. He then made the decision to resign from his  position with Dresser Industries.

Steve's next stop was Green  Bay, Wisconsin, where he developed and implemented his years of study  working with dairy farmers and turning that knowledge into the wisdom.   In the past 30 plus years Steve has built a reputation as a master  teacher, lecturer and developer of products to bring soil, plant, animal  (2 & 4 legged) to their highest genetic potential, Steve termed  this process as ionic-bio plating. His ultimate prayer is to share his  knowledge and understanding of healthy living and good food, providing  the tools needed to help others understand that food must be  grown/raised by a husband/wife of the soil.  The ancient ones engineered  everything in their lives and practiced good science, which is why they  lived for hundreds of years.

Steve resided in Otsego, Michigan  with his wife Mare` and grown children, spouses and grandchildren. Steve  has dedicated his life to these sciences and continues to develop and  share his knowledge with others. He has been very busy teaching,  lecturing, and working with people of all walks of life. Steve lectures  on many types of sciences and teaches them purely with respect to each  “Master” in their particular field. It is in the development and  practical implementation that Steve uses the term “the harmonious  development of art and sciences” in which he combines his knowledge of  all the sciences and intertwines them to create a harmonious  environment.

Stephan Charles Westin is survived by his  wife, Mare (Wangerin) Westin; daughters, Brenda Conrad and Amanda  (Conrad) Banas and her husband Anthony Banas; grandchildren, Zachary  Conrad, Mackenzie Banas, Samantha Banas, and Meagan (Banas) Wolters and  her husband Nick Wolters; great-granddaughter, Paige West; as well as  close family friend thought of as a daughter, Debra Keeley and her  Husband Glen Keeley along with their children Ryan and Jordan  Keeley. Steve is preceded in death by his father, “Big “Chuck; his  mother, Joan and a brother, Terry.  Stevie will be missed dearly by all  that knew him and the knowledge that we will now have to work for. 

A  private family burial will take place at Mountain Home Cemetery,  Otsego.  With Military Honors by VFW Post #3030, Otsego.  A celebration  to honor Steve’s life will be held later this summer. Please check his  website www.stevewestin.com for dates.  Contributions in memory of Steve  may be made to Mercury One, Judicial Watch, Freedom Works or to the  American Legion Post #84, Otsego.  Messages of condolence may be posted  at www.winkelfuneralhome.com.      Steve Westin Facebook     Calciumcommander@gmail.com
