Who is John Redbear?

I am.

If you want to know why, I could tell you.
If you want to know how? I do not know.

The book is Illusions by Richard Bach, published when John Redbear

was just a boy in his teens.  Here is how it begins:

1.  There was a Master come unto the earth, born in the holy land
    of Indiana, raised in the mystical hills east of Fort Wayne.

2.  The Master learned of this world in the public schools of
    Indiana, and as he grew, in his trade as a mechanic of
    automobiles.

3.  But the Master had learnings from other lands and other
    schools, from other lives that he had lived.  He remembered
    these, and remembering became wise and strong, so that others
    saw his strength and came to him for counsel.

4.  The Master believed that he had power to help himself and all
    mankind, and as he believed so it was for him, so that others
    saw his power and came to him to be healed of their troubles
    and their many diseases.

5.  The Master believed that it is well for any man to think upon
    himself as a son of God, and as he believed, so it was, and
    the shops and garages where he worked became crowded and
    jammed with those who sought his learning and his touch; and
    the streets outside with those who longed only that the shadow
    of his passing might fall upon them, and change their lives.
