It's fait accompli that nobody shared it with Werner in the same way as someone shared it with you, having previously gotten it from someone else. It's fait accompli that Werner was the first to get it and share it. So the answer to "Who shared it with Werner?" is "Nobody.". Now even if that's the right answer, there are two other possibilities to consider. The first one is: something which was bigger than himself called him to start making transformation available in the world. We can speculate later on exactly what that "something" was, which was "bigger than himself" (I prefer to speculate because whatever it was, is open to interpretation).
The second possibility is, again: nobody ... and ... there were many different explorations which influenced him and shaped his life, revealing all manner of methods, intersections like all of the disciplines he practiced and experimented with (Zen, to name one), ideas from the influencers in his life, the zeitgeist, learning how to sell cars and books etc, all of which led to that fateful day out of time on the Golden Gate Bridge when, in a typical and very mundane morning commute to work, his life miraculously and spontaneously transformed.
We don't know, and we can't say for sure how much all the disciplines he practiced in combination brought on transformation. In all likelihood, they were a contributing factor. And again, we can only speculate if it was one of them, some of them, or all of them (and in what order?), the number of combinations and permutations of which is so large that the likelihood of it happening to anyone else in the same way as it happened to him, is slim to none. Werner, it would seem, rolled the dice (or did that "something which was bigger than himself" roll him?) and randomly, he got it - the Big "IT". In getting the Big "IT" with a roll of the dice, he got very lucky, BIG-time lucky. But isn't that what always becomes possible when you roll the dice? ie isn't that just like Life itself?
