Journey Through the Light and Back
by Mellen-Thomas Benedict
I’m going to Hawaii in January, where my film is being shown at the Earth Transformation Conference. One of the conference producers is a mainstay in the UFO community, where I’ve been spending time lately, and I got myself included after I found out that Mellen-Thomas Benedict, a hero of mine whom I don’t know, was going to be one of the speakers. A piece Mellen wrote, that’s a classic in transformational literature, starts this way:
In 1982 I died from terminal cancer. The condition I had was inoperable, and any kind of chemotherapy they could give me would just have made me more of a vegetable. I was given six to eight months to live.
I had been an information freak in the 1970’s, and I had become increasingly despondent over the nuclear crisis, the ecology crisis, and so forth. So, since I did not have a spiritual basis, I began to believe that nature had made a mistake, and that we were probably a cancerous organism on the planet. I saw no way that we could get out from all the problems we had created for ourselves and the planet. I perceived all humans as cancer, and that is what I got.
Mellen goes on to recount his near-death experience. He’s been to the other side and lets us know what we are in for. It’s a beautiful picture. In fact, reading his material years ago sensitized me to there being other intelligent life, which helped make me receptive to crop circles being of non-human origin.
The piece is too long to post in its entirety, so I’ve cherry-picked some paragraphs. I guarantee that if you click through to the whole thing you won’t quit in the middle. It’s riveting.
The human soul, the human matrix that we all make together is absolutely fantastic, elegant, exotic, everything. I just cannot say enough about how it changed my opinion of human beings in that instant. I said, “Oh, God, I did not know how beautiful we are.” At any level, high or low, in whatever shape you are in, you are the most beautiful creation…
Suddenly I seemed to be rocketing away from the planet on this stream of Life. I saw the earth fly away. The solar system, in all its splendor, whizzed by and disappeared. At faster than light speed, I flew through the center of the galaxy, absorbing more knowledge as I went. I learned that this galaxy, and all of the Universe, is bursting with many different varieties of LIFE. I saw many worlds. The good news is that we are not alone in this Universe!…
I was in pre-creation, before the Big Bang. I had crossed over the beginning of time/the First Word/the First vibration. I was in the Eye of Creation. I felt as if I was touching the Face of God. It was not a religious feeling. Simply I was at one with Absolute Life and Consciousness…
The earth is a great processor of energy, and individual consciousness evolves out of that into each one of us. I thought of myself as a human for the first time, and I was happy to be that. From what I have seen, I would be happy to be an atom in this universe. An atom. So to be the human part of God… this is the most fantastic blessing. It is a blessing beyond our wildest estimation of what blessing can be. For each and every one of us to be the human part of this experience is awesome, and magnificent. Each and every one of us, no matter where we are, screwed up or not, is a blessing to the planet, right where we are…
Soon our science will quantify spirit. Isn’t that going to be wonderful? We are coming up with devices now that are sensitive to subtle energy or spirit energy. Physicists use these atomic colliders to smash atoms to see what they are made of. They have got it down to quarks and charm, and all that. Well, one day they are going to come down to the little thing that holds it all together, and they are going to have to call that … God. We are just beginning to understand that we are creating too, as we go along. As I saw forever, I came to a realm during my near-death experience in which there is a point where we pass all knowledge and begin creating the next fractal, the next level. We have that power to create as we explore. And that is God expanding itself through us.
Since my return I have experienced the Light spontaneously, and I have learned how to get to that space almost any time in my meditation. Each one of you can do this. You do not have to die or have a near-death experience to do this. It is within your equipment; you are wired for it already. The body is the most magnificent Light being there is. The body is a universe of incredible Light. Spirit is not pushing us to dissolve this body. That is not what is happening. Stop trying to become God; God is becoming you. Here…
After dying, going through my near-death experience and coming back, I really respect life and death. In our DNA experiments we may have opened the door to a great secret. Soon we will be able to live as long as we want to live in this body.
After living 150 years or so, there will be an intuitive soul sense that you will want to change channels. Living forever in one body is not as creative as reincarnation, as transferring energy in this fantastic vortex of energy that we are in. We are actually going to see the wisdom of life and death, and enjoy it. As it is now, we have already been alive forever.
This body, that you are in, has been alive forever. It comes from an unending stream of life, going back to the Big Bang and beyond…

Ecstatic i came across this site, will make sure to book mark it so i can stop by regularly.
I generally don’t leave comments!!! Believe me! On the other hand I liked your blog site…especially this post! I have a Sleeping Related site of my own at Natural Sleep Aid… Would you mind terribly if I posted a backlink from my web site to your blog site?
I REALLY enjoyed your post and blog! I liked reading your work!
Hello, I had a similar experience without any illness to produce it. In my case I was “invited” to go through and see.
The experience of becoming aware of that human matrix he talks about, what I would also describe as the intimate connection between each of us individually and simultaneously aware of the unity we participate in with the Eternal Consciousness, with Being, is an experience that transforms you, fills your soul, and places you in a different plane even as you exist here.
We are all destined to be, as we are, yet in a fuller participation with everyone and everything, with Life.
What I learned was that we must share the glow we have, being the loving person one can be, and sharing just that with as many persons as one meets, as a participation in the anticipation of the coming unity.
Yes, we have a future ….!
Hey, I just wanted to say what a fantastic website. I totally enjoyed it and found it entertaining reading. Awaiting your next post!
Suzanne, I was about to turn of my computer when I noticed your last email. I am so glad I opened it and tapped into the article.
Yes, we are being invited to allow our horizons to be extended and to let God be God. I am a Sister of St Joseph, a Catholic religious sister. All I can utter just now is: “O God, you have so many amazing wonders yet to be revealed.” May we ever treasure what is being revealed through the crop formations and be open to listen to and hear their message. Your DVD is a great means of sharing the good news of the crop formations with others. Blessing and thanks.
Thank you. The process of personal transformation is beautiful to experience and behold. It is even more beautiful to share with others. The opportunity to carry transformation to the level of community is now before us. We are moving out of an all too pervasive condition of rapport deprivation. We are often out of rapport within ourselves (self awareness). We are often out of rapport with those around us. We are often out of rapport with our physical environment. And, we are also often out of rapport with the transcendental forces of creation. Our challenge is to conquer what is really rapport deprivation illness through building symbiotic relationships, and community.
Thank you. This is encouraging!! It is too easy to be dismissive and cynical about the “human condition.” Easy for me, that is. Things can seem so ordinary and dreary even, then something like this comes along and is a reminder that life is so much more than we can see with our physical eyes, even though some of those things seen are extraordinary, too. We spent some time in a natural history museum yesterday and marveled over beautiful rock formations and various life forms, mostly either fossilized or preserved by taxidermy. I thought, wow … we’d never see this stuff just hanging around the house or the neighborhood. But by the same token, just being “you” in your natural state, living life, breathing, existing with everything physical that is inside of you (organs and such, tissue, blood, nerves, etc.) and everything the “human genome” project (there was a special exhibit on that at the museum, too) has discovered about us, just “being” a human being, in other words, can be pretty mind-blowing, when you really think of it. Anyway, thanks again!!
Kryon (http://www.kryon.com) says that Crop Circles are made by human beings in (from) another time, and that they use a “base 12” mathematics. Specifically, he states that crop circles are:
(1) Definitely interdimensional. (2) From Humans, but from a different time. (3) The symbology is 12-based math. The messages are to help with peace on Earth.
This does not of course, refute the fact that life exists in other solar systems in our or other galaxies, but that crop circles are not the product of these others.
Thanks, very inspiring. Very best wishes for the new year and a great experience at the conference
Thank you for sharing this powerful message. May the crop circles keep expanding
This is powerful. Hope it is a great success – and that it’s fun in Hawaii.
Hi all
I think anyone reading this would also be very interested in the Conscious Media Network website. You can listen to interviews with very inspiring people! The above post is very similar to the teachings of Dannion Brinkley, who was struck by lightening and survived. I recommend you listen to his interview about the after-life. My own opinion, after four years researching and gaining knowledge of this subject, is that we are all constantly in the process of refining our souls. I would guess that if you are reading this you are very advanced and refined as a human. The only problem I see with this world is that the humans who try and control the planet are a long ways behind in the process of refinement.
Loved your movie. I must admit I’d been a bit confused as to whether or not their source was of extraterrestrial origin because of all the negative publicity, but your movie changed that for me! Thanks for getting the truth out!
If you get a chance to look at some Vedic literature — take a look at the 12 levels of the soul — para nirvana etc — you can see how the ancients ( ? ) delineated aspects or explained the continuum of the mind. The trick is to not get caught up in spiritual materialism —on the inward journey-
What a beautiful description of reality! I am in Hawaii now, exploring extending my stay to include the conference, as an opportunity to meet you and also to hear Mellen-Thomas Benedict and learn more about his experiences. Thanks for the good work you’re doing, Suzanne.
Wow! Suzanne, I am so glad I met you. Thank you very much for sending these inspiring paragraphs.
Thank you so much Suzanne. Actually my book club in Carmel is reading Mellen’s book next month. And I’m going to post this on Gnostic HypnoPsychology.
That was fantabulous! Thank you, Mellen, for going through it and writing about it, and Suzanne for finding it and sending it on….
Thank you for sending out the piece from Mellen-Thomas Benedict. It was wonderful to have someone put into words what seemed to ring so true for me and to know that truly all is well despite all the fear and frustration that seems so prevalent in our world today.
I will re-read this piece whenever I get discouraged and share it with as many others as I can. Thank You, Thank You.
This post is So Beautiful! I am surely glad you’re in my life, walking this wondrous path with me. Thank you for your efforts, and blessings on your work.
It is strange but I just completed the final chapter of my book (“The Dream of the Cosmos”) and put it up on my website the day before yesterday. I put, as a coda to the whole book, this account of Mellen-Thomas Benedict’s fantastic experience. It has inspired me for years and is so vividly alive and authentic and I thought it gives out a message of hope and trust to everyone.
I hope you have a richly rewarding New Year for all the love and passion you put into your film and may it travel all over the world.
Thanks for this. Came just in time, as we found out a friend of ours in New York has just gone into a hospice, and it helps to hear from someone who has gone over and come back.
OH! Merry Christmas, Suzanne. How touchingly beautiful.
This is beautiful, and so Vedic in its expression of the fabric of life that we are part of and made of. It was good to read it today on a day when family members’ vulnerabilities are on my mind – thank you for the timing of this post, Suzanne. Please report any stories from the conference. What happens in the Crop circle world in winter, and what new news comes up?
