Mellin-Thomas Benedict and His Conversation with The Light

During a near-death experience in 1982, Mellen-Thomas Benedict (http://www.mellen-thomas.com/) was declared dead for 90 minutes. When he awoke, he was totally healed of his terminal and inoperable brain cancer. He also had psychic abilities that he never had before, which he describes as Spirit causing his "filters and veils" to be “pulled back and obliterated”.

During the time he was out, he had long question and answer sessions with a Higher Consciousness which he calls “The Light”, which included trips to earth’s past and future. This Light could be considered his Higher Self or his connection to his Soul or to God, however you want to interpret that. He has written two books, but I could not find them for sale, only CDs of these works, which are available at his website.

He now has the ability to return to The Light and retrieve more information. These days he is most interested in getting information about new inventions that will help mankind. One of these is a device that uses colored LED lights and allows your body to reorganize itself for optimum health. It’s called “phototherapy”. The photons go through the connective tissues in the body to deeper tissues and organs, then are absorbed and used to activate metabolic functions. This one, the Dream Spa, is available at this site http://www.lighthealthresearch.com/  I myself do not have 1400.00 to try this out, but if anyone buys this and tries it, let me know how it works for you.     

One of the questions he asked was, “Why is this happening, am I special?” and The Light basically said that he was an example to others showing that if he could do it anyone could. Mellen admits that he knew nothing about metaphysics before the event and that he was “thick as a brick”.

One of the many humorous interactions that took place was when he asked The Light, “What is life all about -- what's the plan?" The Light said, “There is no plan, there never was. It's whatever you want it to be.” I still laugh and think about that one statement all the time now. I believe there is a grand plan, if you will, a cosmic plan that is always in motion in the background, but we can decide how we want to live our lives. It is important to be self-aware and to have your connection to your Soul/God/The Earth, but there is no judgment. In the end, it’s all just human experiences within the experiment of Spirit.

It took me a few hours to listen to some interviews and collect everything that was related to the 2012 time period. Here are some quotes about what he saw for the future and comments about what’s happening now in preparation for the next step in our evolution. When he got into the far future he said he saw that the people there were amazed at what we had done now, which was to accomplish so much in so short a time which ended up setting all mankind and all the future free. He said they called us the "giants of all history".

“The next step in spiritual evolution is not kissing the face of God...it's where the mundane becomes sacred, where heaven becomes earth...we are going on from this chrysalis now and we are about to become butterflies...”

“The old energy has brought us as far as it can bring us but it can’t do the next step for us...it requires a higher energy...”

“The future is non-industrial. Our machines will be doing what we need them to do to free us and we will be going on to the next level of our creation, and a part of that is to colonize other planets... “

“One of the signs to look for [spiritual advancement on earth] is when you see truly enlightened beings entering into the Fortune 500... Money is becoming spiritualized. It’s beautiful, green energy...”

“The next step for us is transcending "survival" and the end of poverty...”

“2012 is a signpost - certainly not the end of the world...and it’s going to be a paradigm shift because we are going to get past all this ‘end of the world’ stuff. In fact, you give me any date the world is going to end and I’ll bet the farm on it — that it won’t end.”

He says that the 2012 information has been distorted, sort of "cut and pasted" and that 2012 is not the most important date. The real pivotal moment comes around 2020 to 2040 and "has nothing to do with comets, aliens or plagues". That it is “going to change the world in the most dramatic way imaginable and it will be absolutely natural “ He says even though it looks like there is a lot of negativity, that "the mass consciousness is so far over to the positive, it is astounding". 

Because of all the doomsday movies and info on the internet, there are a lot of people who are really frightened that everything will be disappearing soon. Mellen has actually been asked to talk with groups of psychiatrists to help them to help their clients who are coming to them in droves believing that the world is going to end. He says to “be careful of your world view and self-fulfilling prophecy” and that this time “is the ending of ancient prophecy - the end of the ‘end times’ predictions. “Be careful of prophecy, because if you get a number of people that believe a certain thing, it stands a pretty good chance of happening.”

“There’s going to be a lot more cosmic events... “

“This is new territory for us all...we are all pioneers... we're going to enter into 'create your own reality' from now on...”  

“The future will be by far predominantly female, the majority of people being androgynous...”

He asked why humanity is so dark and doomed and was shown a mandala of souls of earth where he could see into each soul and saw that none were inherently "evil". “People may do terrible things out of ignorance and lack, but no soul is evil.” This is true. All souls are of God. It is only when there is lack of love that things get twisted.

“Heaven on earth is not only possible, it’s inevitable...”

“The next level of citizenship is self-initiation, self governance...self-healing. Truly enlightened beings don’t have to be told what to do...”

“The future is not about jobs, it’s about being who you really are.“

As the earth crosses the plane of the ecliptic, what some call aligning with the central sun, he says that this is a much more "busy" area that we are entering and it is natural for there to be physical disruptions on earth such as tornados, draught etc. “It’s a tricky area -- kind of like being in a shooting gallery.” Also, the Sun is getting "cranky", hotter and affecting our climate and that eventually we get either cooler or warmer - one or the other.

“The clearing of the rain forest will slow down, and in fifty years there will be more trees on the planet than in a long time. Earth is in the process of domesticating itself. It is never again going to be as wild a place as it once was...”

“Population increase is getting very close to the optimal range of energy to cause a shift in consciousness. That shift in consciousness will change politics, money, energy...”

“The pole shift is a consciousness shift...”

“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.”

His statements of the future differ from many of the channels that I’ve seen. This is why we all have to make up our own minds about what we think about this time period, what it means to our personal evolution.

The only thing for certain right now is that we are being offered an opportunity to shift the old way of doing things on earth and that this requires a personal transformation as well. This is exciting and I for one am looking forward to the changes, realizing also that there is work to be done on myself every day on a mundane level.

As the perception of time speeds up, we will be living our lives as if a day is a week, or a day is a month of experience. What should we do with our time? As a great channel once told me “Relax and let your destiny unfold...”

Namaste’     

2012 Predictions and Earth Changes...putting it all together and getting a handle on it. Also, insights from Gordon Michael Scallion.

Although this is a spiritual blog, we live in the third dimension, the physical realm, as well. So my objective is to provide spiritual and practical tools to use as we proceed through this 2012 time period. And this is a period of time, not just the year 2012. So I don't get hung up on predictions on this topic as being specifically for 2012. Certain things could happen sooner or could happen later, but permanent and beneficial change is happening RIGHT NOW. It may just look like chaos for a while until the energies shift and even out. This chaos is caused by those unwilling to change and adapt to the new energies, so there is a definite struggle being played out here in our dualistic dimension between what you might call the “Dark” and the “Light”.

I still believe that we are going through a very unique and spiritual experience, but it does seem too that we are in the midst of another cycle of physical earth changes, especially in the Pacific "ring of fire". The world is also in the grips of a depression, sparking revolts and revolutions. I can see what is happening, but I know that whatever happens, I am in control of how I perceive this. I also know that the stronger the connection I retain to the spiritual realms, the more I will know if there is something I need to do or a place I need to go in order to help myself and to help others. I will also remain calm in the face of this chaos, knowing that ultimately all will be changed for the better. 

That said, I still look for future indications of possible future events from others who are gifted channels of Spirit, and pass on this information to you so that you can be forewarned and be able to make decisions based on what you see happening in your universe and your common sense.

Back in the 90s, Gordon Michael Scallion was printing up future maps of a world after a pole shift. It was pretty gloomy. Lori Toye of I Am America had another similar one inspired by visions from the Ascended Masters. I am sure that at the time, this was indeed capable of manifesting. Maybe it will eventually. Maybe it will not. Or maybe it will partially manifest. This uncertainty is because WE and our spiritual development, our conscious awareness, our free will, can actually alter these events. So predictions are really telling us "If you don't change, this can happen". Unfortunately, we won't know how we are doing until we see some things unfold. Enter the Japan earthquake and  tsunami. For some occasional updates from him, try this link http://www.matrixinstitute.com/intuitive-flash-updates

Although  New Zealand had experienced a devastating quake, he still maintains that this area will not be destroyed, but will become “..the new frontier” and  “...a beacon of light for the planet where spiritual messages will be beamed around the world giving hope for a better future.”

Now the USA, specifically the  state of Arkansas, having just experienced a good sized quake and multiple swarms, is getting ready to make way for a shift in the New Madrid fault which runs up the Mississippi river, as well as all the way out toward the Great Lakes. Here’s more:  

 “In my predictions for 2010, I saw oil prices breaking $100... it is happening now, and I believe it will go higher....[and] unfortunately move us closer to the economic downturn that I have predicted would happen this year.”

“I fear budget cuts will curtail education reform initially, but we will see that moving in the right direction in 2012-2014.”

“In the future, I see those countries now in turmoil in the Middle East creating a geographically unified country, made up of individual states similar to the United States of America. But until that happens, the area will remain volatile”

On a side note, I find it fascinating that a lot of the revolts were fueled and organized through posts on Twitter and Facebook. Even when the countries in turmoil shut down the internet, messages were still getting out through dial-up and mirror sites. It could not be stopped.

Will there be a pole shift? It’s possible. It’s happened before many times over millennia on earth. Right now the North magnetic pole is moving toward Siberia, there is no doubt. The question is, will it flip so that North and South are reversed, or make a radical shift, or both, or neither. These questions I will put to any channels I come in contact with in the future.     

For those still waiting, once again, sorry to say, I have to postpone my interview with my friend Rosemary, a great Spirit channel, but will eventually have some great info for you. But last time I talked with her, she did give me some little cryptic bits such as, “property values sink to the bottom”. So evidently we are definitely still in the thick of this depression (as Gordon Michael Scallion also concurs) no matter what the governments say. She also says “Listen to your heart” and “Justice will reign”. She also said something about “Palestine” and 2012, which I will get clarification on. She also said the calendars are off, so don’t lean too heavily on the exact year of 2012, like I mentioned before. Just keep your eyes and your heart open.

Always remember, as we see systems break down, earth changes and other dramatic situations, try to stay calm. Although still tragic, those caught in the midst of these changes, or those souls who have passed, agreed on a soul level to experience this for the sake of their soul growth. The best thing that can be done for a negative situation is to send prayers of Light for the highest and best outcome. Thoughts have energy and there is always unlimited spiritual assistance available. Let’s use it.
