Mellen-Thomas Benedict’s Journey Through the Light and Back: an atheist NDE testimony from a man who died of terminal cancer in 1982.
His out of body experience — traveling past the Big Bang into the Void, a died and came back account of life after death that researcher Kenneth Ring called one of the most remarkable nde stories he ever encountered.
In 1982, artist Mellen-Thomas Benedict — a self-described absolute nonbeliever who thought humanity was a cancer on the planet — died of terminal, inoperable brain cancer. Monitored with no vital signs for over 90 minutes in hospice, he says he rose into a living Light and journeyed to the far reaches of existence — to the energetic Void of Nothingness behind the Big Bang — where he was shown that death is an illusion. In Benedict’s telling, his cancer later became undetectable. This is his account, retold in our own narration and visuals, framed strictly as his account.
