Steve Beckow
Steve Beckow is founder and editor-in-chief of the Golden Age of Gaia (formerly the 2012 Scenario) and several other websites. He’s a member of the InLight Universal team and lives in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
He attended the University of British Columbia, McMaster, Carleton, and the University of Toronto, graduating with a Masters degree in Canadian History. Steve is a member of Mensa Canada.
He studied in three Ph.D. programs but was uncomfortable remaining within disciplinary boundaries or paradigms. One dissertation was rejected as being outside his chosen field. Another proposal (on enlightenmment as the purpose of life) was rejected as being outside the university’s paradigm of empirical materialism. Steve decided to remain with the study of enlightenment and leave the university. He’s never regretted that decision.
He began his career as a Cultural Historian for the National Museum of Man (now the Canadian Museum of History) where he published articles redefining the fields of cultural history, popular culture, and artifact studies. He finished his working life as a Member of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, his chief interest being gender issues.
Steve has written numerous books and perhaps two-thousand articles, many of his earlier works being pseudonymous. His websites are on enlightenment, the common ground of spirituality, life on the spirit planes, global gender persecution, automation, the truth of 9/11, the dangers of depleted uranium, and the Ascension scenario.
My favorite fantasy
All his books and articles are available without cost and may be reposted freely. Copyright is declined.
His spiritual disciplines included Gestalt, encounter groups, spiritualism, the est Training, rebirthing, Zen, Vipassana meditation, and Enlightenment Intensives.
In 1977, Steve had an out-of-body experience which dissipated the fear of death. In 1987, he experienced a vision of the total journey of an individual soul from God to God, which demonstrated to him that the purpose of life was enlightenment. Steve does not consider the vision to have been an enlightenment experience. It was written up here. It took nearly 20 years to fully express in words what he saw in eight wordless seconds that day.
More recently Steve had a heart opening on March 13, 2015, which enabled him thereafter to periodically (not continuously) experience transformative love and bliss.
Steve is apparently from Arcturus and has lived on Earth eight times: as a non-dual monk in Atlantis, a community leader in Biblical times, a formulator of mathematical principles and sacred geometry, a warrior, the founder of a religious order, and a helper in the development and spread of the printing press. This lifetime he works as a communicator serving Archangel Michael and the Divine Mother.
(He is not an aspect of Archangel Michael, as has been suggested. He wishes he were!)
His assignment is “to go up with everybody” and write about it. Today, Steve lives a life of voluntary simplicity and research as a non-denominational “urban monk.”
His earlier writings can be found at The Essays of Brother Anonymous. The Purpose of Life is Enlightenment is located here. For additional material on the Ascension scenario, see First Contact.

Suzanne Maresca
Suzanne is Host of InLight Universal’s Heavenly Blessings program.
She’s looked after the site’s Reader Relations area of the blog since June 2012. It’s a role that sees her manage, forward and respond to the hundreds of queries and news tips that come in via our “Contact Us” form each week. She used to pen a regular Connections by Suzi column, and does still occasionally write when the spontaneous inspiration comes along.
Answering readers’ questions and suggestions quickly become the perfect landing spot for Suzi to step into a greater role in assisting the shift of humanity into the Golden Age of Gaia. Her column also became a natural progression for her to share what’s in the hearts of readers, as well as the answers that came through her, which she feels are directly influenced by the Divine Mother and the Company of Heaven.
Suzi is doing the single-Mom thing in the wilds of northwest NJ, and has been enjoying her life with her daughter as they navigate these sacred days together. We write this story as we go now.
Paul Backes
Paul is an editor of the Golden Age of Gaia, co-manages the blog’s Facebook page, and is Producer of An Hour with an Angel and Heavenly Blessings.
He started reading this blog in 2012 after noticing that all of his favorite sources of channeled messages were here in one place. He explains, “They had the same sense of discernment. I got the added benefit of Steve’s articles and, having been introduced to Linda Dillon and the Council of Love, I was home.”
