Steve Beckow
Steve Beckow is founder and editor-in-chief of the Golden Age of Gaia (formerly the 2012 Scenario). He 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 (history).
After a vision of the purpose of life (enlightenment), Steve’s proposal (to study enlightenmment as the purpose of life) was rejected as being outside the university’s charter. Steve decided to remain with the study of enlightenment and left the university.
He began his career as a cultural historian for the National Museum of Man (now the Canadian Museum of Civilization) 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 in gender issues.
His spiritual disciplines have included encounter groups, spiritualism, the est Training, rebirthing, Vedanta, Zen, Vipassana meditation, and Enlightenment Intensives.
In 1977, Steve had an out-of-body experience which caused the fear of death to disappear.
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.
That experience is written up here. It took nearly 10 years of study and 10 years of writing 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 for nearly a year to experience transformative love and, later, bliss.
Steve is apparently from Arcturus and has lived on Earth just eight lifetimes: as a priest of the Non-Dual in Atlantis, as a community leader, twice as a warrior, as a formulator of mathematical principles and sacred geometry, as the founder of a religious order, and as 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. In the near future, he’ll work as a humanitarian philanthropist and later as an interface between our star family, a reformed United Nations, and the public.
His assignment with Michael and the Mother is “to go up with everybody” and write about his Ascension journey.

Med beds: Back to the future

Suzanne Maresca
Suzanne has looked after the site’s Reader Relations area 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 became 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 writing has been a natural progression for her to share what’s in the hearts of readers, as well as the replies that come through her.
Suzanne hosted InLight Universal’s Heavenly Blessings program for five years until May, 2018.
Now she’s gone and made herself a Buy Me a Coffee page to share news on accountability and the shifting political scene from an ascension viewpoint. Lots of memes are posted there every day.

I accidentally stumbled across the Golden Age of Gaia blog in the spring of 2018, about a year after I became a Reiki Master. I spent several weeks combing through the blog and its archives.
I was familiar with much of what I found, but quite surprised by some of the Accountability and Disclosure information. For instance, I had no idea that 9/11 was a false flag. I had never even heard the term “false flag.”
In 2020 I became forum moderator, and not too long after that was invited to become an editor for the blog.
One of my writing teachers in the 80s and 90s, Bill Richardson, had only one assignment for his creative writing classes: describe your life, honestly.
And that is what I endeavor to do with every piece I write, which can be found here.
I hope you enjoy my articles. If you want to participate in discussions about them, or other blog-related topics, I warmly invite you to come and add your voice to the forum.
