A DECADE+ OF STORYTELLING POWERED BY THE BEST WRITERS ON THE PLANET

BE PART OF THE LEGACY

TAMPA BAY • FEBRUARY 23-24 2026

This FINAL encore experience will be unlike any other. Because like everything we do, it's been "reimagined" from beginning to end. It's not a virtual or hybrid event. It's not a conference. It's not a seminar, a workshop, a meeting, or a symposium. And it's not your typical run-of-the-mill everyday event crammed with stages, keynote speeches, team-building exercises, PowerPoint presentations, and all the other conventional humdrum. Because it's up close & personal by design. Where conversation trumps presentation. And where authentic connection runs deep.

The Nine Planes of Consciousness: A Journey Through Ascension

Embark on a journey unlike any other, an exploration of realms beyond the ordinary, where few dare to travel and even fewer dare to delve. This is the realm of multiplane awareness, a technique developed by William Swygard in the 1950s, designed to unlock the mysteries of our greater consciousness and presence in the world.

As a traveler of these realms, I have ventured through the layers of consciousness, each plane revealing its own unique landscape and wisdom. This journey is not just about exploring the unseen; it’s about understanding the depths of our own being and the interconnectedness of all existence.

The multiplane awareness technique is a gateway to these realms, offering a structured approach to navigating the complexities of our consciousness. It’s an invitation to those who seek to understand the dynamics of their inner world and their place in the greater cosmos.

Now, I invite you to embark on this journey, to explore the process of multiplane awareness and discover the rich tapestry of your own consciousness. Are you ready to unlock the secrets of your greater presence in the world? Join me in exploring the depths of our being.

Astral Plane: Your journey begins in the Astral Plane, a realm of vivid colors and fluid forms, where emotions and thoughts take shape. Here, you navigate through dreamscapes and encounter beings of light and shadow. It’s a world of imagination, where your deepest fears and desires manifest before your eyes. You learn to navigate this plane with intention, understanding the power of your emotions and thoughts.

Causal Plane: Ascending from the Astral, you enter the Causal Plane, a realm of order and structure. This is the domain of the mind, where ideas and beliefs form the fabric of reality. Here, you encounter the laws of cause and effect, understanding how your thoughts shape your destiny. You gain insight into your life’s patterns, discerning the lessons and challenges that guide your soul’s evolution.

Akashic Plane: Your journey takes you deeper, into the Akashic Plane, the cosmic library of all knowledge. Here, you access the records of your soul’s journey, witnessing the tapestry of your past, present, and future. You see the interconnectedness of all things, understanding the ripple effect of every thought, word, and action. This plane offers you wisdom, guiding you towards your highest potential.

Messianic Plane: As you ascend further, you reach the Messianic Plane, a realm of divine love and healing. Here, you are bathed in the light of unconditional love, feeling a profound sense of peace and compassion. You connect with spiritual guides and beings of light, receiving guidance and healing. This plane reminds you of your true nature, a being of love and light.

Buddhic Plane: Your journey continues to the Buddhic Plane, the plane of unity and compassion. Here, you experience a deep sense of oneness with all life. You transcend the illusion of separation, realizing that you are part of a greater whole. This realization fills you with a profound love for all beings, inspiring you to live with compassion and empathy.

Atmic Plane: As you ascend to the Atmic Plane, you encounter the essence of your being. This is the realm of pure spirit, where you connect with your higher self. Here, you experience a sense of timeless existence, free from the constraints of the physical world. You understand your eternal nature and the infinite possibilities of your spirit.

Monadic Plane: Your journey takes you to the Monadic Plane, where you connect with the collective soul of humanity. Here, you realize that you are not just an individual soul but part of a greater monad, a collective consciousness. This realization expands your sense of identity, connecting you with the collective evolution of humanity and all beings.

Logoic Plane: Approaching the culmination of your journey, you reach the Logoic Plane, the realm of divine consciousness. Here, you experience unity with the Source, the ultimate reality. You understand the underlying order of the universe, the cosmic laws that govern existence. This plane offers you a glimpse of the divine mind, the intelligence that orchestrates the dance of creation.

Adi Plane: Finally, you arrive at the Adi Plane, the plane of divine will and the ultimate source. Here, you transcend all forms and concepts, existing in a state of pure potentiality. You are one with the infinite, the unmanifested essence of all that is. In this plane, you experience the ultimate freedom, the boundless expanse of your true nature.

Your journey through the planes of consciousness is a journey of self-discovery, a voyage into the depths of your being. Each plane offers its own lessons and insights, guiding you toward your ultimate realization: that you are a divine being, an integral part of the cosmos, and a co-creator of your reality.

Implications for Human Evolution and Harmony

Understanding the Nine Planes of Consciousness offers invaluable insights into the nature of reality and the potential for human evolution. This journey underscores the interconnectedness of all life and the importance of spiritual growth for achieving harmony among people and the planet. By recognizing the multidimensional nature of existence, we can cultivate a more holistic approach to life, embracing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being.

Toward a New Paradigm of Existence

The exploration of the Nine Planes of Consciousness invites us to envision a new paradigm of existence, one that integrates the diverse dimensions of consciousness into a cohesive whole. As we ascend through these planes, we are called to embody the principles of love, unity, and compassion, forging a path towards a more enlightened and harmonious world.

This journey through the Nine Planes of Consciousness is not only a personal voyage of spiritual discovery but also a collective journey towards a higher state of collective being. As we each navigate our path of ascension, we contribute to the evolution of consciousness, inspiring a shift towards a more conscious, connected, and harmonious existence for humanity and the planet.

Zen says his life has been spiced with personal and professional opportunities that came through his nurturing of faith, love, and trust that dreams do come true. What built that faith, love, and trust began as an orphan told of his adoption just after his 4th birthday. The spice continued with experiences that span the gamut of the paranormal and include off-planet engagements over a lifetime. Can you say outlier? With two Master’s degrees and multiple certifications as well as an interesting professional history (ZenBenefiel.com) his passion turned to transformational life coaching just after the turn of the century, having become a rather astute cognitive scientist with extraordinary insight and intuition, he transformed Be The Dream (founded in 1988) from the intention of bridging best business and spiritual practices to a reality that has served hundreds. A decade and a half of writing was filled with cathartic wonders. His gifts are useful for Team Partnering as well, facilitating people, places, and things to build mega-structures with pre-construction teambuilding sessions. Divorced with four children, 9 grandkids, and 2 great-grandsons, he remarried after 30 years. Luba is from St. Petersburg, Russia, and their meeting, both agree, was a cosmic conspiracy of destiny, spiritual compatibility, and future vision of a newly ordered world in harmony with natural order. After 47 years of preparation, and stepping into what feels like fulfilling destiny, he recently became the Executive Director of the Live and Let Live Global Peace Movement that is inspiring the world now. Zen's Book "Navigating Holistic Growth: The Servant Leader's Guide," demonstrates, true leadership is not about authority, but about fostering an environment of growth, understanding, and cooperation. This guide is an essential resource for anyone looking to make a meaningful impact, through self-discovery and by empowering those around them.
