The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Other Side describes how in 1982 Mellen-Thomas died of terminal brain cancer and survived to tell about it. While in Hospice Care Mellen “died†or was without vital signs for at least an hour and a half before he returned to his body! Mellen-Thomas is one of the most studied near-deather in the world. He has taken part in more research and think tanks than any other near-deather. He has devoted himself to scientific research projects. Deepak Chopra has called Mellen-Thomas the “Encyclopedia of the After Life†in his latest book Life After Death. P.M.H. Atwater, researcher and author of Beyond the Light, wrote, “The near-death experience of Mellen-Thomas is the only one I have yet come across where an individual willfully changed the episode’s scenario as it was actually happening.†Dr. Kenneth Ring, author of Heading Toward Omega; The Omega Project states “Mellen’s story is one of the most remarkable I have encountered in extensive research on near-death experiences. Mellen-Thomas has the big picture.â€Â  www.mellen-thomas.com
