Zen’s Journey Snapshot
From orphaned newborn to adoptee in a sleepy Indiana bedroom community, Zen Benefiel’s arc bends wildly toward the extraordinary.
He has authored over forty books that blend visionary consciousness, pragmatic leadership, and real-world tools, turning decades of insight into a library of transformative roadmaps.
A soul-shaking awakening at 18 landed him in a psyche ward the next year—yet by 26 he was orchestrating $7 million a month in aerospace shipments, proving that cosmic downloads pair surprisingly well with manufacturing deadlines.
Along the way he earned two master’s degrees (MBA and Organizational Management), a secondary-teaching certification, and even designed Spectrum Academy’s holistic curriculum.
His 2010 keynote for IANDS stunned near-death researchers; his 2018 deep-dive on Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove’s New Thinking Allowed drew skeptics and seekers alike.
In 2021, at the behest of his wife, Luba, he launched One World in a New World, now past 1.7 million views, translating boardroom savvy and coaching wisdom into binge-worthy “aha!” moments.
And in 2023 he formalized Planetary Citizens as a nonprofit, inviting the world to co-create a conscious future. If you crave a tale where rocket-fuel pragmatism meets quantum intrigue, Zen’s journey serves it hot.
IANDS 2010
Buckle up: in this IANDS presentation Zen ventures far beyond the near-death frontier, weaving his firsthand encounters with crop-circle geometries, telepathic exchanges with extraterrestrial intelligences, and the jarring moment he realized “other worlds” aren’t science-fiction—they’re addressable realities. With equal parts humility and scholarly curiosity, he invites viewers to confront the uncomfortable, ask better questions, and consider how these multidimensional experiences might reshape both personal purpose and our collective future.

Benefiel describes a “new world order” rooted in planetary consciousness—individuals aligning with a larger cosmic purpose—and discusses practical ways to meet public fear and skepticism around such ideas.
