I first heard of Ben Swett while reading Praying Medics book "Traveling in the Spirit". He had asked Ben to share his knowledge and personal experiences on such matters. Went to his web sight and subsequently devoured his incredible content. Truly unique and insightful, not to mention inspirational. My hope is that this content will remain available to us now and to future generations, because of its tremendous value. RIP Ben Swett, truly a pioneer in the navigation of the spiritual ethereal realm.

I heard today of Colonel Ben Swett's passing. Thoughts and prayers to Wyn, Scott, Bruce, Carol and all affected by this great loss. I knew Colonel Swett through Bethany Christian Church where my parents were a member and I in my youth. He was a great man and highly respected by me as a career Air Force Officer. He's flying with the angels now

Uncle Ben, I'm going to miss you. I'm so glad I got to see you in 2009, one last time. I know I'll see you again one day and I'm sure you and my dad are flying together now! I love you!
