Best selling author, Dannion Brinkley, started off his writing career with an autobiography called “Saved By the Light”. He has since written many more books and has his own web site where he does readings and sells other spiritually-minded material.
In “Saved By the Light”, he recounts his experience of getting hit by lightning in his South Carolina home and how it had changed his life forever.
During a lightning storm in 1975, Brinkley happened to be on the telephone. The lightning traveled through the lines and sent him flying across the room. He distinctively remembers the searing pain of having the lightning travel through his body. He went from feeling such unfathomable pain to feeling nothing at all, yet he was in total awareness of his thoughts and surroundings.
It was then, he realized he was no longer in his body, but was suspended above it. Looking down, he could see a melted phone receiver still grasped in his hand, his shoes laying on the floor where he had been standing, still smoking from the intense heat. He watched people working on him, performing CPR and then ultimately, taking him out of his house on a stretcher, sheet over his face. Of course, the story doesn’t end there, as he came back from the brink of death to write about it.
Before he could be revived, and for what must have felt like days, months or even years, he traveled to a destination few ever return from, to talk about. He relates how he first came upon a tunnel, then viewed a crystal city and was taken to a cathedral of knowledge where he was imparted with revelations of the future.
Because of the experiences he’d gone through, Brinkley’s life became more meaningful. He also discovered he could foretell the future. His life work is helping others cope with the fear of death and their own mortality and teaches “there is indeed no such thing as death”. He helps people to embrace their impending death with the joy of reaching a better plane.
This is an exciting and compelling read, one you’ll definitely want to follow up with his next book “At Peace In The Light”. Some may be skeptical and some may turn into believers. Either way, the story is well-written and thought-provoking and may give a new insight as to how a life should be lived and how death should be thought of.
