Dannion Brinkley, best-selling author of Saved by the Light and At Peace in the Light, joins Art Bell to recount his two near-death experiences and the profound transformation they brought. Brinkley describes his earlier life as a violent, self-centered man who performed clandestine intelligence work, and how a bolt of lightning struck him through a telephone line in 1975, stopping his heart for twenty-eight minutes.
Brinkley details what he experienced during clinical death: floating above his body, traveling through a tunnel of light, encountering a radiant being, and undergoing a panoramic life review in which he felt every emotion he had ever inflicted on others. He describes visiting crystal cities and receiving 117 visions of future events from twelve beings, ninety-six of which he says have since come to pass. Brinkley explains how a second near-death experience during open-heart surgery fourteen years later reinforced everything he had witnessed the first time.
The discussion turns to Brinkley's seventeen years of hospice volunteer work, his views on the spiritual nature of death, and his message about confronting mortality. Art Bell and Brinkley also explore predictions of coming earth changes, economic instability, and geopolitical upheaval.
