Dannion Brinkley knows something most of us don’t – what happens when we die. In 1975, the former Marine’s ordinary phone call turned extraordinary when lightning traveled through the phone line, sending 19 million volts of electricity through his body. Pronounced dead for 28 minutes, Brinkley’s experience would change his understanding of life forever.
As medical personnel declared him deceased, Brinkley describes floating above his own body, watching helplessly as they transported him to the morgue. What followed was even more incredible – a journey through a luminous tunnel to a “Crystal City” where a being of light showed him a panoramic review of his entire life. “You see every moment,” Brinkley explains, “but from the perspective of those you affected.”
This wasn’t Brinkley’s only brush with the afterlife. He would later have two more near-death experiences during major surgeries, each reinforcing his belief that consciousness continues after physical death. Today, he uses these extraordinary experiences to counsel others facing life’s final transition.
