Secrets of the light

This book makes you conscious of the fact that every thought word and deed in this life affects you and others in this life and then.....onto the other side too. You are accountable for your life and actions. We all count. Every last one of us. Every thought is energy and manifests itself. Prayer is powerful and it really works. Pray for the living and pray for the dead too. They get stuck too. Life goes on and on and on. Cause and effect. There are consequences for all actions. Be conscious always. You can affect generations to come by what we do or don't do now. Every second counts.Be conscious in every one of them. Be your authentic self and that is your gift to the world. Bring as much joy to this life as you can and help others bring out and shine their light too. It is why you are here. SO SHINE!!!!!!!

Fabulous

Dannion & Kathryn have outdone themselves this time. Very well written and easy to understand. These two also walk their talk... I'm proud to say I know both of them to be beautiful people who really care about others. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to understand what is in other realms.. Blessings !!

Heaven on Earth

Brinkley has come of age. This is surely his finest work. It combines his life details ['dying' 3 times] for new readers with practical, easy to read advice and pieces of prose which can only be described as inspirational. Health-wise Dannion seems to be permanently on the edge of 'going home' to spirit, and whenever he decides to go [let us hope he stays here for many more years] he has already left an amazing legacy. I have read many accounts of 'heaven/the 'other side.' This is not only the most believable, but a recipe for helping create heaven on earth. A remarkable book from a remarkable man.

Journey of Inspiration

Dannion Brinkley has one mission: to dispel the fear of death. He does this by sharing his experience of what it's like on the other side. He should know, as he so humorously states. After all, he's already experienced death three times! (I wonder if he holds the record for the most NDEs in one life.) In this third book he's written about his experience, he reveals information which, as he says, he was reluctant to share before. That is the story of the souls who are stuck, wandering in limbo, who have yet to complete their journey. Witnessing their state inspired Dannion to outline the secrets of divine living that can help us now and in our transition to the other side. To read Dannion's accounts is to catch a glimpse of the unknown so we can start preparing now.

Glimmers from a Different Reality

Dannion Brinkley has had several encounters with 'the other side' through his near-death experiences. The wealth of information gained from these experiences is what he shares in his books. In 'Saved by the Light', the intensity of the experience is what percolated through to me; the fact that an ordinary person, with no particular claim to spirituality, could have such a totally transforming, other worldly experience, after being struck by lightning. The visions that he had, extraordinarily enough, seemed secondary, maybe the authors intended it to look that way. In the sequel, 'At Peace in the Light', Dannion Brinkley describes his attempt to ground the experience. This is done by his attempts to establish the centers that he envisioned, and, more explicitly, his hospice work, where, he guided people in their transition from this life to 'the other side'. In 'Secrets of the Light', Dannion's latest and most esoteric book, he makes an attempt to display the perspective and wisdom gained from three decades of working with 'the Light'. The above is what gives this book an other worldly dimension, making it seem anchored in a different reality, that sees our earthly struggles from a different viewpoint than the win-lose game that we play. This is done very skilfully by Dannion, whose efforts have been expertly supplemented by his wife and co-author, journalist Kathryn Peters. There is not an iota of a holier-than- thou attitude in the book, not the slightest glimmer of self righteousness. It strongly negates subtle notions and impressions that most of us conjure up and live with, 'spiritual people do not fall ill', 'when one has had access to what is happening behind the scenes, one is protected from misfortune' , and so on. This book bears ample testimony to the fact that the above concepts do not apply, at least to Dannion Brinkley, who despite his more than extraordinary experiences makes no light of his earthly struggles with pain and illness. Somewhere, in the book, he even mentions our spiritual arrogance when we decided to incarnate at this time in this world, knowing fully well of the obstacles we would face. Nevertheless, the material is not at all heavy reading. It is replete with humor and jokes directed at the author, and despite the suffering and self searching, is adequately interspersed with a sense of the love and acceptance that Life is known to bequeath us all. Reading this book renewed for me the sense of belonging that our daily grind and 'promises to keep' keep taking away. The last chapter of this book is a vision of what the immediate future holds for us, earthlings. This is the sensational part of the book and though it tests one's credulity, the drama is underplayed, by the short coverage it receives. The major statement of this book, as I see it, seems to be 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof'. A book to treasure, to read and to reread
