Man STRUCK by LIGHTNING; DIES & Comes FACE-TO-FACE with GOD! (NDE) with Dannion Brinkley

In the sacred theater of life, moments of profound transformation often arise from the most unexpected experiences. On today’s episode, we welcome Dannion Brinkley, a man whose journey from life to death and back has reshaped his understanding of existence. His narrative, colored by near-death encounters and profound spiritual revelations, beckons us to reconsider our perspectives on life, death, and what lies beyond.

Dannion Brinkley recounts his first near-death experience with an almost poetic clarity. In 1975, at the age of 25, he was struck by lightning while on a landline telephone. The lightning’s fury surged through him, welding his shoes to the floor and leaving his body scorched and in agonizing pain. As he floated above his body, detached from his suffering, he observed a vibrantly resonant world where solidity was an illusion, and everything hummed with a frequency of its own. In this state, he realized a profound truth: “You will be so happy when your time comes that you won’t know what to do with yourself.”

This near-death experience not only altered Dannion‘s understanding of life but also set him on a path of service as a hospice volunteer. Over the past 42 years, he has spent more than 34,000 hours at the bedsides of the dying, helping over 2,000 individuals transition from this world to the next. His experiences underscore a vital truth: we are, at our core, spiritual beings with inherent dignity, direction, and purpose.

In another vivid recounting, Dannion describes moving through a spiraling tunnel toward a place of brilliant, beautiful light, where fear was nonexistent, and a sense of familiarity enveloped him. Here, he encountered radiant beings who imparted profound wisdom and prophecies, shaping his understanding of the universe and his place within it. “You are responsible,” he learned, “you chose to come here, and you will be every person you have ever encountered, feeling the direct results of your interactions.”

SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS

  1. Embrace Your Spiritual Nature: Recognize that you are a great, powerful, and mighty spiritual being with dignity, direction, and purpose.
  2. Life’s Continuity: Understand that death is not the end but a transition to another form of existence, as vividly experienced by Dannion in his near-death encounters.
  3. Interconnectedness: Your actions and intentions matter profoundly, as you will experience the ripple effects of your interactions with others from their perspectives.

In this profound conversation, we explore the depths of existence through Dannion Brinkley‘s eyes, who, having faced death multiple times, assures us of life’s continuity beyond the physical realm. His insights challenge us to live with greater awareness of our spiritual essence and the impact of our actions. He speaks of the “panoramic life review,” a phenomenon during near-death experiences where one sees their life in a 360-degree panorama, understanding the significance of every interaction and decision.

Dannion‘s tales of radiant beings and crystal cities offer a glimpse into a reality beyond our material understanding. These experiences have not only transformed his life but have also equipped him with the knowledge and compassion to guide others through their final moments. His work as a hospice volunteer is a testament to the power of embracing one’s spiritual mission and the profound impact of living a life aligned with higher purpose.

As we reflect on Dannion‘s extraordinary journey, we are reminded of the importance of compassion, responsibility, and the eternal nature of our souls. His message is clear: life is a sacred journey, and death is but a doorway to another realm of existence. Let us embrace our spiritual nature, live with intention, and celebrate the continuity of life beyond the physical.

Tell me what your life was like before you died.

Dannion Brinkley 0:08
Well, in 1975, I was 25 years old. I thought I was the toughest, most narcissistic, ego maniacal, bad boy, nine States Marine Corps working for various programs. You know, not religious, not any of that I thought I was the center of the universe. And what evening I was sitting down is Mr. Somebody, and I was holding the telephone to my ear. And that was when you had landlines back in the day, and lightning came down the phone line and hit me in the side of the head. It went down my spine, it welded the nails or the heels of my bass weejuns to the nails in the floor. If it hadn't been grounded by well enough, welded those nails, I would have exploded, it threw me in the air, slam me back down breaking the bread that frame and I was burning and on fire and I could not see and the pain Alex was so incredible when you experienced not knowing what happened I did couldn't ever imagine like, so I was trying to get to a position as a defensive position as a fighter and a combat God. And I could not move. I could not move and I could see where I was and my god pain every nerve and and was burned. I mean, I have pictures of what I look like eight days after that, you can see what the spine, my bruises down my spine, every vertebrae had a big bruise on it, where it just twisted me in the air. Then all of a sudden, I lift up out of my body, I could see I wasn't in any pain. And it did not matter where I was, I was not down there anymore. And I'm looking around and seeing that everything is vibrant, you would think it was solid, but nothing is really solid. It's like the matrix exists not all those numbers. And everything has a certain resonance and a frequency. And I was looking at all of that. And somehow I knew this place better than I had known that 25 year old punk where I was now. And I watch them. The guy on the other end of the phone was a corpsman in the Navy, he came straight over, he lived really close. And my girlfriend was just to take a CPR course. And so she was pounding on me. And then TM got there and they worked on me say call the paramedics went next door call the paramedics, I'm just floating around. I'm looking at everything. I'm so disconnected from it, you know, and this is going to happen to every party, Alex, you'll be so happy when your time comes that you won't know what to do with yourself. And the biggest thing that people do is grieve about losing you. But that only slows you down. It only holds you because you stay connected to them instead of them celebrating your life. So I watched him load me in the ambulance. And I figured I better go with me. Okay, because it was a new and interesting reality. So I better go with me. So I cannot figure out how I was floating above the paramedic working on me. And I had visual range. I don't know how that possibly worked. But I did. And then the guy said, He's gone, he's gone. And I thought well gone, where I mean, the paramedics here, the low down there, where's anybody gone, and then over my left shoulder, this spiraling tunnel, and it was moving, whether I was moving or not, and I could feel myself being pulled down it. And I moved down this tunnel and I come to this place of bright, brilliant, beautiful light, you know, everybody will have an inner knowing, Alex, that they've been there before. And that they know this place, there is no fear. And a lot of times when people have fear at the end of life, someone that they trust and know comes to give them. What people don't understand is all of this led me to become a hospice volunteer. I've been a hospice volunteer for 42 years, and I have more than $34,000 at the bedside. And I've been with 2010 people going from this world to the next. And I've been with 348 people taking their last breath. And I spent the last 37 years in the VA dying with veterans. So all of this was so impressive to me of what I saw and what I witnessed and what I went through that it transformed my life. You know, it just transformed it because we are great, powerful and mighty spiritual beings with dignity, direction and purpose. You were that before you got here and you will be that when you leave here, you take on the Suncoast socials. ecological identities to achieve certain goals, both you're chosen to come here, and then you choose to come here. So I get down to the end of this tunnel in this bright, brilliant, beautiful life. And this is another one of the issues I have, I looked down to see my hand or I was going to look at my body, because I'm steady, I'm in this place, there's not all that just going on with that dead guy. And I'm looking at my hand and my hand was not there. And then as I focused, my hand appeared, and I could see my hand, it's not like Michael Jackson with the glove on, but I had a shimmering essence to it. And then I saw a being this and that's the only thing I could describe these things as being a radiant being, I can understand why people think wings, because of the movement around that body as it was moving toward me. And my hand disappeared back into that shimmer and soberness. As I focused before I left and focused on the being coming toward me, when the spinning game tend to be a sense of safety and calm rushed over me. And always say it like this, you know, when you cut your knee, and you're four years old, and you run to your mother, and Scott blurred, and she picks you up and set you on the washing machine, and she's fix it, you know, what that feeling is the feeling no matter how old you are, that's the feeling that you get that loving, compassionate sense of safety. And then I had what I think is the single most important thing about the near death experience other than it does happen, which confirms without any question that no one dies, it will not happen. And how do I know that I have been dead three times. I've had one death except experience. And I've had four near death experiences. Dead struck by lightning dead for 28 minutes, completely paralyzed for six days, partially paralyzed for seven months, two years to learn to walk and feed myself, pass it out, taking steps breaking my nose, blood, pulling my shoulder out of socket, trying to push the button on a door to get to open the door, and I just black out and hang there for three hours into my dad comes by pulls my shoulder out, enjoy it breaks my collarbone. And I'm still hanging there, well back into tunnel. So this being the most important thing that everybody has to understand is the panoramic life. Maybe you and this is concurrent in most near death experiences, you will see your life pass before you in a 360 degree panorama, you have missed nothing, then you'll watch it from a second person point of view as if you were your own best friend. So you can see how similar you are, how funny you are, and how unserious you are. Okay, then you literally become every person that you've ever encountered, and you feel the direct results of your interaction between you and that person. And then there is a question, and I'm going to use the term God, because there's no word God is the German word, but there is no word for it. Then this divine essence ask you a question. If God couldn't come today, and God sent you in the life you distribute, what difference did you and God make? What does that tell you? You are responsible, you chose to come here, you were chosen and you chose, and you're going to be every person. So it is your intent that matters, not what you do, but why you're doing. And then that reflection, because I basically didn't have a lot of really good things after three, that you know, I mean, I had to be the most ignorant, hideous, brute to worst part about it out because I could fight, I can back those words up.

Speaker 1 8:53
So I had to take a lot of punishment for my actions, but I am responsible, nobody is going to get away with anything. And the universe is fair, and just in the story. And once that was over, this being took me to what I call crystal cities, you know, I have no other term for how I would describe it, because I remember driving into Denver, one night about 2am. And the houses were lit up on the sides of the mountains. And they because of the fog, they radiate it out. And that was the image that I put to that. And I got into this Crystal City and I was looking at the architecture of it. And then these beings these 12 beings appeared, you know, and I go through all the religious context of the 12 disciples, the 12, gauge, the 12, pearls, the 12, tribes, all that. So 12 is gotta be a significant position. And if you're a Tesla, three, six, and nine are the variable numbers of how the universe operates and frequencies and harmonics. So it all kind of makes sense to me now. But each of these beings showed me above because then what would happen Alex is that beam would radiate. And there was a 13th being to my right. And that 13 B it would designate not in order, but designate a being to show me what became now is known as the prophecies of Daniel. I always call that section nostre Danya. Until just some jackass from South Carolina, I know too much about me to be impressed. I don't deal with any of that. But what happened was, I saw a series of events, each one of them showed me series of events. So here we are, 45 years later. And I would say that we were in what I call box 12. Remember, I wrote a book called save by the light in 1993. And it was published in 1994, became a International New York Times bestseller, and in the boxes of knowledge, which is what I call these prophets that prophesy attic visions, it describes the probable possibilities of what happens in this life determines in the intent that each of us use in the reasoning for why we're doing what we're doing. And when you start focusing on being a physical being, as opposed to a spiritual being, you're going to see the little things, the little acts of kindness, the smile, the pat on the back, it's gonna be okay, people have to understand, when you're a great, powerful and mighty spiritual being with dignity, direction and purpose, the only thing that can ever go wrong in your life is you allow something to affect your dignity, which gives your direction and your purpose. Well, anybody who's ever read, saved by the light, or have ever watched my life for 45 years, knows I know what I'm supposed to be doing. And I have given my whole life to death. I am an expert in palliative and end of life care. And I know exactly how to help a person go from this world to the next, based on that they're a spiritual being. So when you find out what your mission is, and you see that as a spiritual big, which the nature of box 12 is to keep you from being able to do that, and what people have to really understand now is they're scared to death of something that will never happen. Well, I laugh all the time, because in my other near death experiences, the damage done to me from being struck by lightning, I've had to have open heart surgery, brain surgery. And then after this last open heart surgery, because I had an aneurysm under my aortic valve, they only gave me a maximum of 10 days. And she said that the scar tissue and damage on the inside of me was unbelievable, and that no one would ever be able to go back in there no matter what, five days later, on a Sunday morning, at 2am. I went into cardiac arrest and they had to resuscitate me about seven minutes I was resuscitated and I went into cardiac arrest again. Okay, now that was two and a half years ago. And so when someone goes to tell me that they think that the about life after death and that you live in, in a Dead universe, if you take drugs or pharmaceuticals or anything, you look to a doctor, then you live in a Dead universe. It's there are there's a living universe, well, I live in the Living Universe, I celebrate this. So my life's mission is that this to create the centers, the ability to access those levels of consciousness while you're still here, the OB, the spiritual nature of yourself, the techniques by which it is you gain control of you, instead of being controlled. And in that moment, you don't have to die, to touch your spirituality. And once that place is put into position, and there is that way so that a person who has who's really grieving, which I think is a horrible thing, I think that separation and loneliness, but most grieving is structured on guilt based on abandonment. They died and left you and you may add about instead of looking at that I'm writing a poet are working on a book called certainty. Because if there is something that's guaranteed and inevitable, you need to be an expert on it and if you're breathing you're leaving.
