Dannion Brinkley is an American writer famously known for his two near-death experiences book
Saved by the Light. He also helps care for people in hospice, gives speeches, and is well-known in the New Age and New Thought movements.
In his book
Saved by the Light, Dannion explains how he was talking on the phone during a thunderstorm when a lightning bolt struck the phone line. The shock sent thousands of volts of electricity through his body. His heart stopped, and he was declared dead.
After 28 minutes, Brinkley suddenly came back to life in the morgue with an incredible story. He describes his near-death experience (NDE) and the spiritual changes that followed. He had a second NDE 14 years later.
During his first NDE, Brinkley said he watched from above as doctors and family members tried to revive him. He claimed to travel through a dark tunnel to a glowing city where a spirit guide introduced him to 13 angelic beings. These beings showed him visions of future events, including the Chernobyl disaster, the Persian Gulf War, and economic troubles in the U.S. Of the 117 prophecies he recalled, he said 95 had already come true.
While recovering, Brinkley said he continued seeing these spiritual guides in his dreams and discovered he could read minds. However, doctors and religious leaders were skeptical of his story. Eventually, he connected with Dr. Raymond Moody, one of the best researchers of near-death experiences, who was amazed by Brinkley’s detailed account.
His second NDE happened in 1989 when his weakened heart failed due to pneumonia. He claimed to return to the crystal city and meet the angelic guides again who told him to use his new spiritual abilities to help others. Since then, he has worked with the sick and elderly and shared his experiences worldwide.
His book
Saved by the Light became a bestseller, stayed on
The New York Times list for over 25 weeks and sold in more than 20 countries. It was adapted into a 1995 movie. He later wrote sequels:
At Peace in the Light (1995),
Secrets of the Light (2009), and
Ten Things to Know Before You Go (2014).
However, some of his claims have been questioned. Investigations found inconsistencies in his story, such as where he recovered and how long he was unconscious. Reports suggest he may not have been in a morgue or hospital at all. Early interviews indicate he originally said he was only unconscious for a few minutes and that his wife saved his life. There were also doubts about his military service record.
