Dannion Brinkley, a lightning-strike survivor and NDE expert with three documented near-death experiences—including 28 minutes of clinical death—shares his "life review" encounters, where he relived past actions under intense judgment, contrasting them with others’ fear-based visions. He critiques Hal Lindsay’s prophecy-driven dogma while linking Y2K power grid disruptions to potential spiritual awakening, citing Egypt’s March 1999 tomb opening and Compassion in Action’s volunteer work. Meanwhile, developer Michael Bauman defies legal and ethical delays to bulldoze the sacred Miami Circle site, risking destruction of a 13,000-year-old Indigenous ceremonial center, despite federal protections under the OAS Convention. Brinkley’s insights challenge conventional views of death, consciousness, and even history’s hidden dimensions. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, or good morning, as the case may be, across all these time zones, stretching commercially from the Tahitian, the exotic Tahitian and Hawaiian Islands.
Well, I've got to get over there.
Really do.
All the way east to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands, south into South America, north all the way to the Pole worldwide on the internet.
And now out about 15 light years.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
I'm Mark Bell.
Hello there.
We're going to have a busy, busy night.
Let me tell you where we're going first from the Miami Herald.
February 10th, today's edition.
Headline.
Developer gets tough about dig.
No further delays, officials are told.
Developer Michael Bauman hardened his stand Tuesday with local officials trying to preserve the Miami Circle archaeological site, notifying the country and the county locally there that he will not entertain, listen to this, will not entertain any offers to buy the land or accept further construction delays.
Now that's interesting.
No entertainment of any offer to buy the land.
Anyway, with time short and the options narrowing, Miami-Dade County Mayor Pinellis, I think it is, said he plans to call the White House today.
That would have been earlier today.
Federal authorities previously have said the matter is out of their hands.
So this is getting really, really serious.
Coming up with an update in a moment, Richard C. Hoagland, Robert Ghostwolf, and Enid Pinckney, who is the first African-American president of the Dade Heritage Trust.
And as a matter of fact, she is the one who, I believe, was responsible for getting the court order that got all of this delay.
And there's more to tell about her, and we will.
So all of that coming up, and in the next hour, of course, the most famous dead guy in the world, Daniel Brinkley, after last night's program, that's going to be a very an exceptionally interesting program tonight with Daniel.
So stand by for that.
all on tap tonight was continuing a little bit with this story from the miami herald today
The county manager told a commissioner's meeting, listen to this Tuesday, that Bauman, the developer, his stand is now rock hard.
He will not consider offers to buy the property, will not accept county reimbursement for additional delays, will not allow county engineers to study the feasibility of adjusting his construction plans to build around the site.
So that must be the current worry, I would guess, as we join our guests, Richard Hoagland, Robert Ghostwolf, and Enid Bignay.
There has been an increasing hardening of position since the commission meeting last Friday.
And it's very curious.
Normally, when someone has received the accolades that Bauman received initially for being bright enough to realize the significance of the find and allowing Bob Carr and his archaeologists working for the preservation people to move in since last September and uncover this 38-foot circle and really understand its uniqueness in all of North America,
if not even the world, everyone was very optimistic that Mr. Bauman really was on the side of truth, justice, the American way, and understood what it is to be a hero in an era where there are fewer and fewer real heroes.
The problem is that every archaeologist and every ethnologist and every group which has looked at this, ranging from Native Americans to the Commission itself, the Dade County Commission, are all universally against this option because it in essence destroys what is an ancient cathedral, an ancient sacred temple, a point of land at the mouth of the Miami River that for at least 2,000 years,
judging from the artifacts that Bob Carr has turned up, and probably a lot longer given some of the information we're going to talk about later tonight.
And one of the most tragic and poignant moments of this afternoon was an Indian woman, a Native American woman, who came a very great distance and attempted to go to the fence and inveigle the guards to let her in to pray on this site.
And she stood in front of about 300 people in the auditorium over at the university when Dr. Carr, Mr. Carr was giving his presentation.
She wept in front of all these people because Bauman has put up a double fence.
He absolutely will not even let Native Americans or Indigenous peoples from anywhere in the world come and venerate what is a very obviously now sacred site in a nation.
Well, he is being advised by a public relations firm, and I think he ought to fire them because it's the most executable advice if he's following their advice.
And the only thing I can think of, and maybe Enid can contribute to this part of the discussion, is that he is terrified that if there is an image on television of elders or Native peoples praying, the image of this as a sacred cathedral to another set of traditions will be infused in that marvelous medium of television in people's hearts and minds, and the groundswell to save this in place will grow.
And he wants it out of sight, out of mind as quickly as possible, and on with a $120 million project.
What do you think you're preserving in this case, is what I'm asking you?
unidentified
Now, what we think that we are preserving is a contribution to all of us by Native Americans who left either something scientific or they left a mystery for us to try to understand their...
civilization.
And of course, we cannot understand their civilization unless we study the civilization.
Nor can we understand how old it is, I suppose, until we study it further.
unidentified
Right, right.
And that's another reason why we want to preserve it.
Certainly don't want to see a parking lot covering it, because then we will not have the opportunity to learn what it is, what it's all about and and that is something that's very important to us.
Enid, I understand you were a former school principal where well, I was assistant principal, really at South Miami when I went there.
I was there for 20 years.
When I went there it was a junior high school and then they turned it into a middle school, but it's South Miami middle school which is located in South Miami, Florida.
From a legal point of view, Bauman's position has hardened.
He's talking about paying to move it, but he says he won't sell.
He won't entertain offers to sell, nor entertain offers to delay this anymore.
He's gonna go ahead come what may.
He says, is that good?
Is there anything in it that legally, can stand in his way from doing that?
Would Consider It A Miracle00:06:58
unidentified
Well, I guess we haven't really figured out, although we are trying to see if there are other angles that we can take.
Personally and I guess I would consider myself to be a person who well, I would consider myself to be a spiritual person, and I feel that we have to continue to pray for one thing, and that this is really.
This has gotten beyond all of us.
Nobody seems to know just what to do, and I know we talked about I believe her name is Gita, and I went to a vigil last night as she performed some of the Indian rituals at Britain.
Or close to the site, as close as the sense will permit.
And last night there was another candlelight vigil.
They're now regularly held one week apart Tuesday night starting at 5.30.
And Gita held a marvelous, she has an incredible voice.
And in fact, we're hoping to have her on the show on Friday night to lead the nation in a ceremony to appeal to Mr. Bauman's better instincts and his higher sense of who we all are.
Because somehow I feel this situation is not beyond salvage at all.
I'm frankly more optimistic tonight than I've been for the last few weeks that I've been here.
Enid is only one of all kinds of people who've come together and who are really cooperating in an effort, political, cultural, spiritual, financial, to make a miracle happen.
And I have come to believe that this is almost like a symbolic moment where people, as I said a couple nights ago, decide enough is enough and we do something different.
And the more we learn scientifically, Bob Carr gave a very brilliant presentation this afternoon where he laid out some things that I didn't know about what they had discovered and how far back this goes.
He acknowledged tonight that it could be much older.
He showed close-ups of the basins.
He showed how they have a remarkable pattern that they are recurring around the circle.
In other words, there appears to be certain geometry to the basins and certain parts of the circle that are duplicated on the opposite side of the circle.
So whoever did this was a very sophisticated cartographic and engineering expert or experts.
And the minimum, I mean, he affirmed everything I said the other night about this being at the mouth of a delta where the river, you know, and hurricanes tend to destroy the ground cover so that what you basically have is a stripped area that has new stuff that comes down.
And by new, we mean 2,000 years.
It could be much older.
He acknowledges now that some of his own people are saying it could be much older.
And there could be more.
Everyone now admits freely that while giving lip service to preserving and investigating, Bauman has restricted Bob and his colleagues to only that 50 square foot circle.
And when I look at this and I read the stories right now, I'm glad you're optimistic, but it doesn't sound good.
And so far, I haven't heard one person say, well, look, there's something legal that can still stop this, because it sounds to me like you're saying there's nothing legal that can stop this anymore, except to plead with Mr. Bauman not to do it.
This really seems like good bumper music for this topic.
It seems ancient.
Very old.
Kind of unknown.
I'm Art Bell.
Robert Ghostwolf, Richard C. Hoagland, and Enid Pinckney are here.
Enid is the first African-American president of Dade Heritage Trust that tries to save things.
Now, I realize I'm looking at this pragmatically, very hard-bitten, hard-nosed.
But the way I look at it, unless a miracle occurs between now and the 26th, this thing's going to be ripped from the ground as is, best case, and moved.
Back to my guests now, and that is the situation as I see it right now.
And, of course, I'm always sort of a little pessimistic about things.
Enid Pinckney, you were about to say something or wanted to say something at the bottom of the hour.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Yes, we had a volunteer meeting, I think it was last night, and there was a lady there who says that she is an empress of the Washita Nation, an Indian, or a Native American or an Indigenous person.
And she said that because she is from this nation, that she can file suit on behalf of her people.
This afternoon, at the presentation that Bob Carr made at the university, a law professor, an international law professor who is a guest professor here in Miami stood up.
And he said, he announced that he has written a paper dealing with specifically this type of subject, which is Native peoples, indigenous peoples all over the world whose sacred traditions and burial sites and ceremonial centers have been trampled on and defiled by developers, not just in this country, but all over the planet.
It is about to be published by the Harvard Law Review.
I am attempting to get him to come on the show as a guest art because what he said was that the United States is a signatory to an agreement through the OAS, the Organization of American States, and that if this site is developed without federal stay and intervention on the part of the President and the State Department, the United States will be an outlaw in terms of this convention in the world.
The professor is going to fax me the article tomorrow.
I will take a look at it.
I'll have a couple of lawyers here that I know take a look at it.
The people who have been faxing the White House need to have that input to know specifically what to tell the First Lady and Al Gore, who were two targets of Alex Pinellis' phone call at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
Now, we don't have the results yet of the phone call from the Dade County mayor to the White House.
We will probably find out tomorrow morning in the Miami Herald.
But we now have a legal international convention, which we may be in violation of if the United States government does not step in and buy the time required to do the appropriate thing.
The other piece of news that makes me very optimistic is we now have discovered where Mr. Bauman's money is coming from.
It turns out that the money for this project is coming from the Teamsters, from the unions.
There are a lot of union people across America tonight and beyond listening to us, who I am sure are aghast that their funds are being used to desecrate someone's sacred traditions and religion with absolutely not a whimper, not a wink, not anything but get on with the money.
Yeah, it also says here in the article for the Herald, in addition, the county's archaeologist, Carr, said Bauman has tightly restricted the dig to a 50-square-foot area, apparently fearing that other antiquities will be found on the 2.2-acre site.
Well, the point of leverage I would recommend to Americans tonight is if you're a union member, you know, call up your union and tell them how you feel.
Send a fax.
Find out how to get to the head of the Teamsters.
I don't have his fax number handy, but I'm sure someone can fax it to you art out of the vast Art Bell audience.
I mean, the very least I think Mr. Bauman ought to do if he wants to continue with a good spirit is to allow a full evaluation of the area.
I mean, surely Mr. Bauman does not want to be known as somebody who concreted over an ancient, important site, a truly important site.
And if we don't do a careful examination of the site, which he could still allow now, are you listening, Mr. Bauman, then, you know, you're just going to be forever plagued with this if you have any sort of sense of moral correctness within you.
And I suspect you do, or you would not have done what you've already done, or at least I hope you do.
So I would say let the site be examined or this, you know, after it's concrete, why this is, it's going to be one of those things that hangs over you.
I have a letter here from the University of California, Riverside, from a geophysicist at the University of Riverside who is offering to assemble the kind of equipment to do a proper survey.
Remember when I said the other night, just as we were going off the air, that there had been a paper discovered, a scientific paper written in the Journal of the Museum of Miami, Museum of Science in Miami.
We now have identified the article.
We have found the article tonight, and it's extraordinary.
It turns out it was written in 1969, referencing the housing project, the five apartments that were built on this site back in 1948.
In 1948, when workmen were creating the foundations for those apartment buildings, they found something.
And this scientist, Dr. Manson Valentine, who was one of the discoverers of the Bimini Road art, he wrote it up in the Museum Journal in 1969, in February, exactly 30 years ago this month.
He described a 30-foot-wide, not 9-foot, as I said, but 30-foot-wide vertical shaft that the workmen explored down to a depth of 60 feet before they gave up and just covered it over and built the apartment house.
The extraordinary is that the site is so old, that this sacred piece of land is so ancient and so revered that it goes back to around the last ice age when the Atlantic Ocean was several hundred feet lower than it is now.
And that means 13 to 14,000 years ago this complex was begun.
That's the extraordinary.
The unbelievable is that it was done more recently in the last several thousand years by a technology that we have only recently reinvented, meaning hydrological pumps and coffer dams and stuff like that.
The fact is that Bob Carr was so excited when I called him earlier tonight and told him we had found through Gypsy Graves' wonderful efforts a hard copy at the museum of this vital article, which will be facts to all interested parties tomorrow morning.
That we think we now have the lever, the scientific lever, to mandate from the White House a stay on this in compliance with the OAS agreement we have signed as a nation to protect indigenous peoples.
You just, you know, just today when I came back to Washington here to work with some of the elders up in here, because I feel I could do more, I got news that Thomas Banyaka has passed away.
Let me bring up something off the wall since we're discussing pretty extraordinary things.
In some of Edgar Casey's readings, and I am involved heavily in a Fox special to air on March 2nd, which deals, among other things, with Edgar Casey's predictions vis-a-vis Egypt.
Again, the faxes should go to the White House, to the governor, and to CNN, and to Major, Mayor Pinellis.
Those are the four numbers we should give out tonight.
And unequivocally, sources very close to this investigation told me tonight that without the support of the audience all across the country, this thing would have gone under the bulldozer two weeks ago.
And I was also told by sources very close to the investigation that federal help and intervention is the only thing they can look to now to save the day.
Even though there's a history of interest in ancient archaeology and they're going to the pyramids in December of this year for the millennium shift, Governor Jeb Bush has been very silent on this.
In fact, there's been not one peep out of the governor's office.
And finally, give Mayor Pinellas a pat on the back and let him know that you're with him because he's leading the fight now politically here in Dade County.
The Day Heritage Trust has announced that we're establishing an account for our Save Our Circle, and contributions may be sent to Dade Heritage Trust Historic Preservation Center.
I think that it should be mentioned that, from what I've experienced, what's going on is not the sentiment of the people in Miami, and it's definitely not the consentment of...
Well, some enterprising radio station like WINZ, for example, in Miami, could do something like that and take a quick poll and find out what the people of Miami think.
Very articulate, very educated, very fundamental, very much Christian.
And since you probably are the most famous NDE experiencer, your name came up a number of times during the program regarding NDEs.
And I related various aspects of your NDEs to him.
And we had a discussion about prophecy and NDEs in general.
And he said, with respect to NDEs, more specifically the positive ones, I thought that was interesting, that he regarded them as probably not genuine, that while they were interesting and he listened to people who told stories like yours, he thought it entirely possible the information derived during that NDE was bogus, you know, from an evil source even.
I mean, I went through this experience when I was struck by lightning.
And I was 28 minutes completely paralyzed for six days, partially paralyzed for seven months, two years to learn to walk and feed myself, and lost about 50 pounds in the course of that.
And, you know, the struggle along with each day, and sometimes when you're electrocuted, it has a tendency to sometimes alter your perspective on things.
And after going through this, the first time I knew absolutely that there is a way at which we leave this world.
I don't know everything about heaven, and I don't know everything about all what happens afterwards, you know.
But when I went the first time, it was when I was dead.
The next two times, open heart surgery, you know, your heart stops and they have to put you on artificial life support.
And I had a second one.
And then when they did brain surgery, I had a third one.
Well, now there was one thing I'd like to note here, and that is when we talked, I had, God, Dan, it was the most incredible description I've ever heard of a negative NDE given by this young lady.
It took about an hour and a half, two hours to unfold, and it's the most vivid, impressive, shocking, amazing story you've ever heard in your whole life.
This young lady went to places where there were hell, where there was absolutely hell.
There's no question about it.
And then places where there was not hell, where there was a light being of some sort.
But it was fascinating.
Absolutely fascinating.
And he said, Hal Lindsay said, of those negative experiences, that he believed them.
So the positive message that the Christ brought back from the dead, that he could raise himself from the dead to show us that there was a life after death and that there were many mansions in my father's house, which is the definition of the crystal cities.
Now, he can't believe that one based on the theory of looking at what we're saying.
But the fact that there is a place that establishes hell is a criterion that he is using to give validity to his own particular perspective on what is good and bad and what is the afterlife.
Yeah, I never, you know, I never intended to become the prophet.
I never intended to become what I'm really known for.
I mean, I'm known a lot about what the predictions were in the book.
All I did was describe what I saw and what happened when I was over there in the Crystal City.
And so much of the stuff, you know, some of them are so accurate and so precise that it just is the way we're going.
But it all leads to a time around 2009, 10, 11, and 12 that a whole new mergence of how we see and know and understand the world will have changed by then.
And so the fact that just like what we were talking earlier, Box 4 and 5 literally describes the Oslo Accord and the Wide River Peace Accord, the disappearance of Jordan and all the things, you know, Jordan is Palestine until World War I, it was Palestine.
And when they collapsed the old Ottoman Empire, they created, the British created Jordan as a nation.
But what I think Lindsay was saying, Hal Lindsay was saying, was that real as they seemed to you, and he didn't doubt that you went to a place and saw things, he simply was suggesting that from his point of view, you were being fooled.
I believe, listen, Hal Lindsay prophesies his interpretation of the Bible.
He interprets the Bible and what it says, and then he takes a very strong stand on the fact that this is what the Bible, as he interprets, prophesies, like the book of Revelation.
Well, I can see a lot of the things from what I went through that have a lot to do with Revelations.
I can see that where some of the things I hear in Revelations, and in others I didn't see it at all.
But I can see how the World War, the 2 million yellow man army, and they're now building the Free Gorge Dam in China, this river where a 200 million yellow man army could cross from one region into another region that's in Genesis.
But when you look at Genesis, when you take a good look at, I mean, when you look at the Revelation of John, not Genesis, the Revelation of John, the book of Revelations, then he's doing the same thing.
When I had this information, I just wrote it down and I talked about it because I was trying to understand the near-death experience.
I never believed in any of that stuff.
I had no basis.
I was a How Lindsay-based mentality from being in the Deep South, but I had no way to understand what had happened to me.
I just knew it happened to me, and I lay in a bed for almost two years and had a lot of time to think about it.
I mean, she was, you know, as serious as what happened to you.
And here she was, I mean, here you were the meanest bastard in town, and here she was coming back from a church social voluntary function, got whacked by a car and went to hell.
Now, let's stop and think about this for a minute.
Well, I mean, you know, we don't, I don't understand all that art.
I've talked to people.
I mean, I feel sorry for her, and I hope that everybody that's the art knots, like I always do, let's take a moment and surround that lady with love and light.
Every single 9 million or how many million of people are listed.
Take a moment and surround her with as much love and as much.
But see, there's a lot to do with the spiritual nature.
That person that's riding that bicycle could be a great master.
I mean, I've learned to live and accept so many things that I never would have to think before.
And that because of the incident and where she went and the sense of what was going on, I don't know what the sermon was about that Sunday.
I don't know, you know, because I've been researching near-death experiences now for 23 years, and a lot of situations that you find yourself in, and as you're describing the event, you look before, you look after, you see what's on that person's mind, because the mind is a powerful, powerful thing.
I don't know what the sermon was about or what she was at the social, what was the conversations there.
So there could be a trigger mechanism planted in her thought as she moved to that dimension that she got to see and understand that place as it existed.
I mean, I don't really understand a lot of that stuff because I've had, I've talked to people who had some of the scariest stuff in the world happen to them.
But of course, I can tell you straight on, Dan, if I had an NDE, you know, and I was really clinically four feet in the air, and I went to hell and I came back.
I mean, I'm the kind of person, if I went to hell, I'd come back and tell you I went to hell, you know.
But a lot of people that I've talked to, they, you know, there's a side of me that understands the near-death experience, and it's them looking for answers.
That's where I get my ratio from.
I've probably talked to maybe 1,500 people worldwide who had serious NDEs, and then I've heard some really hellish experiences.
But when you look at all the situations that are around and you take all those things, all those factors in, you can sometimes see a pattern about it.
It could have been a lot of what the sermon was about, and she passed through those levels.
The fact that she came back and how it affected and changed her life, I mean, I know that would is the most important point to me.
She saw several entrance places, one of which she went in, which was clearly hell, another which she looked in, which was clearly hell but did not go into, and then spent a period of time with a being of light, and then at the final moment decided herself, essentially, that she was going to come back and then did.
I mean, it's a very interesting story, but I just, I, hold on, Dan, we're coming to the bottom of the RI.
I really would like to understand why the apparently good, any given Sunday sermon or not, would go and have a hellish experience, and the obviously bad would go to a good place.

This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
Now, we take you back to the path on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
You know, people need to know that, that not all the old Dan is gone.
Occasionally, occasionally Dr. Jekyll shows up, and you still have sort of if the cause is perhaps a little different now that you're older, but you still have a, you're quick to anger, quick to become less than a, in certain circumstances, a fully loving, converted person.
But it wasn't like where this young lady described.
But I have heard this exact story.
I mean, I've heard this exact story literally told like that from the different levels of where a person explored.
But when you have a panoramic life review and you literally become everything, you see your whole life pass before you and then you watch it second person and then you literally become every person that you've ever encountered.
And you have to feel the direct results of your interaction.
That's hell.
That is a hellish experience because I had created so much.
You know, I was just a complete jackass.
And I created, and I'm still a jackass, but not quite as bad because the system of judgment is if God couldn't come today and God sent me, then in the world I'm now living in, what difference did God make?
I'd have to say that where he got that from, because I've heard that, but someone brought that up to me before, because I had a past, present, and future reviews.
And I saw, and so wherever that concept came from, I don't know if we've ever looked in Dickinson's writings to find out where that concept came from, but I would very much agree with that.
And I don't know why I saw the future art.
I've worried about it, like this lady seeing levels of hell.
I can remember standing in a place in the early moments after I'd had the panoramic life review.
And I could see, because I had a few moments like I was supposed to forgive myself.
And I couldn't bring myself for some things I had done.
I couldn't forgive myself for them.
I think that had a lot to do why I had to go back with open heart surgery in 1989.
And then why in 1997, because of the mental place, you know, then next was my brain.
Electrocution is spiritual.
That's an act of God.
only thing that is in a legal court that you can sue someone and they can use an act of God as the defense in a legal and stand and use an act of God in a federal court as their defense.
So I think it was pretty interesting that my spiritual self and then my heart and then my mind, each one is affected, parts taken away and those kinds of things looking at spirituality.
But I don't know why.
It was I believe that the things that I saw that were future events, like, you know, Chernobyl and the desert storm and the advances in medical technology using natural ways again and the light healing machines.
I mean this is there's nothing new about what I talk about.
They're all the same things.
But at a place right after, before I went to the Crystal Cities and before I received this information, after I had the life review, there was a place in there to forgive myself.
I couldn't do it.
At that time, they were always around me.
I became aware of two things.
And I used to put this in the lecture all the time.
I could see beings below me.
And they were like me.
They were still spiritual light beings because I was a being built of light.
And as I would see them, they were moving and I would focus on them.
The level became so slow.
You know, it was, oh, it was horrifyingly pain, not painful, but the fact of the resonant that was so slow that I could not bear it or stand it.
And then above me, to my left, I could see beings that looked like me.
And when I focused on them, it was like drinking 25 cups of coffee.
The frequency was so high and so more pure than the level of where I was then, I couldn't stay there.
And in the story that young lady told the other morning, Dan, maybe it's true that people die, and they, in effect, judge themselves, and in effect, condemn themselves to hell.
In other words, they cannot forgive themselves.
They accept that.
They place themselves in that horrible place, and they keep themselves there.
After when you passed into the Crystal City, when I began to move toward these cities, like seeing Denver from the desert, you know, like going into Denver, they were beautiful cities, and they were lighted.
They were like built of glass.
As I moved into these places and I began to expand outward before I had the visions, I was really aware that there were multi-levels and multi-dimensions and that I could live in simultaneous thought patterns and places.
I mean, it was amazing, Art, the expansive power of being a spiritual being again.
I could sense anything I wanted to sense.
I had just seen enough of bad things.
I guess if that was what I was after, I would have seen more.
I mean, after my panoramic life review.
But when I moved into the Crystal Cities and I lived in these events, these boxes were, I was back in a world of like this reality, the physical reality, and I was actually there.
I mean, you were sent into the past, into the present, into the future.
You got to actually look at what would occur.
You came back, you documented it.
Nobody can argue about that.
No, it did it.
There's another thing that nobody can argue about, and that I can attest to, not very frequently when I have a guest on, am I able to say I know something for sure.
But there is one thing I know for sure about Dan Brinkley, and that is that you do have, at times, in my opinion, worrisome psychic powers that I've seen demonstrated again and again and again.
No one needs to tell me it's true.
It's true.
It came from somewhere, and it sure didn't come from your youth.
There was a whole new medical paradigm called chiromunal medicine that the National Institute for Health of Offices of Rare Diseases and Disorders has established the fact that people who are struck by lightning act totally different in their makeup and their nature of people who are electrocuted or hit the power pole or things like that.
Well, I mean, I'm so comfortable with the process, Art.
And I'm literally the person.
I know.
Last night with this guy, he was almost coma, but I could go and enter his consciousness and see what is holding him as he was struggling, this prostrate cancer that's completely wiped him out, and what was holding him.
And the two other people with me from Compassionate Action, I told them what I perceived.
When his cousin and her husband got there, I asked them about the guy.
I even had his name.
And I asked them if this had occurred in their family relationship and if this was happening.
And they verified it to the letter, everything that I had said.
And my two people looked at me, but it was me trying to help him.
Oh no, i'd like anything he says, you see, because you know what art.
When people talk about how, like what Hal does and I like some of How Lindsay's stuff I think he's trying to alert people to open up their spiritual consciousness.
This lady was able to look and choose for herself.
Look at the, the basis of it.
I know that those realms can exist because you have the potential to create those realms whenever you choose and when you get on the other side, what will be amazing is how much you have to learn that.
Learn to slow down.
If I would have stayed longer, they had something.
They wanted me to come back and do.
The seven centers, the eight rooms and the centers and to create a level of consciousness to bridge those two worlds where people can go through the process of visiting with their relatives and have certain aspects of the near-death experience and out-of-the-body experiences.
I mean when I do this, when I'm home, is I develop these programs just to what they sent me back to do.
What it says in Saved And At Peace, I'm almost there, 23 years ago, from what my father can.
You know.
My father's a very wonderful, wonderful person.
I know your dad but he's very conservative.
But you know this.
My dad has heard this stuff now for 23 years.
He watches me be so close to completing a system of eight rooms combined in the program, like it says in Saved, that allows people to be able to move between these two worlds, that death will become something where we won't even think about it.
You will be able to move through and see how the transition works and also create a nature of healing the stress that's caused by the fear.
This is a lady and my heart goes out to her.
I've seen people have these kinds of experiences that terrify them.
She also uh, described a period of time where she came to a white light and spent a period of time with it in which there was incredible peace, and she said so much so, and she remained for a long time, but she finally tired of it and left there and went back by these other places she had seen and then came back to her body.
That's a quick summation of what she said over a couple of hours, but it was just absolutely uh, wonderfully detailed.
And when you live in it and you talk to people and the comfort zone that they have with you because you're there with them and they've been resuscitated, and a lot of people don't even, I don't tell my story unless I can help someone with it.
When you're with someone who's dying, Dan, I asked you this earlier privately on the phone, and I'll ask you again publicly.
I know the comfort you give the dying.
You spend time with dying vets, sometimes several a day.
People don't know that.
It must be intensely difficult, draining work to do to be with several people who are dying every day.
And you tell them what lies on the other side as you know it.
Are there ever, ever times, Dan, when you're not sure you're telling them the truth or where you even have the slightest doubt where in your mind, you might imagine you're telling them something good and comforting, but it might not be the truth.
See, remember, there's that Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Daniel side of me, too.
I tell people exactly what I think they are looking for, but I would not tell them if I didn't know this for sure and I hadn't gone through it three times and know this.
And remember, the first time I had no preparation, no idea.
But the next two times, I had days to prepare, to think, to look at it, to study it, if I was going to have one, if I was even going to survive.
See, because the second time, I wouldn't even, when I was going to have open heart surgery art, I wouldn't even sign the papers for them to do the surgery.
I was going because I felt so bad in the chest pains and the kind of things that were happening to me and what lightning does to you.
And I'm still, you know, where I am with the problems that I have.
I had to make the choice of having open heart surgery or die within a matter of three hours.
I took the three hours.
Now, I knew after 14 years where this wondrous place was.
And when I went back, I went through the same system and I went to another place, another area, an arena that I learned more information about the stuff I was doing and what I was to work on and how I was supposed to do it.
The third time, which is the most natural or normal near-death experience, if you can call them that, but I learned about dimensional personalities and the multifacets of what it takes to be this physical being.
We're spiritual, mental, emotional, ethereal, and physical, all at the same time.
I try to tell people the things that I think will help them grow in their spiritual way and to try to give that kind of advice.
I pick up so much about people.
And, you know, if I touch someone, literally, I live in their life at that moment where I don't drive so much.
You know, I drive sometimes, but I can pass somebody on the road or sit at a stoplight and look at them.
I know.
And I'm living in their life or I'm seeing these things about them.
And, you know, it's pretty unsettling.
I've taken 23 years to try to learn how to handle it, to look at where it comes from, try to help people develop their own kind of intuitiveness so you can be more trusting in the world that you live in and what you're hearing.
You don't hear me arguing about it, but as long as we're on that Army subject, I wanted everybody out there to know it's national salute to hospice veterans from the 14th to the 20th.
And it's, you know, the program is salute to our hospitalized veterans.
And I want everybody to never use any other stamp in the world except hospice recognition stamps so that every piece of mail you send out, you make a statement about the quality of what hospice care is.
And I want to try to improve the world's perspective because hospice is a great organization and it's about helping you deal with the loss and helping someone who is terminal be able to be home and be able to have the gentleness and the kindness of their families and to resolve the issues that are in between them because I see so much of that stuff.
You tell them how much you love them, and you talk about some of the, you pick out the best experiences when you laughed, when you did something together.
The key to a person in transition art is that the panoramic life review begins to be the early art form.
The very moment a person finds that when you have the panoramic life review on the other side, anything we do on this side that helps that begin, then the person sees dignity, value, and purpose in their life.
And to be there, the fact that you're there is wondrous.
The next thing is you tell them the funny things about what happened in your life or the things that they've done so that the value of that person's life in the pain, the anguish, and brain cancer is really horrible and it is so painful.
And she's probably heavily sedated, especially with the brain, because I know the pressure of what happens in your brain.
And mostly to touch them, to hold their hand, and to talk about how much fun, how good they were, and the things that the most joyous moments in your life that you could remember being with that person.
And to be comfortable in knowing, they'll just lift out of that body, and they'll move down that tunnel, and they'll come to a place of love and beautiful light.
And if they have their panoramic life review, the last thing they're going to see, if she's that close, is you having that, her and you having that conversation together.
And when you realize that you're going to feel, she's going to feel the love that you're sending to her and the joy that you had, not the sorrow, because she's going home and she's going back to where she came from.
And this is the key to it.
Because when a person can help find that points of their life of its value, and it comes from someone who loves them, and they're comfortable in that place, then the transition to the other side is much simpler.
Now, I would also take something that's her favorite fragrance.
I like lavenders and frankincense and aromatherapy things.
I always use aromatherapy.
And I would play music.
Because the arts, some of the stuff you have is really, really great for it.
And you take music.
You change there.
You turn the damn television off.
You sit and breathe and be comfortable and surround that person with your love.
You put a fragrance there that's a calming fragrance like an aromatherapy or an alert, whatever you think they might need.
And then you play a little music.
And you put music in the background of your conversations because you have ethereal bodies.
You know, you have these auric bodies and their vibrations and their resonance and they're built of music or color or light.
And to affect those bodies helps that person in transition.
You know, Twilight Brigade, this compassion in action, which is the foundation, we train.
I mean, it's this Twilight Brigade, www.twilightbrigade.com.
And we train people as volunteer hospice.
And everybody's going to be a hospice volunteer.
You know, when you look at where we all are as baby boomers, the 81 million of us in this country, we're losing our moms and dads.
And you have an 81% chance that a relative is going to turn to you before they turn to a doctor or turn to clergy.
No, I couldn't, Dan, because I don't believe I'm being, you know, this is a night for me to be just straight out with you because we're such good friends.
Yeah, even here on the air.
I don't believe with the concrete belief system that you have, because you've been there and I haven't, that I don't even know for sure, Dan.
I suspect there's an afterlife, but I don't know it for sure.
And I couldn't sit down next to somebody who's dying and lie to them.
But Art, the loneliness that that person is usually experiencing, especially with veterans, they don't give a crap what you're saying to them as long as you're there.
I mean, that a person is there gives dignity to their life and that they're willing to sit there hours on end.
Art, maybe they just want to tell somebody their life.
A lot of times I never tell them.
I don't tell everybody, hi, I'm Daniel.
I've been dead.
This is what's going to happen.
Get ready.
I mean, people have different beliefs and their own belief systems.
I pick and choose the people who ask the questions.
But most of the time, I listen.
I want to know the great moments in their life.
I want them to tell me there's like the little big man with the Dustin Hoffman and like that movie about Billy the Kid that had Emilio Estavez in it.
I mean, I want to hear your life story.
And I don't want to, if you're Christian or you're Jewish or you're Islamic, I'm not going to try in the final days of your life to try to change any of that.
And I train my people that way.
You don't do that.
To be there so a person has a place to look, that you're a volunteer.
But, Dan, Hal Lindsay would say that you would best spend your time, your final time with somebody like this, telling them the only way to God, which is Jesus.
And I don't think I'm misquoting Hal Lindsay.
He would say that would be your best spent time getting them in whatever final moments they might have to come to Jesus.
Well, I think there are more ways to find what you're after.
I believe in the Christian concept, and I believe that knowing the Christ is a consciousness, doing others you would have others do unto you, love thy neighbor as thyself.
Because when you have a panoramic life review, you literally become everybody.
And when you say love thy neighbor as thyself, you're really going to do that anyway.
And the one damnable, jealous, hateful God that we had in Yahweh and sometimes in the perspectives of the Middle Eastern concepts, there had to come a change.
And this master came.
And I think Huhashua ben Hosef and the Christ are one is a man and the other was a person that had anointed through an experience of traveling to mystical schools and learning to be able to be a great teacher.
I think there are many great masters.
I don't think to me that the Christ is the single only point because when someone tells me, like, you know, when you go all over the world, I've been in 81 countries, and I've seen a mountain man in Laos with his little tribe and him be the finest, most wonderful father-protective image in the tribal elders.
I wonder if it's true that we all live as long as we're ghosts that you can see even though we're gone.
Is that the way it works?
unidentified
I walk away like a movie star who gets burning a three-way strip Into number two, a movie green, the player scene of bringing all the good things out in me.
But for now, let's be real.
I never thought I could act this way.
And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back.
You know, Art, when you and I came together with the Basta Deem and Visions Travel, and we saw the wars that were going on between all the people, we came together and brought them together.
And I believe that what is a direct result of our efforts is the fact that they are now going live on March the 2nd with Fox, and they're going to open tombs, things that have been sealed for 4,000 years, and to open up these tombs and to open up chambers that heretofore no one's ever even described.
Most of them said it didn't exist.
Because of the ability to be opened and the openness that's been discovered because of the work we've done.
I mean, you talk to the people and you've narrated.
The door that the member, the German with the robot who went into the air shaft and they found the door.
And they're going to open this up.
They're going to, they're opening up to let people look and see more stuff than ever.
And I think it was because of the great debate that we had last year that you were the moderator on, and people respect your opinions and what you see because you're very, very open-minded.
But you're very good at looking at those situations.
And I think that this great debate that's going to be in Egypt on March the 8th, I mean, I know I'm going to be there because it'll decide and help put input into what all these issues are.
See, Art, I believe, just like this place in Miami, these sites and what Robert said, these mystical sites, they weren't just chosen because they were at the mouth of a river.
And to be able to be a part, you know, you and I talked when I was visiting you, to be able to be a part of the unfoldment of mysteries that literally will change the whole anthropological way that we look at ourselves, our heritage, our history, our religions, our traditions.
And to watch what happens in this next between now and the year 2001, and much of the stuff I talk about in the predictions are things that I see that can be affected.
The one that was emerged underwater for literally a thousand years, and it was a myth for 2,700 years.
There was nothing there.
But I think as they finish draining this, what's going to be discovered is the possibility of interconnecting chambers what Herodotus spoke about.
And this one that's been there forever, who knows?
But I know there'll be something there that begins to, that's been closed for 4,000 years, and they know it's still sealed.
And what they discover in there will probably be a lot of archaeological aspects that more than likely reinforce what the conventional archaeologists say and Egyptologists say.
But you know, Art, when I sit back and look where in my 20 years of looking at Giza and roaming the Middle East, the fact that they now say there's another chamber in the pyramid, and it's in the Great Pyramid, and they're starting to open up and let people start to look and see.
And there'll be more and more discoveries because of the openness that came about through what we've done.
All right, well, we'll come back to that because all the same people are involved with this great debate that's going on, and we'll go through who's going to be there and whether we're going to be there.
I believe that the level of consciousness will that level of consciousness, using that, the energy which I think is a type of scalar energy, will literally begin to raise the consciousness of, especially on the plateau, but everywhere in the world.
Oh, there's no doubt, in my see, art from, from being able to sit in this pyramid.
And you know, because I can travel dimensionally and I don't say it like I'm Buck Rogers this stuff happens to me and there's nothing I can do about it.
So I use it for tools.
You know, I've solved murders.
I've, you know found, you know, I've found things and I know what you've done.
I see that this, when this triggers and it starts, we live in a new world.
That energy will begin to raise everyone's consciousness, we will heighten our own sensitivity, people will become more intuitive and to build up to that why I like everything that's being built up to that, is that we get a chance to interact.
I get a chance, at 48 years old, to be a part of bringing back what I think is the Hermetic tradition, to bring back that true search and spiritual understanding mixed with understanding, science and like a new reformation.
And I think that every one of us who has a chance to take part in this and to become a part of elevating the consciousness and seeing what really is about to occur.
It's one of the most dramatic events of my lifetime.
Okay, let's put that in one hand and then, on the other hand, let's talk about the Middle East for a second, because in May, it's my understanding, we argue about the dates a little and may have them wrong, but in May, early May sometime, Yelser Arafat is going to say that the Palestinians are now an independent state.
When they say that, all hell's going to break loose well, it'll wait till May 13th, see May 13th because of when Netanyahu's government collapsed over the why of the why peace agreement.
Okay, then they have to.
Then what's got to happen?
They have to re-elect a new president, right okay?
So from that moment on, we'll see.
You see, I believe that there's a peaceful resolution to this and I think, being a part of everything that we're doing and everything that we talk about.
But I believe, Art, and this is one thing I keep coming back to.
I have seen the power of every little individual person and every big person and every medium-sized person and the power of their thoughts and the power of their prayers and the power of their identity to come to change.
Y'all, you know, people on the radio and Art Bell Show and other places and prayer groups saved my life, and there's no question.
And it was one of the most startling revelations to me I have ever seen at 48, 47 years old.
Well, Art, I mean, we've talked about setting up programs designed by Larry Dalcy to do prayer in groups across the country using the Art Berl Bell Chat Club.
You know, when you see the power that the trust that people put in you and what we're capable of doing, then we have the ability, I believe, like just following it up on the Egypt thing, the things that we're talking about, and to get people, keep them aware and keep them alert and keep reporting to them what's going on, that we control.
It's not out of our hands.
We can control and change destiny.
I want that energy to raise.
I want it to raise and bring back and open up so many sacred sites all over the world, just like them finding this place.
But the people who will argue with you, who did argue with you on the cruise when we did the great debate, and will argue even in stronger language, should I decide to go to Egypt and you decide to go to Egypt.
Right.
These people will say, Daniel, come on, you're full of it.
We know when these structures were built, Zahi will say, I know how they were built.
He will probably bring out a big piece of limestone and crack it in half.
I'm planning to be home in my chair with my feet propped up and feeling that energy as it comes and being able to watch it because it's going to be televised.
I think that Y2K really is the point of the beginning of the change of consciousness.
I mean, when you have a time-dated chip, time-dated chip that they've known about for years and years and years, they've spent $850 billion to try to correct up to 40%.
When Mr. Clinton, when President Clinton went on the air and he says Social Security is safe, and then he said, because we've corrected it.
And then he said, 2,800 people have been working around the clock seven days a week, I mean, around the clock to correct this.
Listen to what, and these people are making $200 an hour, man.
Anybody who sticks their head in the sand on this and doesn't prepare for this is a fool.
I have no problem about it.
I find very good things about it myself because it gives us a chance to, when they cut the power grids and, you know, like people don't realize they get their electricity.
We in South Carolina, we buy some of our electricity from Canada somewhere or New York and the power grids and air traffic controllers and our defense systems and all those kinds of things.
There's going to be disruption.
And in that disruption, at the same time we put this capstone on, then there will be a sense of consciousness and a whole re-renewal of ourselves, our kinship with our neighbors, our perspective about our government, our perspective about each of the aspects of our life because it's about to stop.
Well, again, Dan, we come to the same exact juncture we just left a moment ago.
We have that on the one hand.
It may work out that way.
A great consciousness change from the capstone to Y2K and what it brings.
But on the other hand, there is a terrible fear that these people that you talk about that will come together in a loving way will instead end up shooting each other over food and rioting and looting and pillaging and raping and all of the rest of that that goes with anarchy.
Then think about it from the aspect if it's going to be the dead of winter and it's going to be a freezing winter.
And then you start looking at, you know, I write about it in Saved by the Light, especially dealing with literally where people are eating each other and the destruction that comes about in that.
And then look at the third, the third world countries all fare a lot better because they don't really have much, you know, they you saw South Africa, you see where that is.
Oh, yeah, there's going to be no problem that we will notice that.
But see, the Y2K combined, it's a time for everybody to look forward to taking stock in their lives and know that disruption is going to be a part and to get our heads out of the sand.
Then there's also the other part.
There is the Federal Emergency Preparedness Act.
There's FEMA.
It suspends the Constitution.
The government takes possession of everything.
It suspends the Senate.
It suspends all your local representation.
And the United States is divided into like 10 districts.
And from Austin, Texas, Bob writes simply, Hey, Art, I am baffled and do not understand your feelings toward doing hospice work yourself.
Well, that's, Bob, because you may not understand me.
Because I give light to all kinds of views on this program, because I talk about all kinds of things on this program, people automatically assume that I believe all things on this program, and I don't.
I believe things that I have touched and seen and can feel.
I am bereft of the ability to take a leap of faith that has made so many of you out there comfortable.
I'm giving you an honest answer, Bob.
And so, without being able to go to a bedside with the honest feeling that I knew exactly what was coming and could comfort that person, I don't think I could do it, Bob.
So, you asked an honest question, and I just gave you an honest answer.
Maybe I'm more of a skeptic than most people out there think.
It's a good forum, but it doesn't mean that I believe all that's on this forum, nor should you.
It's just one of the freest, most open forums in the world, that's all.
Art, the answer to your question, why does an obviously bad man experience city of light, N-D-E, and a churchgoer experience hell was addressed by Hal Lindsey last night.
You know, God loves man, his creation, so much that he became a man and died in place of man to pay the price for sin.
You only have to accept that salvation to have eternal life with God in heaven.
It is a gift.
You don't do anything to earn that gift.
You just accept it or you don't.
Now listen carefully here.
It isn't based on how good you are or how bad you are.
God does not grade on a curve.
One sin, one sin, is enough to exclude you from God's presence.
He is too holy.
Sin cannot exist in his heaven.
Only one man never sinned, and he was the one who paid the penalty for all.
You can't get me to believe that because the whole purpose, I mean, I've studied the Christian doctrine, and where that came about is that your deeds meant nothing.
You could only be saved by grace, which was initiated by the Catholic Church in an edict, I think, somewhere in the 15 or early 1600s, one of the papal edicts that came about that you could only be saved by grace.
And then the development of the split between Luther attacked the 99 thesis on the church door during what started the reform movement or the Protestant movement in it.
But when your life passes before you and you have three near-death experiences and you see the panoramic life review, and you know you're going to be every person that you ever encounter, then the whole context of my life changed.
I went from being the biggest jerk in the world to just a medium-sized jerk.
And I started to care about what are you laughing at.
His broad mind brings more common sense than some may realize.
Mr. Lindsay is a warm and compassionate man, but after listening to him last night and then Mr. Brinkley tonight, for me, it's like going from a hot, barren desert to a body of peaceful waters from Ross.
Well, I think that this is a part of the beginning of us reawakening.
This site is very, it's important.
I remember the study of the Indian tribe that they flourished in around 600 A.D.
And when the Spanish came in 14 in the 40, you know, in early 1500s, they killed them all off and made slaves and gave them diseases.
But the way that I went and looked at all that information, and I looked at how the layout, the way the astrological configurations, and I believe that this is another one of those places that proved there were cultures.
There was a culture that had to exist before our culture.
And that a lot of the things and a lot of the ability to construct these things came from there.
And I think maybe that someone wants to stop this or wants to pave over it or just move it because they're maybe aware of what happens.
And a guy who discovered certain aspects that messed up medical, I mean, messed up the history of anthropology and archaeology, they just kind of pushed him to the side.
But I believe this is just another one of those great sacred sites.
Now, I'm a lot like Art in what's going to happen to it, and I think that the attitude that we had better take is how to photograph it, do a lot of maybe a satellite photograph with NASA or one of the space agencies or one of the intelligence agencies to photograph this site and mark it down and then measure it because, you know, I doubt that they'll be able to preserve it.
So I've got a couple of things that I want to say, and I've written them down so that I can be brief.
First of all, I'd love to send you five bucks or something, Daniel, if you can give an address for me and probably thousands of other people to do that.
I mean, from the bottom of my heart, it's compassion and action.
I mean, because, see, we're a purely volunteer organization.
We're purely volunteers.
And so, you know, I don't like to have people for money, but I'm not afraid to ask them, and I'm just really thankful.
So thank you.
unidentified
You're welcome.
And thank you for all of the great stuff that you're doing.
I wanted to say a couple of things about the NDEs and, you know, good things happening to bad people and vice versa.
And, you know, understanding is such an important aspect of compassion.
And I think that when good people have bad experiences and vice versa, that that really provides a cornerstone for compassion in their lives and that when they come back, they have a balanced place to come from and to take action from.
And what you do when you go into the hostels is incredible.
And if people don't feel that that's always appropriate for them, I think it's good to remember that we can all afford to be a little bit more kind in our interactions with each other, just in general.
We have a section called, I believe that the breath is the power.
And so we have what's called the cuddlers also, where babies who just come into this world, crack babies and children who just come into this world, we have a section that goes and holds children and puts love around children.
Please make those checks to CIA and not to Daniel Brinkley.
Make them to compassionate action.
I think that the power of the breath, the first breath or the last breath, and if we care about those coming in this world and we care about those leaving, then those of us who are in the middle become strengthened.
We have better vision, better hopes, better dreams, and better aspirations because we just added this one more.
We put one more step toward all of us loving each other in this world.
unidentified
Yeah, I absolutely agree with you.
My chiropractor says that she sees older people and the only physical contact that they get is when they're in her office.
Just like art, what art allows me to talk about, he lets me talk about, like everyone else wants to talk about our issues.
But we're making a difference.
Just you talking and you calling and art being able to talk about it, people will venture.
People will venture out.
They will hunt their local hospice.
They will start looking at this.
They'll look at the rights because we're having to make decisions about our moms and dads and brothers and sisters.
It's not something to ponder.
It's time for action.
And the more we understand that the process called death, the more we can truly empower ourselves to live life.
And I'm trying.
That's what I try to do.
You know, I'm a guy who has a pretty good time.
And I have a lot of fun in my life, although it's very limited now because of all the crap I've been through.
But I want people to love this life.
I think it's a great opportunity that we come to be co-creators and to live every moment and every day with as much joy and intensity and study and learning that we can possibly can.
But you see, listen, guys, hospice doesn't, you don't have to tell them there's an afterlife.
You can tell them that you don't know.
They need to process the end of their life.
They need somebody to listen.
They need to go back through a lot of things.
It doesn't just require being able to tell a person there's a life after death.
It requires that there's a quality of their life right then and that you've come to bear witness to that fact so that they can process.
A lot of people who are just by themselves and they're lying in a hospital bed or in a VA, they got no one except to keep boiling that stuff over in their minds.
You walk in and you just sit down and let them talk.
You'll be amazed at what you learn.
And you'll be amazed at what that person got to process something that you could just think about.
I have a lot of hospice friends who I never bring up the afterlife.
I never even bring it up because I'm not trying to push anything on anybody.
I want that person to know that the dignity of their life and who they are is appreciated.
And that's what, you know, we train volunteers.
We train people how to handle every type of situation.
And so you know when to shut up or you know when to bring up something or when not to.
I mean this is we one of our parts of our training is how to be a good listener.
And it doesn't, you know, the quality and the dignity of that person's life means something and they have somebody to help them in it.
And maybe, you know, a lot of times you hear about what they wish they had done and that they could live their life over.
And there are questions that you can ask, but that person really gets to review their life.
And you never talk about it.
You can just say, look, I don't know if there's a life after death.
I just want you to be able to tell me your life story.
And so you've got to shift your perspective a little to understand the hesitancy that we would feel in that kind of situation, not being able to give the kind of assurance that you can give.
Well, it blocks brain receptors for the neurotransmitter glutamate.
And my thought is that it does alter consciousness to mimic the NDE.
What I am afraid of, and I think that you can probably express it, is that other than just an altered state of consciousness, because death, that may be near-death, and it's pure semantics.
But what about death where Riga Mortis sets in and it would actually take cells to rejuvenate?
Can you imagine being in a green room, that little waiting room before you go on a TV show, and hearing an astronaut's handler tell him what he can't talk about?
I'm going to read you something that I hope I don't get in trouble for reading you, but I'm going to do it whether I do or not.
It's to Ann Landers.
It appeared in Ann Landers' Nationally Syndicated Newspaper column.
November 11th, the world observed the 80th anniversary of the end of World War I. 80 years ago on that date, a reporter wrote last night, for the first time since August in the first year of the war, there was no light of gunfire in the sky, no sudden stabs of flame through darkness, no spreading glow above black trees where for four years of nights human beings were smashed to death.
The fires of hell had been put out.
Those who put the fires of hell out were our nation's veterans.
All Americans owe eternal gratitude to them.
Not only those who fought in World War I, but those who served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and so many others, our veterans have always responded when their country called, no matter what dangers they had to face, no matter what trials they had to undergo.
And I might add, no matter what kind of war they were told they had to fight.
Ms. Landers, this goes on, every year America's hospitalized vets look forward with great anticipation to your Valentines for Vets program.
By sending them Valentines from all over the world, your readers show hospitalized veterans that we are still grateful for their service and their sacrifices in 1999.
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VA, National Salute to Hospitalized Veterans will be observed the week of February 14th through the 20th.
Your readers can mail their Valentines to their nearest VA medical center, or they can be personally delivered.
For the location of the nearest facility, readers should check their local telephone directory.
They can also get addresses at the department's website, www.va.gov.
It's signed.
Thank you for your loyal support of our nation's veterans.
Sincerely, Togo D. West Jr., Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs, Washington, D.C. Here once again is Daniel Brinkley.
Well, it takes, remember on the other side, which is where's the other side, but when you're there, time and space don't really have a meaning like we have now in dealing with the nature of quantum.
You know quantum dynamics and quantum physics.
On this side we have to have space and we have to have time.
Your life review goes by in seconds, but it's the same.
As you go back through your every day, every life, every breath you breathed in and out, every thought that you had everything.
Trust me and listen, three times I've had to go through the first 25 years.
You know they don't like let me skip over a part Barb they, I have to go back through that same stuff every time.
So and you know, I would like to say something else I would really like to have have a near-death experience, not from being hit by a car and what that young lady went through, but to be able to go and see these places and these levels and then go to the light and know that she could stay there and then to go back and check out hell again and then to ease on back to the world.
Get to a computer and listen to that Daniel young lady.
Did you hear that young lady the other morning explain that near-death.

No uh-uh, I'm sorry, when I'm in her bar.
Well then, you've got to go listen to yeah um, another question um, does God allow the loved ones say there's turmoil here on earth?
Does God allow the loved ones to come back and check?
Oh sure, and if there's turmoil now and the the loved one see, I lost my mother four months ago.
All but heaven gained her too Barb, yeah and yeah, and I'm glad I'm, I'm very, very happy, accepted that it's still hard on me because I miss her, because I loved her dearly, oh yeah, but remember, we all grieve.
I mean, you take your time, you'll miss, you miss her.
You can cry when you want to, you can laugh when you want to, but try to do this for me, make you a list some afternoon of the funniest things that you ever saw happen between the two of you, or the funniest things she ever did.
That is the key to be able to keep in close contact.
It's not the sadness or the loss, it's the humor, the funny things of the likeness.
And when you want to pull her close to you, pick a certain day at a time, like her birthday or a time you guys had special to you, and think of the really funny stuff that went on between the two of you and the senses of humor and always the people that I always remember the sense of humor and of a person and I can stay connected to them.

Another thing, we're going through a lot within the family now.
I have two brothers that are totally destroying what family we have left.
They're going to feel the pain that they're creating.
And there's no escape.
What you look back in your life, because there's the laws, you know, like my lawyer, who's a really great lawyer, he has a sign on the back of his, behind his desk.
It says, justice is in heaven.
Down here, we just practice the law.
And that's the way it is.
But by keeping your heart pure and clean, and keeping the value of your mom, and know that they're going to have that life review, and they're going to feel every bit of it.
And let it go.
Find a new family, a new sense of family.
You know, call compassion in action if it's in your town or come join another family.
You know, hospice volunteers are some of the most wondrous people.
Oh, but he gave you a good piece of advice when you were going through your job change.
Well, when you were getting ready to go through a, you like with changing jobs and the insight that he gave you in that, I mean, showed, I mean, I can pick up things about that guy.
When a person leaves, usually in the dreamlike states, which are the states the Greek call the hypnogic, just before you go to sleep or just before you wake up.
They can come to you in this state, and they can spend time so that you know they're safe and they're peaceful.
Literally 66% of all spouses have some form of contact with their departed loved ones.
There was a great book written by Melvin Morris called Parting Visions that when you read it, you will hear people describing just what you're describing.
I have little doubt that that was him coming back to make sure you had certain comfort and because of the closeness with you and you would know it was peaceful.

Ask your wife if she's had anything similar to that.
Well, she has with her mother, but the thing is, Daniel, is that the led to the next thing was that he and I went down and we sat down in a room, an all-white room once again, and there were pews, very few.
It was a very small room.
I never saw anybody's faces, but they were all dressed in the same type of garment.
And there were these speakers on the wall.
There was some foreign tongue coming out of them.
I had no idea what it was.
It was like garble to me.
And my father-in-law was just looking down at me, and then he and I walked back out.
And I asked him, I said, well, you know, if this is heaven or a good place.
I said, I don't really understand what I'm seeing.
And he told me, he says, I'm really not sure if this is.
And then he mentioned to me that something along the lines of that, you know, you better straighten out some of these things in your life.
You know, he's already gone and seen the Panoramic Life Review.
A lot of people, you know, when Art was talking earlier about ghosts or discarnates, a lot of people don't really don't, not a lot, but some don't want to go to the light.
Some pick places where they go in refuge or they go to face themselves.
next time you get a computer you've got two reasons to go to my website one is here's a little girl yeah Yep, yep.
And the second is, Dan, there's a photograph I got two days ago that Ramona handed me that was sent in the mail.
And the photograph is of a car crash.
It was somebody, there were several people in the car, and the person who was driving tried to avoid hitting a deer in the road, and they demolished the car.
Dan, there's a picture of the car up there on the website.
It is totally, utterly, completely demolished.
You look at that car, and there's no way that anybody walked away alive from that car.
Truth of the matter is, Dan, everybody walked away without a scratch.
And then there's one more thing in the photograph, Dan.
He was in a state, and what you have to do is maybe not end up like him, but to help you do better.
When he said straighten out your life, it gave you a chance to go back and review your life.
Because wherever this place was, he was in an in-between state deciding about what to do with what he had seen about himself.
I know the place.
I mean, I know where that place is because it's where you forgive yourself and you really process all the stuff in you as a spiritual being, not as a human.
But in the two first near-death experiences, the lightning and the heart surgery, I could sense dimensions on the other side.
But in the third near-death experience where I had brain surgery, I was aware that we are four complete different, it takes four complete different bodies of consciousness, and that we operate, since our physical self and our mental self deals with preservation or gratification, and they're so supportive of each other, we forget the other levels.
But these are dimensions.
I was living in a, you could call it past, the present, but in other dimensions, other places as real as this physical world that we live in now.
And it wasn't, you know, I'm still exploring this because I'm not really sure.
I write about it and if it's true, but me trying to figure it out.
Well, you're going to hear that from Daniel Brinkley, or you can hear it from Michio Kaku, one of the nation's leading, bright theoretical physicists' minds.
They both say the same thing about the dimensions.
