In the late 90s, Dannion Brinkley's book "Saved by the Light" had a profound impact on my journey. Despite using drugs for out-of-body experiences, my visions often left me traumatized and unable to speak. Brinkley's books provided solace in a time of negative spirals.
In "Saved by the Light," Brinkley had 13 visions. In a recent interview, he spoke about how we are currently living in the 13th vision. The previous 12, which began in the 90s, predicted the introduction of a virus that would affect the world. It is remarkable how his predictions have come true, and how we are now living in a time of complete self-responsibility, where everything we do has an impact on the world.
Brinkley's ultimate message is that death is an illusion, and that our purpose is to co-create in this world. His work was so influential to me that I joined his Light Brigade in the early 2000s, a hospice care education initiative. Although I never used it in hospitals or hospice, I gained the skills to sit with my grandparents before they passed away and offer them comfort and understanding. I realized that the purpose was not to do anything for people passing, but to be there in witness and listen to their life story, giving them the chance to forgive and let go of difficult memories.
I've come to realize that both our life and death processes have been co-opted by the medical system, where drugs, procedures, and stressful noise are the protocol to make money at every step of the way. While I know that nurses, health practitioners, and doctors fundamentally care about the people they serve, we are under a collective spell that keeps us from seeing the reality of the situation.
In my upcoming book, "Qi Ken Do: The Way of the Funky Chicken," the main character forms a bond and friendship with an influential wealthy person who plays a major part in the worldwide pandemic. He struggles to reconcile having a relationship with someone whose surface seems one-way, but whose core is another. I often think about the law of attraction or the science of getting rich and how anyone can become rich regardless of their circumstances.
In society, we see people possessing attractive or detractive qualities that create the life they believe they are worth living. Living near Beverly Hills, I often wondered if they were all in on some big secret that I didn't know about. Dannion Brinkley's book recently showed up in my life when my wife brought home a copy she found at the local Whole Foods/Amazon return center. It was a great confirmation to see Brinkley alive and well, speaking his truth about the current state of medical tyranny and sharing his message that we all have a purpose here and need not fear death because it is only a doorway.
