When lightning struck Dannion Brinkley in 1975, it didn’t just nearly kill him – it gave him a glimpse of what lies beyond. The electrical surge that should have ended his life instead launched him on an unbelievable journey that lasted 28 minutes – the time doctors pronounced him clinically dead.

Brinkley recalls the moment vividly: watching from above as paramedics worked on his lifeless body, then traveling through a tunnel of light to encounter celestial beings. “They showed me my entire life,” he shares, “but not how I remembered it. I saw how my actions affected everyone around me.”
What makes Brinkley’s story unique isn’t just the dramatic lightning strike (with odds of 1 in a million), but that he’s had two additional near-death experiences since. Each time, he says, reinforced the same profound truth – that our souls continue on after physical death.
