Product Description
In 1975, Dannion Brinkley was struck and killed by lightning. When he awoke in a morgue twenty-eight minutes later, everything was forever changed. During this near-death experience, Brinkley was sent to heaven through a tunnel of light. On the other side, he received valuable lessons and spiritual knowledge, which he brought back and incorporated into his daily life. For him, it was a profound spiritual transformation. During the next twenty years, Brinkley had not one, but two more near-death experiences. Each time he visited heaven, where more knowledge was revealed to him, he was sent back to earth to fulfill his heavenly duties. Now, in Secrets of the Light, he shares the lessons he learned in the afterlife so we, too, can fulfill our true purpose in life. Brinkley outlines the "Four-Fold Path to Power"—Love, Choice, Belief, and Prayer—that will empower you to follow your destiny. He then unveils the Seven Truths from the afterlife and how to use them to enhance health, happiness, and prosperity. We also learn how to perform a "daily life review"—a quick assessment of your daily life that acts as a reminder to give thanks, stay true to yourself, and treat others with kindness. With wit, humor, and compassion, Brinkley shows that by living the way heaven intends, and always being conscious of your actions and how they affect others, you will find happiness in this life and beyond.

Captivating! December 30, 2008
This is an "easy read", not heavy or cumbersome. Being easy doesn't mean 'light and frothy', however. It's interesting at the least, and often downright riveting. This book is laden with truth and gives one much to consider. I highly recommend it!

Dannion & Kathryn have outdone themselves this time. Very well written and easy to understand. These two also walk their talk... I'm proud to say I know both of them to be beautiful people who really care about others. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to understand what is in other realms.. Blessings !!

Injunctions from Heaven December 18, 2008
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
In this book, Dannion Brinkley and his wife Kathryn Brinkley, examine his three near death experience(NDEs) in perspective, comparing them with each other. As it happens, each of these NDEs had very specific messages to convey and equally specifc lessons to deliver. These injunctions and decrees that Dannion actually makes are, in effect, quite well known, almost trite. For instance, one is asked to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day, exercise at least five times a week, set aside time daily for meditation. One is reminded once again the power of love, the power of belief and the power of prayer. One is also provided with a number of potent affirmations. However, coming from Dannion's perspective, the very same cliches (that could bore us to tears if they came from somebody else), have a different clang, a different energy. It is as if one were receiving very common sense advice from a friendly and caring older brother, one who is honestly interested in our welfare. A better intermediary between the so called higher echelons of Heaven and the lower planes of human consciousness would be hard to find. For one quality that Dannion Brinkley is completely free of, is self glorification. His understanding of our faults and foibles is very strong and the main reason why his message is so powerful is because it is so totally non-judgemental.
One important topic that Dannion Brinkley specifically discusses is self pity and self martyrdom. He shows, in exceptionally clear terms, how incredibly toxic the 'victim' mindset can get. I could say more, but I do not want to risk a 'spoiler'.
Another important subject that is covered in this book is the life-review. For him, the pain associated with the first was excruciating, but the successive experiences of the same were more gratifying, the positive was overwhelmingly greater, and the negative, significantly weaker, by comparison.
Speaking for myself, this book gave me a sense of what it is to experience being pure consciousness and totally beyond the fear of death. This sentience is not so easily conveyed by many writers. For, consider the all too familiar dictates made by our modern wisdom keepers, (by these, I mean our doctors, lawyers, professors and other experts) who keep our individual and collective welfare in mind. We, the plebeians, have a natural tendency to delight in defying these dictates, and breaking the rules, just because we can assert our individuality that way. Getting these very rules from Dannion Brinkley's specific imprint of consciousness gives them a power all their own.
This book is well organized and a very fast read. I am a slow reader, but I read it in one and a half sittings.
Strongly recommended, especially in connection with the countdown to 2012.
Heaven on Earth December 15, 2008

Brinkley has come of age. This is surely his finest work. It combines his life details ['dying' 3 times] for new readers with practical, easy to read advice and pieces of prose which can only be described as inspirational.
Health-wise Dannion seems to be permanently on the edge of 'going home' to spirit, and whenever he decides to go [let us hope he stays here for many more years] he has already left an amazing legacy.
I have read many accounts of 'heaven/the 'other side.' This is not only the most believable, but a recipe for helping create heaven on earth.
A remarkable book from a remarkable man.
