Dannion Brinkley (born July 20, 1950) is an American author who described two near death experiences (NDEs) in his 1994 book ''Saved by the Light''.〔Dannion Brinkley and Paul Perry, ''Saved by the Light'', New York: Villard Books, 1994. ISBN 0-679-43176-4.〕 He is also a hospice volunteer, speaker, and prominent figure in the New Age and New Thought Movement. ==First near death experience== In ''Saved by the Light'' Brinkley explained that he was struck by lightning on September 17, 1975, while using a telephone at his home in Aiken, South Carolina. He said he was clinically dead for 28 minutes. During these 28 minutes Brinkley said he experienced many characteristic details of a near death experience as well as certain unique ones. His account includes an out-of-body experience with extensive observations of physical surroundings, passing through a tunnel, a high-speed and detailed life review and an encounter with beings who showed him visions of the future and discussed with him his life mission. Brinkley said he had a strong reluctance to return to his physical body, but he was sent back to fulfill a mission.〔 Brinkley said when he re-entered his body in the hospital he blew on the sheet that was covering his head. His friend noticed the moving sheet and said, "he's still alive!" By the end of September 1975 he was released from the hospital.〔 Shortly after the event occurred Brinkley told his story to near-death researcher Raymond Moody.〔Raymond Moody, ''The Last Laugh: A new philosophy of near-death experiences, apparitions, and the paranormal'', pp. 171–172. Hampton Roads Publishing Company, 1999. ISBN 1-57174-106-2.〕 In the ''Introduction'' to ''Saved by the Light,'' Moody wrote Brinkley's near death experience stands as one of the most incredible he has ever heard.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dannion Brinkley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
