Book Reviews of The Secrets of the Light: Spiritual Strategies to Empower Your Life... Here and in the Hereafter

Book Review: Glimmers from a Different Reality
Summary: 5 Stars

Dannion Brinkley has had several encounters with 'the other side' through his near-death experiences. The wealth of information gained from these experiences is what he shares in his books.

In 'Saved by the Light', the intensity of the experience is what percolated through to me; the fact that an ordinary person, with no particular claim to spirituality, could have such a totally transforming, other worldly experience, after being struck by lightning. The visions that he had, extraordinarily enough, seemed secondary, maybe the authors intended it to look that way. In the sequel, 'At Peace in the Light', Dannion Brinkley describes his attempt to ground the experience. This is done by his attempts to establish the centers that he envisioned, and, more explicitly, his hospice work, where, he guided people in their transition from this life to 'the other side'. In 'Secrets of the Light', Dannion's latest and most esoteric book, he makes an attempt to display the perspective and wisdom gained from three decades of working with 'the Light'.

The above is what gives this book an other worldly dimension, making it seem anchored in a different reality, that sees our earthly struggles from a different viewpoint than the win-lose game that we play. This is done very skilfully by Dannion, whose efforts have been expertly supplemented by his wife and co-author, journalist Kathryn Peters. There is not an iota of a holier-than- thou attitude in the book, not the slightest glimmer of self righteousness. It strongly negates subtle notions and impressions that most of us conjure up and live with, 'spiritual people do not fall ill', 'when one has had access to what is happening behind the scenes, one is protected from misfortune' , and so on. This book bears ample testimony to the fact that the above concepts do not apply, at least to Dannion Brinkley, who despite his more than extraordinary experiences makes no light of his earthly struggles with pain and illness. Somewhere, in the book, he even mentions our spiritual arrogance when we decided to incarnate at this time in this world, knowing fully well of the obstacles we would face.

Nevertheless, the material is not at all heavy reading. It is replete with humor and jokes directed at the author, and despite the suffering and self searching, is adequately interspersed with a sense of the love and acceptance that Life is known to bequeath us all. Reading this book renewed for me the sense of belonging that our daily grind and 'promises to keep' keep taking away.

The last chapter of this book is a vision of what the immediate future holds for us, earthlings. This is the sensational part of the book and though it tests one's credulity, the drama is underplayed, by the short coverage it receives. The major statement of this book, as I see it, seems to be 'Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof'.

A book to treasure, to read and to reread
