Brinkley details his prophetic visions, from Chernobyl to Desert Storm, all documented on tape with Dr. Raymond Moody two decades earlier. He warns that 1994 through 1996 represent the most critical years for humanity and discusses a coming paradigm shift before 2012. The conversation also touches on his 17 years of hospice work, his passionate opposition to euthanasia, and his belief that the greatest spiritual growth comes from being present with those who are dying.
The episode also features Linda Moulton Howe interviewing Jesse Marcel Jr. about alleged Roswell debris, and Brinkley drops a bombshell claiming that astronaut Gordon Cooper will soon publicly confirm government UFO cover-ups on the television program Paranormal Borderline.
Key Moments
Brinkley back from Machu Picchu - the lightning shaman thread: Brinkley, just back from Peru, explains why Machu Picchu pulled him: Inca tradition holds that men struck by lightning become shamans, and the man who built Machu Picchu was a lightning-strike survivor - an echo of Brinkley's own near-death origin.
1975 lightning strike - 28 minutes dead: Brinkley walks through the night the lightning hit: floating up, watching himself on the bed, his wife on the phone - then 28 minutes with no pulse, no respiration, no EKG. Six days totally paralyzed, seven months partial, two years to walk again.
The panoramic life review: Brinkley describes the panoramic life review as the source of his certainty about life after death: after being greeted on the other side, every childlike emotion returns, opinions form around them, and the entire life plays back at once.
