Shine On by David Ditchfield

First of all, the story you will read in this book Shine on by  David Ditchfield

is absolutely true. 

It's the account of what experienced David Ditchfield when, once, was catched by the wheels of a speeding train rinking to die.

David spent a lot of time in a limbo pretty known by everyone as near-death experience, NDE, if you prefer the words abbreviated, and once he returned to life, and left that world, everything lived, seen and felt was so vivid, real; also for this reason wrote this book. 

But...Which was the first emotion once the horror was over and he was very sick? "....A beautiful blue sky. And I felt the air. Cold air on my face. And the warmth of the sunlight. And I thought to myself, what a beautiful blue sky."

The trip for returning to the normality was long because David had badly injured his left arm as well.

When he entered in the condition of near-death experience, David will tell "....This new world and this light feel so wondrous and fantastic and alive." 

David continues adding that in this light there was a Being, but it was a compassionate Being: "I feel safe, because I feel total trust in the love and compassion of this Being. There is no feeling of fear, no questioning, only acceptance. I feel loved to the very core of my soul."

Then there is another Being. Their bodies, the bodies of the Beings, if it's possible to use this expression, resemble the ones of the Native Americans but it was impossible to classify them in a scheme adopted in the world left behind. They were something else. Maybe David imagined them in a familiar shape to him so that they could be familiars. The Beings knew that this one was to him a new condition and they had to give nourishment to his soul. 

They tell him in the language of love: "Relax, you are safe, everything is well. You are loved."

Family, to him, starts to becoming like an old, distant memory; there is not anymore the urgency of speaking to them, or just reassuring them that he is safe; he is happy, surrounded by an extraordinary light and pure peace: maybe he doesn't feel the desire to return in his precedent world. 

He would want to try to see if his family can be spotted but what he sees is the entire universe. I have always thought that being composed by stardursts we are part of the Universe, or better, we are the universe; the birth of a star and the process of dying is too similar to the one of a human being. This reading is reassuring me a lot. My theories are corrects.

Irene, Dr.Wallis when David more OK, started to ask him questions about the moment of more profound stress experienced just few days earlier.

David was a drunker before this trauma and at the end will tell to Irene the experience he lived when very sick. Maybe you will know that doctors think that these episodes are chemical interactions of the body in extreme conditions.

When speaking with a therapist, David laments that no one would believe this story, if told.

But why did it happen? David's therapist is sure of it: "Your challenge in life is to bring back some of that unconditional love into your life now and show other people, who are struggling with similar issues, that it is possible to do so."

More, the therapist added the example of the most beloved President of the USA, Abraham Lincoln; his pasts, his failures, his poor education because too poor, his terrible losses, his depression didn't avoid him of becoming the President of the USA. 

David decides of asking for other advice and someone will tell him that: "We have the choice to follow our heart...should I eat this food, have this drink? Is this the right person for me to be with, given the life experiences I need to go through? I believe it’s our responsibility, our free will, our choice, to create a life that supports us on the journey, giving us experiences that make us feel more and more connected to who we really are."

David will start to painting. A fascinating trip, and the union of spirit and body for healing. A trip that means to him a lot of satisfaction. David will also join other activities and at the end he will also rediscover love. This book is for everyone. You can read it for curiosity or like a believer; it's not, after all, important. The important is the message of love spread by David and that I am more than sure will reach you completely being a very communicative and unique person.

The book can be read pretty quickly; there are many dialogues and it is not put in a heavy tone.

Highly recommended.
