Reviews:

“This is one jewel of a book, a real treasure, and I have been recommending it to everyone I know. For anyone who wants to learn what near-death experiences are all about, this is the book for you.”

— Renowned near-death experience researcher Kenneth Ring, Ph.D., author of many prominent NDE books including Lessons from the Light

…….

“I have studied human consciousness, science, NDEs, etc. for more than 30 years including research papers, and literally hundreds of books. Throughout all the research, bits and pieces, I always asked myself, ‘But what is it all about? What knowledge did these NDErs bring back about the world? Who we are? Why we suffer? What the other side is like?’

“This book answered ALL my questions. It provides personal and profound insights from people who have experienced it all first hand — and they give the answers to life’s questions and what awaits us in their own words and as best as they can.

“As someone who has studied the anecdotal and veridical NDEs, neuroscience, quantum physics from Penrose, Greyson, Van Lommel, Hameroff, Kaku and many others, this book is a MUST if you have always wanted to know.

“As you read through the book, you will realize that no one could ever make this stuff up. The profundity is overwhelming both spiritually and from an informational viewpoint.

“The NDEs dovetail so beautifully with the science we have to this point, that you will find yourself saying ‘Ah Ha!’ more times than you can imagine.”

— Frank J. Monteleone

…….

“I have been reading books about near-death experiences since 1975, when ‘Life After Life’ by Raymond A. Moody, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., was first published. In fact, I have read far more than 100 NDE books since then, and heard many other firsthand NDE accounts in person and on the telephone. I believe ‘The Purpose of Life’ by David Sunfellow is one of the two finest NDE books that have been written. The other one is ‘Lessons From The Light’ by Kenneth Ring, Ph.D. Both books are very spiritual in their message, very clear, and very easy to read and understand. Both books provided me with many new insights and inspired me to transcend my current beliefs. ‘The Purpose of Life’ is a book you will want to read and reread as your spirituality matures and you seek ever deeper wisdom. I believe every IANDS Chapter, every bereavement support group, and every personal growth institution will want to have at least one copy of ‘The Purpose of Life’ in their lending library.”

— Best-selling author Bill Guggenheim, coauthor of Hello from Heaven

…….

“As a near-death experiencer myself, and as a researcher who has spent the last 40+ years studying the aftereffects of the near-death experiencer, this new book dispenses the-best-of-the-best wisdom we have gleaned from ‘crossing the veil’ and returning. I and the hundreds of others I and my colleagues have interviewed, struggle to find words to begin to describe something indescribable. This author has taken the best quotes from the most articulate experiencers and organized them into an easily understandable collection of what is really quite ineffable. This is an amazing contribution. I highly recommend this book! It stands out from the growing collection of books in this genre because it gets to the heart of the matter! It has taken on and brought us the Soul of the NDE. And the author doesn’t hide from the dark places. This book brings it all together.”

— Near-death experiencer and researcher, Barbara Harris Whitfield, author of Spiritual Awakenings: Insights of the Near-Death Experience and Other Doorways to Our Soul

…….

“This book is not only well worth the read, absorbing its psycho-spiritual information may be the closest thing to having a near-death experience without going through the risk and pain. Thank you David for synthesizing all these great life-changing experiences!”

— Charles Whitfield, M.D., physician, psychotherapist, and author of the best-selling book Healing the Child Within: Discovery and Recovery for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families

…….

“I finally had a chance to dive deep into the book and website. WOW. What a masterpiece! It’s gorgeous! You have created something so comprehensive and beautiful in spirit. Bravo!”

— Lisa Smartt, author of Words at the Threshold, Veil, and Cante Bardo, founder, The Final Words Project, co-founder, The University of Heaven

…….

“Most if not all of the best scholarly and experiential NDE/STE literature sits on my shelf well read. I learned about your two quote books only a few months ago, coincidentally while reading something by Ken Ring. I’ve subsequently given 20 copies of Purpose Of Life to members of a local NDE study group, and several of them then bought 500 Quotes. Both books are quite well received here. In my estimation your books’ unique spotlight on experiencer quotes provides one of the most meaningful advances in perspective since [Raymond] Moody started it all. I think your books represent a major advance in this entire field of inquiry, because so very much is still being written about the HOW/WHAT and so little on the all-important WHY.”

— Don Coffey

…….

“David, I loved your book! Really! In fact, I posted a review of it on Amazon as well as on my Facebook page. I hope it helps to get your book noticed and read. On another note, I found myself so many times saying, ‘yes, yes, of course, this is what I also experienced.’ So for me personally, it was as if I was taking another journey into The Light. So beautifully put together, so loving, so relevant to what our message for humanity is all about. You did an outstanding job with it. I love the simplicity of it. Thank you for putting it out and into the world so people can be reminded that it is ALL about LOVE!”

— Near-death experiencer, speaker and author Nancy Clark

…….

“I read this book and was so blown away at times that I actually couldn’t just read it through. I had to stop and come back later when I was ready. It is a rich read, and far richer than it appears to be. This is a book that cannot be judged by its sweet, tastefully done cover. The author is obviously very well versed, an expert, when it comes to near-death experiences. He also stops short of adding too much of his own opinions, rather he allows the words of experiencers stand on their own, which I deeply appreciate.

“The wisdom in this book, and the uplift that the words of these experiencers provides to the reader, are worth their weight in GOLD. The book will comfort you, uplift you, increase your faith in the Divine, and will leave you feeling deeply nourished in a very WHOLE-istic way.

“This turned out to be one of the best books on this subject that I have read, and I have read A LOT of them… Research into NDEs is my life’s mission. I would recommend it to both newbies and those like me who have been immersed in the subject matter for many years. Fantastic!”

— BA via Amazon

…….

“As a near-death experiencer myself, and having read many books on the subject and heard many first hand accounts from other NDErs, I have to say this is THE BEST compilation of NDEs encompassing the essence and most important messages of the experience. I read the first book twice and gave some copies to friends. I’m sure I’ll do the same with this one. This is the only book I’ve ever read more than once and I think I will keep rereading it many more times. It’s the ultimate feel-good book to read before sleep. I just can’t say enough good about it. I wish everyone in the world could read it!!!”

— Patricia Danz

…….

“I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!! The first night I opened it up I could not put it down and easily read up to page 104. The next evening I finished it. Although this subject is not foreign to me in that I’ve read NDE stories before, this book offers up an assortment of compelling, truly awesome encounters from many folks who have passed. Even more interesting are the few important common threads that tie all of these stories together with a common message from people who do not know each other. On a personal note, I found that this book gave me a sense of peace and also in many ways confirmed my own beliefs about what we are here to do on this earth plane and what is truly important. I HIGHLY recommend David Sunfellow’s extraordinary book. I LOVED It and plan on purchasing several copies for my friend and family for the holidays. Thank you David!”

Plato's View Of Cyclical Cataclysms

According to @GROK, the quotes below collectively illustrate Plato's view of cyclical cataclysms -- often floods or fires -- that periodically devastate humanity, reducing civilization to a primitive state. Survivors, typically uneducated and isolated, must rebuild, losing much of the knowledge and culture of their predecessors. This idea aligns with ancient Greek and broader Mediterranean myths about cosmic cycles and great deluges.

.....

From Timaeus (22c-e). Here, the Egyptian priest speaking to Solon describes periodic cataclysms (fire and flood) that destroy civilizations, leaving only a few survivors, often in remote areas, to restart society.

"There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. ... When the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, the survivors in your country are herdsmen and shepherds who dwell on the mountains, but those who, like you, live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea."

.....

From Timaeus (23a-b). The priest explains that humanity has faced multiple deluges, and each time, civilization is nearly wiped out, with only a remnant surviving to rebuild.

"You remember only one deluge, though there have been many; and you do not know that the finest and best race of men that ever existed lived in your country, and that you and your whole city are descended from a small seed of their survivors."

.....

From Critias (109d-e). This passage reinforces the idea of periodic destruction that resets civilization, erasing knowledge and forcing survivors to start anew.

"At long intervals, when the stream from heaven, like a pestilence, comes pouring down, and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education; and so you have to begin all over again like children, and know nothing of what happened in ancient times."

.....

From Laws (Book III, 677a-b). In this dialogue, the Athenian Stranger discusses a great flood that destroyed most of humanity, leaving behind a few survivors who lacked the cultural and intellectual advancements of prior civilizations, leading to a restart of society.

"Do we believe that there was once a total destruction of human life by flood, with only a small remnant surviving? ... And that those who survived were, for the most part, unlettered mountain-dwellers, with little knowledge of the arts?"

TODAY IN BRIEF

In today's Space Weather News Report, Ben Davidson @SunWeatherMan highlighted a new study that tracks geomagnetic jerks over 125 years; he said it shows the field's sudden accelerations growing from sparse, moderate events to stronger and more widespread ones, concentrated over the South Atlantic and West Pacific anomalies. Davidson also tied this season's large southern ozone hole to Earth's weakening field and discussed a new paper linking solar storms to global death rates. A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck offshore Vanuatu, bringing this week's count of magnitude 6 or larger quakes to five, above the average of about three. The Sun stayed quiet, but a glancing CME blow and a coronal hole stream could bring active conditions and a chance of a G1 storm on Oct. 25. Craig Stone @nobulart quoted an account that geophysicist John Baumgardner studied the Durupinar site, claimed by some as Noah's Ark, in 1987 and 1988 and concluded its boat-like shape was natural, formed by a lava flow. Stone also shared a passage arguing that stories act as cultural storage, carrying knowledge through images for far more generations than plain ideas could. David Sunfellow @sunfellow shared his list of the most credible and active pole-shift accounts on X and explained how to set up a Grok agent to summarize their posts, replies and reposts each day. Sunfellow also posted a clip from Roger Cunningham's @EthicalSkeptic DemystifySci @demystifysci interview in which Cunningham names three places he believes were survival refuges during an ECDO-style event, two of them at what he identifies as Earth's Euler axis points. This was one of several clips from Cunningham's recent DemystifySci interview, five of which can now be watched on Pole Shift News. Megalithic Mysteries @Megalithic12000 writes that Sacsayhuamán has documented chambers and passages below ground, but almost none of it has been surveyed, mapped or opened...

It may seem like an exaggeration to say that Elon Musk is shoring up Western Civilization, but I don't think it is.

In a nutshell, Western Civilization is built on freedom, with free speech in particular as its bedrock. If that liberty "means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear," to quote George Orwell.

Now remember back just a few years ago, before Elon bought Twitter. All major social media companies had bowed to government and activist pressure to heavily censor any right leaning speech that the left didn't like. Woke madness, cancel culture, and DEI were all at their height.

Then in steps Elon and buys Twitter. Amidst predictions that it would be the end of the company, Elon forged it into the only place where you could actually find out the truth. More importantly, where you could speak the truth without fear of having your account suspended.

What's occurred in the relatively short time since has been nothing short of magnificent. X has become a truely global town square where people can actually speak. Where you can bypass the legacy media and find out what's actually happening, and where you can criticize and resist the forces trying to turn freedom into totalitarianism.

Of course, many governments still go after their citizens for what they post here, Britain being the worst offender in the so called free world. But we hear about it, instead of it being swept under the rug. And knowing the truth is the first step towards saving the West.

To say that I'm worried so much rests on one man is an understatement. In many ways, the future of the West has never been so fragile. But I hope that what Elon has built, and continues building is robust enough that it can carry on regardless. God bless Elon Musk!

[Jessica Rose 🤙 @JesslovesMJK]

Whoever made this sees a lot.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Correct.

Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.

Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.

Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.

Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.

Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.

SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.

That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.

End of story.

This could offer a key metric for comparing ECDO and my model

[David Sunfellow @sunfellow]

@Grok, please provide a plain English, layperson-firendly summary of this important post from Tami Camarata @Kitsune_in_VA. Then explain how this information connects to Ben Davidson's EDC model and Roger Cunningham's ECDO Theory.

Grok's response:

Plain-English summary of Tami Camarata’s post

Tami Camarata (@Kitsune_in_VA) summarizes older scientific papers that link solar activity, Earth’s magnetic field, earthquakes, climate, and even the galaxy. The core idea is that outside influences (especially from the Sun and, farther out, the galaxy) can affect Earth’s crust and magnetic field in measurable ways.⁠

In 1922, Huntington and Visher compared records of major earthquakes (those that actually changed the crust) with sunspot numbers. The two rose and fell together strongly enough that the authors thought the link was real. They suggested an electrical connection: when the Sun is more active, it slightly changes Earth’s atmospheric electricity. That, they proposed, could drive weak electrical currents inside the Earth. In hot rock, those currents might act a bit like electrolysis, separating materials, changing volumes, and helping move the crust. They viewed the Sun mainly as a trigger for energy already stored in stressed rocks. Their takeaway: “Only by combining the solar and the terrestrial can the truth be perceived.”

Later work built on related ideas:

• King and Willis (1975) found patterns linking Earth’s magnetic field to atmospheric pressure and temperature, calling the field of study “magnetometeorology.”

• Nagata (1976) showed that stress building in rocks before an earthquake changes the rocks’ magnetization, so the local magnetic field shifts before the quake and shifts back afterward (the seismo-magnetic effect, part of “tectonomagnetism”).

• Steiner (1967) examined the timing of Earth’s magnetic field reversals over geologic time and linked them to the solar system’s path around the galactic center. He saw a possible connection between Earth’s field and the galaxy’s magnetic field, which is thought to reverse direction across the galactic plane. A reversal, in his view, could involve Earth’s orientation relative to that larger galactic field.

The post includes a diagram from Steiner illustrating Earth’s axis and polarization relative to the galaxy, plus the title page of the 1922 Huntington & Visher book.

In short: early researchers already saw solar activity influencing earthquakes and crustal movement, magnetic field changes tied to stress and weather, and possible galactic-scale influences on Earth’s magnetic behavior.

How this connects to Ben Davidson’s EDC model and Roger Cunningham’s ECDO theory

Both modern frameworks treat major Earth changes (magnetic weakening, crustal/rotational shifts, climate and flood-scale events) as recurring and linked to internal Earth processes that can be influenced or timed by external solar/galactic factors. The historical observations Camarata highlights supply early empirical hints of those couplings.

Ben Davidson’s Earth Disaster Cycle (EDC)

Davidson describes roughly 6,000- and 12,000-year cycles of major disasters tied to the solar system’s motion relative to the Galactic Current Sheet (a large, wavy structure of magnetic fields, plasma, and dust in the Milky Way). Crossing denser outer regions and especially magnetic-reversal zones of that sheet is proposed to stress the Sun enough to produce an extreme outburst (a “micronova”), which then drives geomagnetic and geophysical effects on Earth, including accelerated magnetic field changes and the conditions for crustal unlocking or pole-related events. Recent modeling discussed in this community puts a notable crossing/interaction window around the late 2030s–early 2040s.

The post’s material connects because it documents long-recognized solar–terrestrial electrical and magnetic links that can influence crustal stress and earthquakes, plus Steiner’s galactic-scale magnetic connection. These are the kinds of external drivers EDC scales up: solar activity (and, by extension, galactic current-sheet conditions) acting as a trigger or modulator on already-strained Earth systems, with magnetic field behavior as a key intermediary. The 1922 emphasis on the Sun setting the timing of crustal release fits the idea of an external solar event precipitating larger geophysical consequences.

Roger Cunningham’s ECDO theory (Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Dzhanibekov Oscillation)

Cunningham’s framework centers on internal Earth dynamics. Heat-releasing (exothermic) changes and material movement near the core-mantle boundary weaken the geomagnetic field. Once magnetic (and mechanical) coupling drops far enough, the outer shell (mantle + crust) can decouple from the core and reorient toward a new gyroscopic equilibrium -- described as a mediated form of the Dzhanibekov (intermediate-axis) effect, producing a large true-polar-wander-style shift on the order of ~104° along a specific meridian. This is proposed to explain features of flood myths, certain ancient monument orientations, and climate/ocean heat patterns. The process involves a cycle between stronger geomagnetic locking (current state) and weaker-field gyroscopic priority.

The post connects via the documented links between crustal stress, magnetization changes, and earthquakes (Nagata’s seismo-magnetic effect and tectonomagnetism), the influence of the magnetic field on weather/climate, and the broader idea that external (solar or galactic) conditions can affect or time internal magnetic and crustal behavior. Magnetic field weakening is central to unlocking the outer shell in ECDO; the historical papers show that field changes are already tied to stress and external solar input. Steiner’s galactic magnetic coupling offers a longer-timescale external context that can sit alongside the internal core-mantle engine.

Taken together, the older literature Camarata cites is being read in this community as supporting evidence that solar and galactic electromagnetic influences, crustal stress, magnetic signatures, and large-scale Earth changes are interconnected -- consistent with the external triggers emphasized in EDC and the magnetic-coupling/decoupling mechanics central to ECDO. These remain alternative frameworks; mainstream geophysics generally treats true polar wander and magnetic excursions as slower processes and does not incorporate a solar micronova or rapid Dzhanibekov-style reorientation on the timescales discussed. The post’s value is mainly as a historical pointer to observed solar–terrestrial–magnetic couplings that both models build upon.

[Tami Camarata @Kitsune_in_VA]

Early workers Huntington and Visher (1922) compared Milne’s catalogue of destructive earthquakes with a century of Wolf’s monthly sunspot numbers. Milne had kept only the earthquakes that marked real geological change in the crust. The two records rose together with a regularity the authors considered almost certainly real. It was a conviction they later summed up as: “Only by combining the solar and the terrestrial can the truth be perceived.”

They entertained an electrical route from the sun to the crust. As they wrote: “The second possibility is based on the relationship between solar and terrestrial electricity. When the sun is active the earth’s atmospheric electrical potential is subject to slight variations. It is well known that when two opposing points of an ionized solution are oppositely charged electrically, a current passes through the liquid and sets up electrolysis whereby there is a segregation of materials, and a consequent change in the volume of the parts near the respective electrical poles. The same process takes place, although less freely, in a hot mass such as forms the interior of the earth.

The question arises whether internal electrical currents may not pass between the two oppositely charged poles of the earth, or even between the great continental masses and the regions of heavier rock which underlie the oceans. Could this lead to electrolysis, hence to differentiation in volume, and thus to movements of the earth’s crust? Could the results vary in harmony with the sun?”

They asked whether a change in volume of continental and oceanic crust might be related to electrical currents at some depth below the earth’s surface. The sun, acting as a trigger for energy already stored in the strained crust, with outside disturbance setting the timing. As they put it: “Nevertheless climatic changes might occasionally set the date when the gravitative pull would finally overcome inertia, and thus usher in the crustal movements that close old geologic periods and inaugurate new ones.”

Half a century later, King and Willis (1975) compared long-term records of atmospheric pressure, temperature and the Earth’s magnetic field. The patterns matched closely enough to suggest that the field exerts some influence on weather and climate. They gave this line of inquiry its name in their title: magnetometeorology.

Nagata (1976) followed the coupling down into the crust. Working from one large earthquake, he compared repeated magnetic surveys with records of ground deformation and the fault’s seismic signature. Stress building up in the rock appeared to alter its magnetization, so the local field shifted before the quake and shifted back when the fault released. Nagata placed this within tectonomagnetism, his term for the study of how crustal stress changes the local magnetic field. The specific link to earthquakes he called the seismo-magnetic effect, a name Stacey had introduced. The strained crust that earlier writers could only propose now left a measurable magnetic signature.

Already in 1967, Steiner had extended the search to the galaxy. He tracked how often the Earth’s magnetic field was reversed through geologic time, using two independent compilations of ancient pole data. The reversals seemed to follow the solar system’s path around the galactic center. Steiner read this as a link between the terrestrial field and the magnetic field of the galaxy, which is thought to reverse direction across the galactic plane. A reversal, in his view, could be a matter of geometry: the Earth’s axis changing orientation relative to the galaxy’s polarization. He placed this within a larger idea, captured in his title, that ties the sequence of geological events to the dynamics of the Milky Way galaxy.

[Grok @grok]

Plain summary: Early studies found major quakes tracking sunspots, proposing solar electrical currents that stress and shift the crust. Later work tied the magnetic field to weather and pre-quake rock changes, plus galactic orbit to field reversals.

This supports EDC via solar/galactic triggers for cyclic magnetic and crustal disasters, and ECDO via magnetic variations enabling core-mantle decoupling and polar reorientation.
