...a motivational look into a near-death experience.

David Oakford bravely welcomes each person into the emotional, spiritual and physical hardships of his personal life. Like a painting, he creates a visual image through emotional expression while allowing individuals to relate to his deep and moving experiences. "Journey through the World of Spirit" is a heart felt story of spiritual movement that tells the tale of life, death and rebirth. It shows us, in a positive and real way, the effects of our actions as well as a grander purpose for all that we chose while on Gaia. His words are no less than pure poetry. His goal to share his story not only supersedes his lessons of wisdom, but also inspires us, in such a way, to change the negative patterns in our life.

"Religion is rules, Spirituality is Service"

There are many books out there today that talk about how we can help save the world, as well as ourselves as a species. There are dozens of ideas on what we can do and while a great deal of them are valid, some of them really come across as quite insightful and straightforward. While you would expect to find some really good ideas in spiritually based books, it's surprising to come across a really great idea in a book as short as, "Journey Through The World of Spirit: God, Gaia, and Guardian Angels", written by near death experiencer David Oakford. I have had the privelage of talking with Mr. Oakford and even getting help from him regarding some tough areas in my life, and although I have have read a shortened version of his NDE on line, this is the first time I was able to read it in it's entirety. I've been reading hundreds of NDE accounts through the years and Mr. Oakford's experience is one of the most fascinating, especially with regards to the earth. There are few accounts that deal so specifically with the earth and negative spirits, and his account is one that does so in great detail. In his otherworldly journey that he undertook, Mr. Oakford met guardian angels and spirit guides (including his own, named "Bob"), learned about the earth and how it has a spirit, about the universe, the spiritual world, dark spirits, Jesus, and God. Eventually, after going through a life review and seeing how he can benefit others on earth with his insights and experience, Mr. Oakfords returns to life. Sometimes the best books are the ones that have the smallest amount of fluff and filler, and are the ones that get right to the point in the message they are trying to say. "Journey: Through the world of Spirit, God, Gaia, and Guardian Angels" is such a book, and while it may be short, do not underestimate it's usefulness or the wealth of information that it contains, such as, for example, explaining about energy. It's fascinating to read about how, when he was journeying across the earth, Mr. Oakford saw that each area of the earth has energy coming from it. Areas that are rich in animals and nature are very high in energy, while cities and areas with very little of the natural world had very low energy, and how countries such as Africa, Asia, and Tibet have a higher (or "nicer" quality as he describes it) energy concentration due to not have a self-centered consumer like society. It is quite fascinating to read about how energy is so important in our world, both the physical and the spiritual. Another topic that fascinated me in the book is was what Mr. Oakfords describes as, 'dark souls'. To sum it up, these are spirits who are very selifsh and think only of themselves, living as spiritual vampires, sucking energy from the living. Certianly disturbing, but advice is given on how to avoid them, mainly by focusing on the love within us, seek to evolve ourselves in spirit, and choose not to follow this dark energy, and to seek what the in

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."

There is nothing presented in this account that I did not find plausible. In fact, it read as a validation of my own experiences over the years since my own NDE. The fact that we both came from similar down-to-earth working class Mid-Western backgrounds made it doubly accessible to me. As the author states there are great changes coming and extra-ordinary spirits are being reborn to try to swing the societal and planetary balance back towards health. These are the new Shamans entrusted with a mission to help heal the growing rift between Heaven and Earth. The author's NDE came prematurely, while he was still in his teens, as an unexpected side-effect to drug use. He wasn't ready for it. He knew the message to be true but he simply could do nothing with it until he had naturally lived out the first half of his life (reminds me of Jung refusing to train anyone who had not completed the first half of their life.) For a slim book it is packed with information. Thirty years of reflection has enabled the author to craft an efficient narrative that gets the message across without wasted words. The subjects touched on are many: out of body experiences, helping spirits, reincarnation, vibrational energy levels, light and dark beings, the spirit city, the need to transcend the ego, the body as only a vehicle, our role as transformers for natural/supernatural energies, higher vibration beings, Earth's role as a place to grow through hard choices and suffering, etc. As I said, there is nothing here that rings false, though personal interpretations may differ somewhat. The appendix by famed Near-Death researcher Dr. P.M.H. Atwater is detailed and excellent. It makes this a good choice for an introduction to the subject. She cites the most valuable classic authors and cases for further study. Plus I can attest to the value of the bibliography having read most of these books over the years. The additional appendix which includes an introduction to John Jay Harper's TRANCEFORMERS: SHAMANS OF THE 21st CENTURY not only supports the main world view of the book, but makes one anxious to also read further. The author states that he was drawn to metaphysical bookstores to read accounts that reinforced and validated what he had been shown. Well, this book now enters that worthy body of information. Perhaps that is the main function of such accounts- they serve as support and validation to those who have lost their innocence concerning the nature of existence. These are the people who have been given proof- the people who KNOW. Why would this gift be given to such ordinary people? Just look at the mess of the world that the rich, the powerful, the "experts" have created- who else are you going to trust it to?

EXCELLENT Book! Amazing Adventure!

I don't read alot, reading generally puts me to sleep no matter how much I love the content. When I ordered this book I promised myself that when it arrived, whatever work I needed to do, would finally just have to wait. I felt I had alot of questions that this book just may answer. The book arrived, I finished all that I could on my job, did a few dishes, made sure the family had dinner, then I took Journey Through The World of Spirit: God, Gaia, and Guardian Angels and ran away into a little corner of my sofa and read and read. I had no idea that I was about to set off on an adventure that was going to be one of the most amazing I'd ever experienced! The author seems to be completely open and honest about how his "NDE" ( Near death experience) came about, laying it all on the the table, take it or leave it. As well, he seems completely unpretentious but sincere and loving and I truly believe that this contribution to the Universe and those in search of answers as to possibilities of the afterlife will find many answers here! When I completed this book, in one night... I felt as if I were free and that love and compassion for ALL LIVING THINGS would be a path I would now NEED to follow. As well, I believe I will again have an opportunity to meet with those who I love and have moved on. Not to mention all of the new souls I may have an opportunity to travel with at some point! I also learned that I've been a contributor to the decline, in this country, in so many ways. I've begun to make some really big changes in my home and with my friends and family as a result of the knowledge I've acquired in reading this book. To the author: I appreciate your honesty, and the fact that you were finally willing to bring this amazing experience to the forefront to share with the world. I'm so glad you moved beyond your concerns regarding what anyone would "think" about your experience. If people really want to "think" anything at all, they should get a copy of this book and read it entirely. I know I'll be buying copies for my family and friends for the holidays. That and some nice teas would be one of the best gifts I could give! Everyone... including world leaders, should read this book, we all have so much to learn and the one thing I can say for me, is this book has not only removed my worries for what will happen when I leave this life... It's also left me feeling unbound and able to implement much of this author's knowledge into THIS life. Living and loving in the present is really all I need to do now. Buy the book and enjoy!

***** The Editor-in-Chief Speaks From The Heart *****

Normally, as a matter of corporate ethics, I remain silent on manuscripts that I have edited; but I simply have to make an exception to this one. It has captured me hook, line, and soul. Not only has the testimony of this book moved me to tears of joy at its message of miracles and vision of the future, but it has given me hope for humanity unlike any other. Ignore what I say if you feel that I am insincere in this promotion but please do not penalize David. This book is h-o-t: it will be turned into a movie script beyond a doubt now regardless of anything I say -- or not.
