Summary
Can you imagine being dragged under a train and living to tell the story? In 2006, David Ditchfield had a freak accident in which he was dragged under a speeding train.
As the surgeons fought to save him, he had a profound near-death experience (NDE) and journeyed to what he believes was the Afterlife. When he woke up in hospital, he had acquired astonishing new abilities where he could produce fine art paintings and composing classical music. This is all the more astonishing as David had never received any training in classical music and never composed such music before his NDE. In fact, to this day, he cannot read or write a single note of musical notation. His debut symphony, The Divine Light, was inspired by his NDE and was premiered at a sell-out concert. Additionally, Dave has completed more than thirty paintings and a number of commissioned artworks. He lives, paints and composes in a converted riverside mill near Cambridge, UK.
After hearing near death experiences from many other guests, this is a fascinating exploration deeper into this topic.
We discuss… David’s life before and after his NDE What it’s really like to stare death in the face Channeling art and music - what does that look like? You can hear more of David’s story at the Second Annual Online Near-Death Experience Conference.
