David Ditchfield’s near-death experience (NDE) began after a train accident nearly took his life. What he experienced in the afterlife profoundly changed his understanding of death, consciousness, and the possibility of life after death.
During his near-death experience, he describes leaving this world and entering an extraordinary realm filled with light, overwhelming love, and beings whose presence was unlike anything he had experienced before.
After surviving the accident, something else remarkable happened. Despite having no previous training as an artist, David felt compelled to paint what he had seen during his NDE.
This newly remastered version of David Ditchfield’s near-death experience includes much more of his original artwork, allowing you to experience his journey through the images he created to represent what he saw and felt in the afterlife.
Some of David’s original artwork has been digitally altered, expanded, or animated for visual storytelling while preserving the character and intent of his work. Altered imagery is identified within the video.

That… doesn't really explain anything. Adversity can be good in little doses, yes, cos it makes you go within and make peace with yourself, but that is assuming you'll be able to recover your self-love and self-worth afterwards, and for that you need support, A LOT of it, especially if you've had an abusive family, and where exactly are you going to receive it in such a cruel world as ours? In nature if you're weak or sick – you just die, that's it, with humans it's the same but much slower, in the world of survival of the fittest what love are we talking about really? Not everyone gets to meet beings showering them with unconditional love, for some people it's just birth, then suffering, then more suffering, and then death, no support whatsoever, not from family, not from other people, not from higher beings, so where is purpose in that? So many young people around the world choose to end their own lives, what lesson did they get from this adversity, that for them life is not worth living? I don't think NDEers get to talk much about suffering, after all most of them chose to come back cos their lives must have been not so miserable after all, I would much rather hear the stories of people who chose not to return, but I can't for obvious reasons. And that's the saddest part, our questions are always met with the disregarding silence, Universe doesn't consider us worthy of a single comforting word, or of any word at all, let alone actual answers or help, yet we talk about how loving and caring it is. I don't know, I feel like caring means actually helping when you've got an opportunity to help, but no one comes here to save us, no matter how strongly we believe, nor can we save ourselves from the despair of living inside a body, so much for unconditional love.
Life is meant to be enjoyed
"In the moment, where your at isnt all that bad"…..I have heard people say that about freaking prison….. is that all I am worth? Is that the best I can hope for for my wife and kids?? "Its not that bad", "it could always be worse"……I am so tired of hearing that because essentially it very much feels like every time my life gets worse, everytime we cant get something for my kids or we cant even take a little vacation, no problem…. just lower your bar for whats "not that bad" and boom… whole new perspective….. I have lowered the bar and expect very little at this point, and most of what I do expect, ive been shown that its gonna be bad….. dont expect great or even good….I have struggled my whole life and I am so tired of everything being so damn hard….. is this what I am worth??? Because it doesnt feel like much at all.
I hope this is all true. I’ve been in a tremendous amount of physical pain for a very long time. I hope it’s not all for nothing.
God made us suffer for his amusement, and keep hearing about life is a school on earth well, we learn from bad people so there nothing to learn and God give the rich people a helping hand not the poor.

Gary Grimshaw, thanks for your comment re my comments. As you point out, in a book so much more can be divulged. Yes thanks for that. His book was so amazing. A credible and truly fascinating account . Gary, from Seaton, Devon, UK
I love your gifts of this self love and self worth! love it and of course it´s more than beautiful! Thanks for sharing
WOW! amazed not only by David’s testimony but by his paintings are so realistic and beautifully detailed.. it’s also amazing to learn about people receiving gifts from the other side and using them (!creativity/: artistic, or some type of clairvoyant ability) I love listening to these stories Thank you Alan for this remastered version as I know you have a lot on your plate at the moment.sending hugs to you and your family 💜💜✨
The ultimate purpose of suffering is to awaken us from our illusions and delusions.
I have gone through thousands of near-death experiences over the years. I'm fascinated by them.
I can't tell you how many experiences I've heard about that were extremely detailed and came off as real, where are the experiencer wakes up on a stone slab. Here's the strange thing, every single one of them with the exception of the one in this video, the experiencer is waking up in Hell…..
Take that for whatever it's worth.. I've actually seen this particular man's story on other channels and every time he mentions that he wakes up on a slab, it immediately makes my skin crawl a little bit. Very strange that it turns out positive like this.
What an amazing and very moving and powerful story. I found myself getting very emotional. David's art and music are so beautiful and divinely inspired. I can feel it. Thank you, Alan for presenting these incredible and soul-affirming stories.
Why are we sent back?
Oh, that's right ~ we have MORE lessons to learn. Right?
Hmmm.
I just subscribed. So many young travel couples are weird, because the guy does all the talking. You two shared! That should be normal, but it isn't, sadly.
Sara Rivers arche type quiz came up on my feed again. I ignored it the first two times but now it feels personal 😂 Fine, I’ll see what the hype is.
An NDE is not death. Death is something that the body has ceased ALL organic activity including the brain. The very idea of 'NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE' means that person wasn't completely Dead . If a person was capable of being necessitated that means the brain was not dead yet. It can survive for about 5 minutes after blood flow ceases. After that without fresh oxygen the brain starts dying.
awesome story and beautiful art!
There is alwqsy an "unconditiobna love" statement in every NDE..even though we have no idea what that would feel or actually entails.
the healing energy at my chest i describe as a tornado/hurricane
I died for 8 minutes in an mri machine but it was blank, I have no memory of those 8 minutes or about an hour to an hour and half after I was revived. Does that mean I do not have a soul? I've looked up theories on great resets and cabbage patch kids etc.. and im worried I could be a descendant of clones with no soul. Its said that the majority of the population have no souls and only a small minority do and this lines up with the 80-85% of people who experience nothingness when they die. Im a strong believer in yeshua but this frightens me
I've met the three in dreams.
The detail about him not having any art training before this, and then feeling compelled to paint what he saw, is what gets me every time with these stories. Something about the experience clearly needed a form beyond just words for him. Really moving watching this version with the artwork included.
