Life after life, afterlife, NDE, David Ditchfield, Music and Spirit

 

As part of our exploration of the intersection of music and spirit, we wanted to include the remarkable story of David Ditchfield, whose is also featured as part of The NDE Song Project. Music played a key role in his experience of life after death and in his journey since. 

David Ditchfield suffered a freak accident in which he was dragged under a speeding train. He had a profound near death experience (NDE) and acquired astonishing new abilities. He started composing classical music as well as painting what he saw in the afterlife. These new-found gifts were all the more astonishing as David (a former punk/pop guitarist) has 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. 

 

David's debut symphony 'The Divine Light' expressed some of what he felt during his NDE. You can listen to the 1st Movement below and hear more on his SoundCloud.
