New Book Explores Near-Death Experiences and Hawaiian Spirituality

David J. Wallace’s new book The Journey of Our Souls: What You Can Learn from One Man’s Multiple Near-Death Experiences is the kind of book that blows your mind and makes you reconnect with your own spirituality in new and exciting ways. amazing.

Wallace is a native Hawaiian who shares in these pages the story of his life growing up in Hawaii and how Hawaiian culture and religious beliefs influenced his journey to become a “kahu,” a spiritual leader and healer, among his people. Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, he was often taught to repress his natural gifts and the ancient spiritual beliefs of his people. However, raised Mormon, he also grew up in a culture where people sometimes didn’t always see much of a difference or conflict between what Mormonism taught and the beliefs of his Hawaiian ancestors.

Wallace’s journey got off to a rocky start when, as a five-year-old, he fell out of the backseat of a moving car and had a near-death experience. He was taken by an ancestor to a waiting place to determine if he would go to the afterlife or return to earth. Fortunately, he returned to this life, though he would end up having three other near-death experiences, all of which he details in this book.

Beyond telling his personal story, Wallace uses Journey of Our Souls to explore what it means to be an immortal soul trapped in a human body. He compares it to being “a world champion race car driver with a second-hand puncher on worn tires to compete in the Indianapolis 500,” which he says is “a disaster waiting to happen” because “This gap between the spiritual potential and physical reality can create a lifetime of challenges as soul, mind and body try to coexist peacefully.” Throughout the book, Wallace details how he has handled that challenge and how we can do the same. Ultimately, he says that our soul is our moral compass and his journeys equip us with the tools and experiences we need to achieve balance and fulfillment. We need to live out our higher soul purpose to achieve that balance and satisfaction.

Wallace learned to live out his soul purpose in many ways, most importantly by realizing the gifts he has. Among the gifts he has accepted and developed are the ability to predict the future through prophetic dreams, the ability to see things that are hidden (he started by guessing what was inside his wrapped Christmas presents as a child and worked his way to bigger things) and remote viewing: the ability to see things hundreds of miles away.

One aspect of this book that I particularly enjoyed was reading about Wallace’s Hawaiian culture and how it informs his beliefs. I find his belief in Hawaiian spirits and magic surprising and yet deeply interesting. Wallace especially believes in the importance of connecting with ancestors. He feels that his ancestors are interested in him and ready to help him when he needs them. He talks about how to develop relationships with them and gain their trust to help you.

Wallace also wants to help other people. Today, he uses his gifts to help people in various ways. He has helped patients confirm whether or not they have cancer. He has helped people make peace with disturbing and possessive spirits that live in their homes. And he has helped his community by facilitating Hawaiian cultural and educational experiences to keep Hawaiian beliefs alive for future generations.

I don’t want to give away all the great stories in this book, but reading about how Wallace predicted the death of a co-worker and how he helped heal a student so he could play football for the next game was entertaining but also informative. . Throughout, Wallace discovers that by being in touch with his gifts and being open to the Universe, surprising but significant experiences and synchronicities can occur.

Wallace has also had success playing the lottery. Although he has not won the million dollar jackpot, he has developed a system that helps him match various numbers when he buys lottery tickets, as well as succeed in various games at casinos. He shares some of his methods and advice in this book, and is available for private consultation for those who want to learn more.

While not everyone may believe everything in these pages, Wallace comes across as an honest and humble man. At the end of the book, he talks about the importance of being a leader and how he has often reluctantly assumed that role. At first, he was unwilling to develop or share his gifts because he feared being an outcast, but in the end, he realized that God (or gods) had given him talents that he was to use to make the world A better place. He has helped many people and now hopes to expand his ability to help others through the advice and information he offers in this book. I guarantee you will see life in a new way after experiencing The Journey of Our Souls.
