David found himself in a dark void, missing the familiar sounds of life. A voice called out directly in his mind, asking, "Are you back already?" He saw a distant blue-white light and felt drawn to it. As he approached, he recognized a friend, appearing as a glowing sphere of light. David asked, "Are YOU GOD?"The friend laughed and replied, "No, I am not. They are the Shepherd, guiding and protecting." After their brief conversation, David returned to the void, now accompanied by a powerful, loving presence. This presence radiated immense power and love.Others appeared and reviewed David's life, focusing on his thoughts and emotions. The presence told David he must return to life to accomplish something, influence someone, and learn more. Before returning, the presence said, "Tell no one. It is not yet time."Forty-two years later, David felt the presence again. This time, it said, "Now is the time to tell your story."
