Additionally, Brinkley was treated to some interesting previews from the Boxes of Knowledge pertaining to the world at large. One of the previews vividly depicted humanity's subjugation by a powerful feeling, fear. During the life-review phase of the NDE, Brinkley felt the feelings of those others who had been his victims. Additionally, he felt the feelings of every individual subsequently affected by his aggressive act toward the victim. More than he could tell.
Several incidents come to mind, here's just one.
In Vietnam, with an associate, Brinkley had been assigned to kill a respected North Vietnamese colonel. Eventually they see him, several hundred yards away standing before his troops. Brinkley shoots him, sees his head burst open and is satisfied, his mission accomplished. This experience was repeated for each of his many kills, and vanquished opponents. Truly, Brinkley had been an instrument of emotional and physical pain for nearly everyone in his life until, through that NDE, his attention and energies were re-directed.
