1) Paperback Book Soul Bared: A Metaphysical Journey by PublishAmerica. Something about the book makes you think, yes that´s what I kinda think it might have been or might be like. Many of the items add up with small deviations from what is said in the Bible.¤

2) Paperback Book Soul Bared: A Metaphysical Journey by PublishAmerica. This booklet is a concise recounting of a spiritual journey Mr. Oakford had. For me, it was an affirmation of information of which I was already aware. But it also explained about metaphysical events and spiritual beings of which I was unaware or only vaguely aware. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is in the early stages of their own search for understanding of metaphysics and the spiritual realm.¤

3) Paperback Book Soul Bared: A Metaphysical Journey by PublishAmerica. I love to read about near death experiences. I liked the details he added and sure wish he was able to remember everything in detail but I understood by the end why he could not...a dear friend lost her grandchild and I offered her the book- it really helped her find peace. I hope David is fulfilling his destiny these days!¤

4) Paperback Book Soul Bared: A Metaphysical Journey by PublishAmerica. That David L. Oakford´s book is touching and a page-turner is undeniable: no matter the reader´s religious or spiritual beliefs this story has power and the ability to ignite the imagination. The honesty of approach of Oakford in putting into book form the experience he had after an accidental overdose of PCP in 1979 manages to pull the reader into the journey of metaphysical discovery: it is difficult to read the book with a critical eye, but if the author expects to write more, then there are some technical issues that he must face.

Oakford is not a trained writer and the fact that he so capably translated the untranslatable experience he had is a major accomplishment. Out of a life of self-destructive and mean spirited behavior Oakford takes a dose of PCP. Soaring out of his earthbound (Gaia) body and encountering ´an extremely beautiful Spirit Being´ whom he names ´Bob´ (!), Oakford soars through the universe with his guardian angel, observing the pyramids of Egypt, the planets, the Southwest US, and the planet earth/Gaia, learning about the positive and negative energy and aura of the various portions of the planet, the concept of immortality, the choices the soul makes, and the possibilities of making the world different through the true power of love and understanding. He then returns to earth and proceeds into a life changed.

The possibilities of Oakford´s lessons from his experience are endless and combine the finest assets of all the spiritual philosophies of the world...and more. The problem with his narration is the lack of an editor´s eye and hand to erase the typos and correct syntax and sentence structure - factors that could elevate this book into a viable format for a wider market.

But these are quibbles and the fact that Oakford would translate his near death experience into a readable form is a worthy reason to join him in sharing this mission. And in the long run his honesty as a first time writer speaks loudly, providing food for thought and contemplation in a world so desperately in need of finding solace in the chaos we have created.

5) Paperback Book Soul Bared: A Metaphysical Journey by PublishAmerica. SOUL BARED tells the heart-wrenching tale of one man´s near death experience in 1979. Author David Oakford set his pride aside to describe every aspect of his experience, including the not-so-flattering descriptions of how he came so close to death through a drug overdose. As each gland and organ in his body shut down, one by one, he could hear and see how it´s song and rhythm stilled to silence... until all that remained was an eerie silence. Oakford´s attention next turned to his immediate surroundings, and how he was confused to find that although he could move about, running was difficult... and although he could see and hear things, he could not see his reflection in a mirror and nobody seemed to hear him even when he shrieked and cried.

SOUL BARED really takes off when Oakford meets his guardian angel, who he calls Bob. Bob helped to explain the meaning of the colored auras that Oakford saw around everyone and everything, describing how each person´s aura is useful in viewing to see how much and what kind of work needs to be done for that person´s best development. The more brilliant the color, the higher the vibration. Bob went on to describe elemental energy beings, dark souls, the spirit of Gaia and beings of higher vibration, as Oakford looked around at the world through new eyes. The chapters in which Oakford describes meeting a group of angelic spirits are extraordinary for their clarity, as Oakford describes the choice he was given before returning to his body and resuming his life.

I am deeply moved by SOUL BARED, as it inspires me to live up my true spiritual nature and original purpose on Gaia at this time. Readers who have had near death experiences will especially love this book, as it´s the next best thing to feeling all the agony and ecstasy of a near death experience. I give this book my highest recommendation.¤

6) Paperback Book Soul Bared: A Metaphysical Journey by PublishAmerica. “David Oakford’s experience on The Other Side of death’s curtain is real, valid, and profound. Although drugs were the initial trigger for what he went through, and clearly the evidence for drug effects color the first part of his episode and the beginnings of the second part, what happened next was a full-blown ascended state that had a significant impact on him. Near death experiences are not magic, nor do they produce saints. And we can thank David for revealing this, for baring his soul. From the struggles and depression that followed, there emerged a truly changed man who knew, positively knew, that there is more to life than we are taught, and more to God’s Greater Plan for us than we might imagine.”¤
