Moody, Raymond An American physician and
author, born in Georgia in 1944, who documented
the near-death experience and is a proponent of
the concept of an afterlife, particularly as it pertains
to catastrophic trauma or illness. His best-selling
book, Life after Life,first focused public attention in
1975 on the near-death experience and what it is
telling the medical profession Dr. Moody recorded
and compared the experiences of 150 persons who
died, or almost died, and then recovered. His
research describes the results of decades of inquiry
into the near-death experience. He outlines nine
elements that generally occur during the near-
death experience:
A strange sound. A buzzing, or ringing noise,
while having a sense of being dead.
Peace and painlessness. While people are dying,
they may be in intense pain, but as soon as
they leave the body the pain vanishes and
they experience peace.
Out-of-body experience. The dying often have the
sensation of rising up and floating above their
own body while it is surrounded by a medical
team, and watching it down below, while
feeling comfortable. They experience the feel-
ing of being in a spiritual body that appears to
be a sort of living energy field.
The tunnel experience. The next experience is that
of being drawn into darkness through a tun-
nel, at an extremely high speed, until reach-
ing a realm of radiant golden-white light.
Also, although they sometimes report feeling
scared, they do not sense that they were on
the way to hell or that they fell into it.
Rising rapidly into the heavens. Instead of a tunnel,
some people report rising suddenly into the
heavens and seeing the Earth and the celestial
sphere as they would be seen by astronauts in
space.
People of light. Once on the other side of the tun-
nel, or after they have risen into the heavens,
the dying meet people who glow with an
inner light. Often they find that friends and
relatives who have already died are there to
greet them.
The being of light. After meeting the people of
light, the dying often meet a powerful spiri-
tual being whom some have called God,
Jesus, or some religious figure.
The life review. The being of light presents the
dying with a panoramic review of everything
they have ever done. That is, they relive
every act they have ever done to other people
and come away feeling that love is the most
important thing in life.
Reluctance to return. The being of light sometimes
tells the dying that they must return to life.
Other times, they are given a choice of stay-
ing or returning. In either case, they are
reluctant to return. The people who choose to
return do so only because of loved ones they
do not wish to leave behind.Moore, Thomas An American psychotherapist,
