Life’s greatest mystery is what happens to us when we die, and Dr. Moody is the world’s leading expert in Near-Death Experience. He even invented the term and he’s done research on over 3000 people who have been to the brink of death and returned.
Dr. Moody will review a broad range of extraordinary phenomena related to death and dying, near-death experiences, empathic death experiences, and apparitions of the deceased. He will use poetry, detailed explanations, and written and experiential exercises that open new channels of rational thought. These experiences will lead to an exploration of the biggest question of all—Is There Life After Death?
He’s spent much of his life studying paranormal experiences and his work has brought respect to this often maligned field, which is often overshadowed by scientific skepticism, fundamentalism, and parapsychology. More recently, he’s been experimenting with the controversial issue of evoking the deceased.
Raymond has a lifelong interest in the effects of laughter and humor on illness and the profound significance of nonsense. Can nonsense expand the mind? How can you tell the good nonsense from the bad? How can you defend yourself when someone calls your cherished beliefs nonsense? Nonsense is a lot of fun, and so is Raymond. Part of each session will be spent on nonsense, which is a source of pleasure, of new truth, and is fundamental to both Western and Eastern thought.
Raymond Moody is one of the most unusual people on our beloved planet. After a long career as a philosophy professor teaching symbolic and mathematical logic, he earned a medical degree and became a practicing psychiatrist. He is a world-renowned scholar and researcher and the leading authority on the near-death experience. He wrote the ground-breaking Life after Life, which sold 15 million copies. He has conducted extensive metaphysical research for over 25 years and has written five other books, including: Laugh After Laugh and Reunions, which details his research into controlled encounters with loved ones who have died, and may lead to scientific verification of life after death. We welcome the return of this brilliant, kind, unique, creative, gentle, and funny man on his fifth visit to Rowe.
