Description

What is the Character and quality of the near-death experience? Do such experiences represent an authentic encounter with a world beyond, or are they an artifact of our brain’s activity? The common qualities of the near-death experience include feelings of profound peace, out-of-body sensation, meeting with “beings of light” and with one’s deceased relatives, reviewing one’s life and a reluctance to return. Dr. Moody explores the significance of these experiences for our understanding of the collective unconscious, emphasizing the value of wisdom and love as being primary in human life.It is a documentary style production that interviews many different people regarding their near death experiences. From an assassin during the Vietnam war, to a nurse, to a Soviet dissident; the people are diverse, but the stories have common threads. It all comes across as very believable, and very comforting.Length: 57 minutesRaymond A. Moody, Jr., M.D., a psychiatrist, is author of the classic Life After Life which sold over ten million copies and inaugurated research in the field of near-death studies.
