    Dr. Moody is one of the most well-respected, and he's just a precious man who has forever changed the life of my husband and myself. (Our outlook on life after death) After my 20-year-old son was murdered. ..the DA called us to the office for a meeting. They all went on to tell me and my husband they weren't sure they could ensure a conviction of my son's murderer. At the end of the meeting they looked at us and said, "if we can't get him now then he'll pay for it in hell"...at the same time, and simultaneously, both me and my husband replied, "we don't believe in Hell". They all looked at us as if we had alien heads. We told them we believe he'll get what he deserves here on earth. A year later, he was found dead, but in the year before he died, he spent most of his time in prison for other crimes. Karma? God's plan, or is that what I needed to wake me up out of the traditional church dogma. Either way, I learned a lot. Not to say that I don't miss my son each and every day, but I truly believe Dr. Moody and certainly wouldn't worship a God that torments someone for their short lifetime here. Most importantly, I KNOW if I could ask my son if he (the murderer of my son) should be sent to this "hell"...he'd say, "Absolutely not." So if my son would say that, I would say that, then God would certainly say that. Thank you both for this incredible interview.❤❤❤ I had to come back and add... I wish it wouldn't have ended. I hope he does come back for another interview with you.

It’s very difficult to explain the effect this book had on me but consequently I have read and reread all of his books. Before my 96 year old uncle passed away he experienced frequent visitations from departed family members during a few months before he died.

I was depressed and was in a high angxiety state during a intense corporate meeting with 4 individuals. I left my body n floated over the meeting and read the mind of the director and answered his questions after my mind returned to the body. Scared the hell out of me. Great pod cast

    Thank u Dr Moody. I found ur books when I was 28. My father died at 47. I was devastated. Being the oldest of 5 kids. You helped me so much and I have had many experiences of my father since his death. One of the first was my father being at a NDE group I went to because I was so desperate to know he was still with me. My Father showed up, put his arm around me walked with me after the meeting. Asked me how I’m doing. Told me he was doing Just fine. He called me Kiddo. Just like he always did when he was alive. I didn’t realize that it was my Father till the next day when two friends that came with me to the meeting. One saw him too. The other one swears No one came in late (as he did) no one sat next to me as he did and told me the door was locked at the meeting after we all sat down. The other friend asked me “yea who was that guy u we’re walking arm and arm with after the meeting. I said I don’t know just a nice guy who walked with me. Lmao. My sister yelled out upon hearing the story That was Dad! And it was. No doubt. 🤷‍♀️🩵

    He wrote of the formula for you to leave your body, systematically closing down the senses in a meditation, in one of his books, I tried it, and it worked. But it didn't, really, until I gave up, after a few times. I then floated up, a natural buoyancy which by intention I contradicted, out of fear. I wouldn't allow myself to float through the ceiling, but was working up the courage until....I felt a cramping in my hands below, which were folded on my chest, such a strange feeling, like I had two sets of hands. I decided to go back in my body, move them, then go back up to begin my exploring and soar...it didn't work that way. But it was like I broke a seal of some sort, on occasion when drifting off to sleep, one leg would sort of lengthen, when I realized, I would snap it back, and could feel the heel go through the end of the mattress as it joined with the physical leg. Reminded me of the old Peter Pan book, when he lost his shadow and was trying to stick it to the bottoms of his feet. In this case, my real essense was trying to stick the body to my feet! Anyway, I was an Astral wimp. But, we all have our time, and I suppose I had a fear if I left, I wouldn't go back in. Too much to do here.

    When I was working in an emergency room in college I was eating dinner one evening in the dining hall. A physician who was a moonlighter in the ER sat down to eat with me. This was in the early 80’s and he asked if I had heard of NDE’s. He went on to tell me that a pt he had had during residency had died on the OR table and was successfully resuscitated. Days later while doing his rounds the PT described to the doctor that he had left his body, and asked the doctor to check something for him. The PT had a seven digit number in his memory that he could not forget and believed that he saw it on top of the one of the OR lamps. Could this doctor confirm it? My dinner companion said that he went and retrieved a ladder, and sure enough the seven digit number was the serial number on top of one of the OR lamps. He looked at me and said, “I believe!” I have come to believe that the visions and experiences told in the Bible are NDE’s. Saul knocked down on the road to Damascus, visited by Jesus and blind for a week. Who was renamed Paul….was an NDE. Love the Mystery! The wisdom in this podcast, wonderful ❤

    The power of love and the obsickes you can overcome because of that love ❤ you You popped up on my feed and I had KZread hooked up to my TV and somehow you just started playing by accident lol! I was meant to watch you today. Your beautiful face appeared before me on my screen and I was mesmerised by the beautify that you possess, not only on the outside, but an incredibly beautiful soul shines from you. Speaking about your mum and the love you have for one another bought tears to my eyes. A mother’s love for their son/sons is something that is completely indescribable, you think you love your mum, x that by 1,000,000 and that is what your mum feels for you. It’s really heartwarming to see the love and respect you have for her. I have two sons 21 and 23 and wow, they are my everything, my universe and my will to live after going through a similar experience to you, were I suffered a status epilepticus, the first and only seizure I’ve had, it struck me out of the blue early one evening, in front of my children, i collapsed backwards, landing heavily on a wooden chair, smashing my thoracic and cervical spine, fracturing multiple vertebrae, I proceeded into a prolonged active seizure , lasting 20 minutes or more, respiratory arrest for about 5 minutes, I was black in my face just no oxygen, they saw my eyes go, like the life went from me body. I was gone. It wasn’t good. Anyway, that moment defined me, I had a hypoxic head injury and multiple spinal fractures, I couldn’t talk or get words out for weeks, I was so confused and I couldn’t even write a letter or a word down on paper, the pain was unbearable and due to many health professionals making a lot of mistakes, it was a very long recovery. My soul had left my body that day and I fell into such a deep depression. I wanted to die, my life wasn’t the same, I had three spinal surgeries and I wasn’t the same my personality had changed and physically I had gone from a super fit active, very social, fun (some lies too much fun) to a person who wasn’t even able to go out anymore, I was in so much pain and so unwell. I felt 90. The suicidal ideologies just got worse and worse and I gave up, I didn’t think I was worthy of being a mother anymore longer, I couldn’t do the things I used to do. I felt useless and I was over the pain and feeling so unwell. You talk of your mother saving your life. The same thing happened due to the love I felt for my children. I went to a spiritual healer for a while and I had the most profound experience as we went through my life story and healing, we sat there and my healer also saw this too, but a huge bright bright ball of light came towards me, she watched and my mouth was open and it came from the sky and through the window into the room and the heat and love poured through my head and went through my body, it was so bright my eyes were shinning! (They were so sore like they had been burnt for a week) I felt the most overwhelming love and it was my soul return, I had come back, but my soul never did and thus was a few years later. It was so profound and it was the most insane thing I’ve ever seen or felt. The most beautiful light. Before this I had hated myself my whole life, when this happened everything made sense, I was a mother who lived so deeply, I had raised the most incredible souls, even though my own childhood experience wasn’t good, I’d broken the cycle of abuse, I knew that in that moment, I had achieved incredible things and my purpose was my children. Sorry I’m babbling… but I can now see so much beauty around me, I have so much gratitude, I love myself and with that came freedom and peace and I can now life in my own truth and I believe in myself. It was like a delayed NDE. It was unexplainable. But anyway I understand that love, I understand my purpose and I look at my kids and see the most incredible souls, I’m proud of helping shape them, they have done the work, but I guided them in the right path. Everything just makes sense. ❤ thank you for sharing and thank you for giving me a space to share even though I’m not making much sense. ❤ keep on being the incredible young man you are and your mum is one lucky woman to have such an incredible son xx hugs

    Im wondering if i had a shared death experience in Dec when my Mom died on 12/20/2023. I did not know that my Mom was in the dying process under Hospice as my sisters did not tell me because i was sick at the time. Also Mom lives in Pa and i live in Houston,TX. I had just been to visit my Mom to help care for her after a stroke but when I left she was doing ok. Well I got so sick that my doctor admitted me to a hospital on Dec. 18th. They were giving me IV antibiotics and other meds for pain but for some reason nothing helped and I could not sleep, i was miserable with being ill and no relief. Finally on Dec 20th mid afternoon I FINALLY felt relief and was verbalizing this with my nurse and about how my Mom and how she had a stroke but was doing better. 10 min after the nurse left I got the call that my Mom had just passed over. She had taken a turn for the worse on the 18th. I just feel as if I went through a sort of the dying process with her. We were very close in life so it kinda makes sense but I can't be sure. It was just so weird. I left the hospital the next day and continued to improve and made it to my Mom's Memorial Service in Pa. and have not felt the tremendous grief I thought I'd have with her passing even though i miss her greatly. I feel a sense of Peace. Thank you for this show and thank you Dr Moody for sharing and for being you. ❤

    A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE, when I was struck by lightning during September 1970. Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

    What a sweet man there’s a warm humour that sits underneath . He’s done so much for those whom experienced NDE’s as it would have been such a relief to be able to speak to someone who willing and curious enough to hear them out. Back in the day when talking about such things would have had carted off to the asylum ward. So many suffered such anguish having had such a profound experience of love and acceptance to return back to their lives on the earthly plain and be shunned and judged. It says a lot about how fearful some people are despite their beliefs. Judging another is judging oneself since we are all part of the whole. What we choose to say and do we’re indeed accountable as much as we choose to receive what we hear. Less judgement less fear.

    My opinion at 82 yrs. Every time society seems to be peaceful and happy (=contented), some malcontents provocation disrupt "law & order." An old story says, you disagree if you want. A half-brother named Cain killed his other named half-brother, Able. Cain was apparently jealous of his brother and could not control his emotions. The story goes, that some people are under a curse because of that murder. My guilt for not controlling my emotions, my guilt for cursing a friend is overwhelming. I did not curse my dear friend for spite or evil. Pain; shame for being an old crippled, toothless poor person. I love him as a friend. Even now, there is not a morning, evening or night I pray he knows how I miss him. He came to me with love, and because I had dislocated my leg, had two Slipped spinal disks and "PUNKED" at work and heavy on painkillers I could not think clearly and turned against my only true friend. Not just hartbroken, but not the way of Cain I will die from neglect. Not Cain who felt no sorrow, no repentance for killing his half-brother I want to die, if payment for causing the death is possible. My friend committed suicide. Remorse ? No, I am seeing a mental health counselor, but my guilt is making me crazy. I love him and miss him and hurt him. There is no way, even with prayers and tears. Crying and screaming, "Why ? Why ? Why ? Did you hurt yourself ? I would have done almost anything for you. I tried to give you gifts and you and your mother told me not send you presents. You returned money I sent. You wrote that you were alright. What was I to do ? Then you show up, when I got problems of my own.?" Oh, G*D please forgive me in Jesus Christ YHWH for a sin like Cain. If life and deity allow, like the descendants of Cain, I will post as the Kenites, but fight the serpent, study the Pharisees to know the truth. Compound my sin, to study the spirit world, with modern sorcery called science. Post an internet page in memory of my friend, and explain that AGAPE, Univeral Spiritual Love is blessed by YHWH. Same gender affectation that is honest, is spiritual as Apostle Paul the Pharisees wrote, if you are sincere with pure innocence like a child. Go to First Cornithians 13: 04 to 14: 08. My friend please forgive me. Oh, my one true G*D Almighty YHWH forgive my public shame, please. Unlike Cain, if it be your will, take my life, replace his life to this world if it is what he wants. I am crazy with sorrow for what I said to my true friend, like a half-brother Able never knew the Pharisees to study TORAH, the "fence and guard" to wisdom. Shalom.

    Christian theology that I disagree with: The misdeeds of humans so angers God that he requires great suffering, damnation in a fiery painful Hell as restitution and compensation for that evil. (Anger is not a Godly attribute) The level of restitution and payback required by God is so great that there is no way that the beings he created can possibly endure the punishment that they deserve or "God" requires. Therefore a redeemer is required for which God sacrifices His own Son. It is hard for me to believe in such a God who would do that or require that. This concept I believe is in error on many levels. God is first, the embodiment of perfect love. HE/SHE is merciful, forgiving, and is totally without need of anything, least of all need of restitution, compensation, or even need of your worship. Requiring that someone else suffer immeasurable pain to provide restitution or payback for someone else's misdeeds is not a characteristic or attribute of a God of perfect love, a God who has no needs. Historically, only Pagan gods required blood sacrifices. Jesus urges us to forgive our enemies. Nowhere does He imply that In addition we should desire or require some sort of physical restitution. A further corruption in ancient Christianity was the ability to purchase indulgences or forgiveness -- a privilege I presume available only to the wealthy and acceptable only to clergy willing to take bribes. Actually, I believe that the concept of original sin is an oxymoron. If you believe God is limitless, then you can never define Him or attribute any characteristics of a descriptive nature, because to do so would be placing limits on the limitless.

    Yes! That's a great question! I'll try to remember that one next time I talk with Raymond. My own thought (take it with a grain of salt) is that many NDEs occur under anesthesia and that might be a contributor to the lack of memory once brought back. It may also be the case that some are not granted the experience because of what's needed for their own soulistic progress. All of that is pure speculation, of course, but I think it is beneficial to ponder and try to come up with the most plausible explanation with whatever evidence is available. Because NDEs possess a good deal of homogeneity, I tend to think that the experiences have credibility despite the experiences of those who report that their experiences suggested that death was "lights out". ✌&🤟

Let me ask ya'll: 🤔🤔🤔With someone that hates you or is indifferent to you, would you force him into your home and give him everything you have when he doesn't care or want to be there? People make choices, and God gives us life for us to enjoy it and to be formed and to develop a personality and godly character. We make choices and freedom of choice is ours. He allows us to choose. That is liberty. He knows what is going to happen, but he still gives us the freedom to choose, until the last moment. It happened to one of my best friends, he had died and received Jesus before he was buried.

    I believe in God because I believe in rationality. Any who employ the scientific method believe this, even though they will not admit it. How many scientist, philosophers, theologians, musicians, would spend their time, even the labors of a lifetime, trying to understand and apply the mysteries of the Universe if they did not believe that the object of their search would yield for them knowledge that was useful, comprehensible, believable, RATIONAL? When they do discover something useful and applicable, they heap honors and accolades on themselves, rather than recognizing the genius and masterful complexity of the Universe. It should be obvious that only a sentient being can display, exhibit or create anything rational. Therefore, the Universe is a sentient being. The UNIVERSE is GOD.
