Raymond A. Moody's Life After Life

Life After Life What is it like we living another life after our death? How it feels leaving one life and entering another life? Life after life is a beautiful explanation of above questions written by Raymond A. Moody, Jr. He has both Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Virginia and M.D. from the Medical college of Georgia. He is presently practicing Psychiatry and doing further research, writing, and lecturing on the near-death experiences. “The book is about the investigation of phenomenon survival of bodily death. This book, written as it is by a human being, naturally reflects the background, opinions, and prejudices of its author.” (3, Moody) The book is not about proving that there is a life after death but is the collection

This question is asked by almost every human to themselves but none can explain it with all proofs. There are somehow people’s experiences who have been near death. The author says that it is very difficult to talk about death because this thinking can draw our own death closer and makes them more real and thinkable. However, the author has figured out something to compare death with. He compares death with dreamless sleep.

2. The experiences of persons who, in the course of accidents or severe injury or illness, came very close to physical

I recalled that moment. The nurse gave me three injections for making me unconscious but seeing that I started to cry. But when the third injection began to work I started feeling like going to a hallway. It was like going upstairs, and feels like body floating. I don’t remember to where I go at that time and the surgery was over and I was amazed to hear that I was crying for the whole period of surgery. So while reading the book life after life, I figured out that my soul left the body for a while because my physical body was crying and my soul was in a hallway somewhere going upstairs. The book doesn’t exactly prove that we have life after death but it somehow connects peoples’ experience with our ancient saying of famous people and
