What really happens when we die?
In this week’s episode, I speak with Dr. Raymond Moody, pioneering psychiatrist and author of the classic Life After Life. The man who coined the term Near Death Experience or NDE..
Across every culture and background, people who were pronounced dead and revived describe the same extraordinary scenes: a radiant light, a feeling of profound peace, reunions with loved ones, and a sense that death is not an ending but a beautiful transition.
Dr. Moody reflects on five decades of research that have transformed his understanding of consciousness. Once a skeptic, he now believes that something continues beyond the body and that these experiences hold vital lessons for how we live, love, and face our own mortality.
He’s also a very funny guy!
We explore:
- His first examination of an NDE
- Why we must now accept that consciousness is not simply biochemical
- Connection to his own grandma beyond the grave
- Appreciating nonsense
- The coming consciousness revolution
