Dr. Raymond Moody, known as the “father of near-death studies,” joins us alongside NDE researcher Paul Perry with proof of an afterlife.

Since the publication of his seminal book, Life After Life, in 1975, Dr. Moody has remained objective about the long-term meaning of NDEs, refusing to declare them proof of consciousness after death. Now, after nearly five decades, he is taking his research public to finally answer humankind’s most pressing question: What happens when we die?

In this new book, Proof, Moody and Perry, who have co-written a dozen books on NDEs with fellow researchers, come full circle to explore the reality that consciousness survives the death of the body. Topics in todays conversation include an exploration of: - shared-death experiences - near-death experiences, - common paranormal signs and memories of those who go through these experiences - What we do when we die - Orb viewings - Spiritual Chamber experiences.

After being diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (an incurable lung disease) back in 2014, Mike Olsen underwent an open lung biopsy surgery - and his health went downhill from there. He spent the next 5 years on oxygen 24/7 until he got the news that there were a set of lungs available for him.

In 1975, Dr. Raymond Moody coined the term near-death experience in his book Life After Life (https://amzn.to/3m7MxHs). For half a century, he has researched some of life’s greatest mysteries.

As both a PhD in philosophy and an MD, he has had a strong interest in how medical realities intersect with the ineffable realm of philosophy. Throughout his five-decade career, he has explored themes related to the transpersonal aspects of death, dying and grief. In his book Glimpses of Eternity (https://amzn.to/3m54p5K), he discusses the phenomena of shared-death experiences. He writes about his inquiry into past lives in his book Coming Back and shares methods for evoking the dead, from Ancient Greece to modern times, in his book Reunions (https://amzn.to/31Rv3Z1).

He is also the author of God is Bigger Than the Bible (https://amzn.to/3oWVAwM), and is one of the leading authorities on Life, Death and Experiences in between.

Bill Guggenheim is a pioneer in the field of After-Death Communication (ADC) experiences. He is considered to be the "Father of ADC research" and has written and spoken on this subject for more than 25 years.

In May of 1974, Bill experienced a spiritual awakening that would shape the rest of his life. Over the course of four months, he received messages from the "other side" that challenged all of his beliefs. These messages (writings) consisted of short stories, philosophy, parables, and poetry - all of which affirmed life after death - something he literally did not believe in.

Bill is the author of 'Hello From Heaven' which considers 3,300 firsthand accounts of After Death Communication and delves deeper in 353 of these experiences.

After Death Communication (ADC). What is it, and how common is it? Join me as I chat to viewers who have had experiences from the other side. Season 11 will be focussed on this very interesting topic alongside our usual topics of life, death and experiences in-between. We will have experiencers, experts and researchers joining us to chat about their own findings on this not so uncommon phenomena...

Rohini Moradi’s breath stopped and her heart, and that of her unborn baby, dropped to near zero on her due day—forcing her into an emergency C-section. During this experience, Rohini left her body and she witnessed the chaos in the emergency room as the medical team frantically attempted to save both their lives. 

The doctors managed to deliver baby safely and Rohini gradually recovered from the death-defying labor.

Breathing is a gift that we often take for granted—until it’s taken away from us. It’s literally a life and death process. Jacob Cooper understands this all-too-well after suffocating from whooping cough, a respiratory tract infection that is fatal for infants.

At the young age of 3, Jacob’s body shut down from oxygen deprivation and he experienced an OBE (Out of Body Experience) that shaped his perspective of life and death. In this episode of the Let’s Talk Near Death podcast, Jacob shares his NDE, what he learned from the experience, and how this shaped his life path.

Jacob Cooper is now a Clinical Social Worker, Certified Hypnotherapist, and Certified Reiki Master. He specializes in Past Life Regression Therapy, where he leverages his own experience and research to share insights on the mystery of life.

Jacob is also the author of “Life After Breath,” which is a wonderful read that talks about how a brush with fatality gave him a glimpse of immortality.

Key Topics Discussed in this Episode:

- The experience of having an NDE at age 3 and recalling the experience with profound detail. Memories of trauma are often unique – our bodies and brain respond differently to threats.

- How suffocating from a fatal respiratory tract infection (whooping cough) drastically changed Jacob’s life and inspired his new book, Life After Breath.

- Going on a rollercoaster ride of despair from oxygen deprivation and euphoric elements of familiarity in encountering what Jacob describes as “the eternal light of God.”

- “Do you feel like you can tap into everything that happened? Or was it too big, too vast, to be utilized today?”

- The idea of feeling spiritually connected or having an inkling that something might happen. The experience of Jacob coming back into his physical body—including suppressed emotions and the challenge of not being able to describe the profound experience. “I was so infuriated by waking up after being in heaven to a cold hospital bed.” Jacob’s connection to the “voice of eternity” and having a choice to come back.

- The idea of opening up ourselves to infinite possibilities and not being stuck in a fixed viewpoint of awareness.

- “How much of life do you think is already pre-planned?” Predestined Life vs Free will. Can we screw things up?

- Listen to Jacob’s response to; “What would you say to somebody who's maybe searching a little bit deeper, to tap into knowing how they can live their best life and live with purpose and be on track?”

At the age of 56, Rob A. Gentile had a massive heart attack followed by a profound near-death experience. On his journey to heart transplant, he was close to death again and entered the Ethereal a second time. He found himself inside a shapeless, formless vacuum of unending and infinite vastness. He was everywhere at once, scattered across a timeless expanse and connected to the wisdom of the universe—all of it without words.

He saw and simultaneously became part of a gigantic interactive web of twinkling lights covering the Earth and stretching into infinity. Curiously, some parts of the web were brighter, some dim, and some completely dark. He later came to believe that this web represents a network that binds us all and is built upon quarks—the smallest elements of matter, and which are made of light.

Rob is the author of Quarks of Light which can be found at: https://amzn.to/3ulTaZg

Edgar Cayce had a likely Near-Death Experience sometime around 1883/1885 after drowning in a pond whilst fishing.

He gained some very strong psychic gifts and went on to do some incredible work in the area of readings and healing. Due to his age, and the lack of information around such phenomena at the time, it can only be speculated in modern times that what Edgar went through was an NDE.

Much of this information has been collated from websites, study materials and also the Association for Research and Enlightenment (ARE) via www.edgarcayce.org where Edgar's legacy lives on. You can listen to this episode via the link in bio, or cut & paste into your browser.

Raymond O’Brien was born into a family of seers. As an adult, his mother foretold of dire consequences if he didn’t ‘change’ his drug and alcohol-fuelled lifestyle.

Soon after, a ‘voice’ warned him that he was going to die. What followed was a night of terror and revelation when he found himself rushed to hospital unable to breathe, going into cardiac arrest. Deciding to let himself go, Raymond passed over to the ‘other side’ where he became ‘one with everything’ and encountered spiritual beings.

Raymond has gone on to become a counsellor to NDE survivors, is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, and is the Uk’s first NDE trauma psychotherapist.

At the height of his career in US television, Peter Anthony became seriously ill as the result of a medical misdiagnosis. At a time when AIDS paranoia was at its peak, he had to disguise the symptoms of his condition to protect his career.  

One night at his birthday celebration, he found himself bleeding and in intense pain. Having taken himself to the ER, he was finally wheeled into surgery after being left to wait for over an hour.

As host of IANDS NDE Radio, Lee Witting not only has a wealth of eye-opening NDE research but is a Near Death Experiencer himself.

Lee had his NDE when he drowned as a 7-year-old, and despite its significance, it was an event he would not talk about for quite some time.

Lee went on to earn his doctorate in NDE Studies from Bangor Theological Seminary and served for fifteen years as chaplain at Eastern Maine Medical Centre. There, he interviewed hundreds of NDE'rs and worked with others who recounted many personal mystical events, including shared-death experiences, prophecy, and after-death communications.

Today, Lee shares details of his experience, his life since, and his research into Non-Ordinary Experiences, past lives, reincarnation and dreams.

His new novel, 'Beyond the Phoenix Door', tells a story inspired by real NDEs, and what they reveal about our role in the creation.

Jeff Janssen had a physical Near Death Experience following a near-fatal heart attack at age 42. This event forced him to begin questioning many things about his life, including his own pending death.  He began to question things like:

Dr Eben Alexander, a highly-skilled neurosurgeon had a life-changing Near Death Experience when his brain was attacked by a rare illness.  

After developing bacterial meningitis, Dr Alexander fell into a deep coma when the damage to his brain shut down his cerebral cortex. While it seemed unlikely that Dr Alexander could experience any level of consciousness, he had a very real and profound experience.

As he lay there, he journeyed beyond this world, encountering an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.

As his doctors considered stopping treatment, Dr Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had returned, forever changed by his NDE. The experience had opened up a new reality of consciousness for him, and despite the deep injury to his brain, he had made a full, miraculous recovery.

Dr Alexander is the author of two books, the first; Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife has been a global top seller.

Living in a Mindful Universe shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into non-local consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. Living in a Mindful Universe teaches you how to tap into your greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate the enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity, guidance, and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness, you will gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all, ultimately enriching every facet of our lives. A practical companion to the book is a (completely free) 33-day online course: ebenalexander.com/33days

Andy Petro had a near-death experience in 1955 in a drowning incident, just days before his graduation. During his experience, Andy became aware of two different versions of himself. One being a dimensional, earthbound version (Earth-Andy), and the other a multi-dimensional, holographic being of the Light (Light-Andy).

With little information or understanding around NDEs at that time, 30 years would pass before he opened up about his experience.

Now in his eighties, Andy shares with us the details of his journey, the lessons it taught him, and how it changed his life.

Andy has also written two books:

Remembering the Light: Remembering Eternity is a collection of poetry which describes Andy’s Near-Death Experience (NDE) and his passage into the Light. In this book, he describes what it actually felt like to be alive in the unconditional loving Light.
