Biography of Dr. Raymond Moody:
Dr. Raymond Moody, BA, MA, PhD (philosophy), PhD (psychology), MD
Dr. Raymond Moody was born on June 30, 1944 in Porterdale, Georgia
state. He is a scholar and a joyful soul. Dr. Raymond Moody is a
researcher, psychiatrist, philosopher and parapsychiologist, who
pioneered research into Near Death Experience (NDE). He is most famous
as an author of the books about Life After Death and Near-Death
Experience, a term which he coined in 1975. He first attained
widespread recognition in around 1977 with the publication Life
After Life, his best-selling work on the Near-Death Experience (NDE).
Prior to this book being published, almost no one had heard about the
near death experience. He has pursued this subject in his subsequent
works Reflections on Life After Life, The Light Beyond and other
books.
Raymond Moody studied philosophy at the University of Virginia where
he obtained a B.A. (1966), a M.A. (1967) and a PhD (1969) in the same
subject philosophy. He also obtained another PhD in psychology from
West Georgia College, Georgia, where he later became a professor in
that topic. In 1976, he was awarded an M.D. from the Medical College
of Georgia. In 1998 Moody was appointed Chair in Consciousness Studies
at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. After obtaining his M.D.,
Moody worked as a forensic psychiatrist in a maximum-security Georgia
state hospital. Moody has been married three times. As of 2004, he is
married to Cheryl, and they have one adopted son, Carter, and one
adopted daughter, Carol Anne.
Dr. Moody, being an impassioned researcher, became interested in the
phenomenon of near-death experiences during his medical training.
After 25 years of working with the people who had NDE, Dr. Moody's
book Life After Death details both the distressing signs and
symptoms of the grieving process and the inspiring, transformational
experiences that grief can bring about.
Since that time, Dr. Moody has written over eleven books and numerous
articles in academic and professional literature about the subject NDE
and created the Dr. John Dee Memorial Theater of the Mind, a facility
that enables people to experience altered states of consciousness for
the purposes of education, entertainment and spiritual advancement.
His research helped facilitating apparitions of deceased loved ones.
Awards
1. In 1988, Dr. Moody received the World Humanitarian Award in Denmark
,
2. In 1988, Dr. Moody also received a bronze medal in the Human
Relations Category at the New York Film Festival for the movie version
of Life after Life.
Near Death Experience (NDE) is Very
Common in USA
In 1982 the Gallup polling organization discovered that 8 Million
Adult Americans have had near death experiences. This is about one
person in twenty, which a very large number that cannot be ignored or
brushed off lightly. In 1997 the U.S. News & World Report survey found
that over 15 Million Adult Americans have claimed to have had an NDE.
Most people do not talk freely about their experiences for fear of
ridicule.
Dr. Moody recorded, compared and analyzed the cases of well over 150
subjects who claimed to have had a NDE. Dr. Moore's research concluded
that there are about 9 or 10 stages in which a person experiences a
strange phenomenon called NDE after being found clinically dead for a
number of minutes, or in some extreme cases a number of hours, and
then returned to physical life. All of them who had a NDE reported
that they felt extreme peace and happiness in virtually every
instance. They also reported that they no longer have any fear of
death. Incredibly though it may seem, a great many of these people
had seen and experienced the same or very similar events during the
period that they were clinically dead.
BACKCOVER
OF THE BOOK “Life After
Life" Published in 1977
|
A man is dying on his hospital bed. He hears himself “pronounced dead”
by his doctor and nurses, as his heart stopped functioning and the
brain’s electrical activity monitor (EEG) goes absolutely flat. He
begins to hear an uncomfortable noise, a loud ringing or buzzing, and
at the same time feels himself moving very rapidly through a long
tunnel. After this, he suddenly finds himself outside of his own
physical body, but still in the immediate physical environment, and he
sees his own body from a distance, as though he is a spectator. He
watches the resuscitation attempt from this unusual vantage point and
is in a state of emotional upheaval.
After a while, he collects himself and becomes more accustomed to his
surroundings. He notices that he still has a “body,” but one of a very
different nature and with very different powers from the physical body
he has left behind. Soon other things begin to happen. Other spirits
come to meet and help him. He glimpses the spirits of relatives and
friends who have already died, and a loving, warm spirit of a kind he
has never encountered before—a Being of Light—appears before him. He
is overwhelmed by the intense feelings of joy, love, and peace being
transmitted by the Being of Light. The Being of Light asks him a
question, nonverbally, to make him evaluate his life (life review) and
helps him along by showing him a panoramic, instantaneous playback of
the major events of his life (He sees his entire life from childhood
till now like in a movie reel). At some point, he finds himself
approaching some sort of barrier or border, apparently representing
the limit between earthy life and the next life. Yet, he finds that
that he must go back to the Earth, that the time for his death has not
yet come. At this point he resists, for by now he is taken up with his
experiences in the afterlife and does not want to return. He is
overwhelmed by the intense feelings of joy, love, and peace. Despite
his attitude, though, he reunites with his physical body and lives.
Later he tries to tell others about his Near Death Experience (NDE), but he has trouble doing
so. In the first place, he can find no human words adequately to
describe these unearthly episodes. In the second place, nobody would
listen to him and pay attention to his highly remarkable experience.
He also finds that others could scoff, and make fun about it, so he
stops telling other people about his NDE. Still that experience
affects his life profoundly, especially his views about death and its
relationship to life.
His life changes forever, he becomes a changed man. He starts
researching about NDE and becoming a religious guru or philosopher of
some sort. He gains confidence on what would happen when he is really
dead as the secret is just revealed to him. He even writes a best-selling
book. He has no fear of death anymore, as he envisioned his destiny.

TEN STAGES OF NEAR
DEATH EXPERIENCE (NDE)
According to Dr. Raymond Moody's research there are about 9 or 10
stages in which a person experiences a strange phenomenon called NDE
after being found clinically dead:
1. Floating
Above the Body
At the point of physical death (clinically dead), the individuals
found themselves floating above their physical bodies immersed in
feelings of total peace and the absence of fear. Each deceased person
found that he/she could hear the thoughts of those present and
discovered that they could also move through walls and solid matter
with great ease.
2. Passing
Through The Tunnel
In about 40% of cases a tunnel appeared towards which they were drawn.
They heard an uncomfortable and loud ringing or buzzing noise. They
found themselves quickly moving through this tunnel often accompanied
by a humming sensation.
3. The Light
As they move through this tunnel all individuals noticed that a light
was getting closer to them and soon they found themselves arriving
into this brilliant light.
4. Meeting
Deceased Loved Ones
At this point many people reported meeting with deceased loved ones
(relatives and friends). Occasionally some people saw cities of light
that were more beautiful than anything we can imagine in physical
reality.
5. Telepathic
Communication
During this experience each individual discovered that they could
communicate with others telepathically that results in immediate
understanding, no language necessary.
6. The Being
of Light
Most people then reported meeting a radiant being. Some believed this
radiant being is God while others say He was Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed,
Krishna, etc. It seemed that each person translated this being
according to their own religious beliefs. Whoever this being actually
was, He was full of love, compassion and understanding. Usually at
this point the Being told the individual that they must return to
physical life. However, before the person returned, they were shown a
review of their physical lifetime like a movie reel.
7. The Life
Review
This life review started at the person's birth and continued through
their lifetime to the point at which they died. This panoramic life
review did not occur in time, as we know it. People have described it
as everything happening at the same time, but also occurring
chronologically from the time of birth through childhood, adolescence
and adult years right up to the point of their death. In this review
the persons found themselves reliving all that they have done during
their life. The individual not only saw every action that they have
made in life but they also saw and felt the effects of their actions
upon the lives of others.
8. No Judgment
In virtually every case the individual believed that they were
actually judging themselves and what they have done during life. They
feel great sadness during the parts of the review where their actions
had hurt other people, but they also felt great joy for the actions
that had made others happiness.
9. Reluctance
to Return to the Physical Body
Once the life review was complete, the Being of light told the person
that they must now return to physical life as they still have things
to achieve before they can return to this wondrous place. Most people
say that at this point they feel great reluctance to return as it
would mean having to leave this rapturous and wonderful state of
being.
10. Time Does
not Exist
People who had near-death experiences always said that time in this
state of being was either greatly compressed or does not exist at all.
Some say that the experience could have lasted a second or even an
eternity. In other words, it cannot be described in the normal
language in which we understand time.
Dr. Raymond Moody’s
Most Favorite Finding
Dr. Raymond Moody Said that The Most Incredible Thing in NDEs that He
Studied Was the Encounter of the Being of Light. Almost All 150
Subjects of Dr. Raymond Moody Reported the Encounter of the Being of
Light Immediately After the Crossover of the Tunnel. Typically the
First Appearance Was Rather Dim Light, Which Rapidly Got Brighter and
Brighter. The Individual Felt Some Sort of Unearthly
Brilliance of Clear White Color. The Brilliancy of the Light Was Felt
To be Indescribable, Yet It Did Not in Anyway Hurt the Eyes, Probably
Because at this Point Onwards, the Individual Did Not Have Physical
Eyes to be Dazzled, and Was Able to See and Enjoy the Other Activities
or Things Around that Bright Light. Every Subject/Individual Witnessed
That It Was Not Simply a Bright Light or a Thing But Was Certainly the
Being of Light—Many Believed Wholeheartedly the Presence of God. The
Subjects Reported that They Sensed an Irresistible Magnetic Attraction
Towards the Superiority of the Being of Light, and the Attention of
Every Subject Studied is Ineluctably Drawn to the Powerful Being of
Light.
The First Thing That The Being of Light Said to Every
Subject/Individual Was:
“What Have You Done So Far In Your Life and
What Could You Show Me.”
NDEs of Dr. Raymond
Moody's Subjects
Example 1:
I heard the doctors say that I was dead, and that's when I began to
feel as though I were floating through the blackness. Everything was
very black, except I could see a light on the exit. It was a very,
very brilliant light, but not too large at first. It grew larger as I
came nearer and nearer to it.
I was trying to get to that light at the end, because I felt that it
was Christ, and I was trying to reach that point. It was not a
frightening experience. It was more or less a pleasant thing. For
immediately, being a Christian, I had connected the light with Christ,
who said, "I am the light of the world." I said to myself, "If this is
it, if I am to die, then I know who waits for me at the end, there in
that light."
Example 2:
I got up and walked into the hall to go get a drink, and it was at
that point, as they found out later, that my appendix ruptured. I
became very weak, and I fell down. I began to feel a sort of drifting,
a movement of my real being in and out of my body, and to hear
beautiful music. I floated on down the hall and out the door onto the
screened-in porch. There, it almost seemed that clouds, a pink mist
really, began to gather around me, and then I floated right straight
on through the screen, just as though it weren't there, and up into
this pure crystal clear light, an illuminating white light. It was
beautiful and so bright, so radiant, but it didn't hurt my eyes even a
bit. It's not any kind of light you can describe on Earth. I didn't
actually see a person in this light, and yet it has a special
identity, it definitely does. It is a light of perfect understanding
and perfect love.
The thought came to my mind, "Lovest thou me?" This was not exactly in
the form of a question, but I guess the connotation of what the light
said was, "If you do love me, go back and complete what you began in
your life." And all during this time, I felt as though I were
surrounded by an overwhelming love and compassion.
Example 3:
I knew I was dying and that there was nothing I could do about it,
because no one could hear me. I was out of my body, there's no doubt
about it, because I could see my own body there on the operation room
table. My soul was out! All this made me feel very bad at first, but
then, this really bright light came into my sight. It did seem that it
was a little dim at first, but then it was this huge beam. It was just
a tremendous amount of light, nothing like a big bright flashlight, it
was just too much light. And it gave off heat to me; I felt a warm
sensation.
It was a bright yellowish white, more white. It was tremendously
bright; I just can't describe it. It seemed that it covered
everything, yet it didn't prevent me from seeing everything around me
- the operating room, the doctors and nurses, everything. I could see
clearly, and it wasn't blinding me at all.
At first, when the light came, I wasn't sure what was happening, but
then, it asked, it kind of asked me if I was ready to die. It was like
talking to a person, but a person wasn't there. The light's what was
talking to me, but in a voice. Now, I think that the voice that was
talking to me actually realized that I wasn't ready to die. You know,
it was just kind of testing me more than anything else. Yet, from the
moment the light spoke to me, I felt really good - secure and loved.
The love which came from it is just unimaginable, indescribable. It
was a fun person to be with! And it had a sense of humor, too -
definitely!

Proof of Heaven: A
Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife Paperback –
October 23, 2012
by Eben Alexander (Author),
Price: $10.99 |
1. Story of Dr. Eben Alexander
Dr. Eben Alexander has been an academic neurosurgeon for
the last 25 years. Over those years he personally dealt
with hundreds of patients suffering from severe
alterations in their level of consciousness. Dr.
Alexander “knew” that what people of faith call the
“soul” is really a product of brain chemistry.
In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, Dr. Alexander
himself became a comatose patient. For seven days
Alexander lay in a hospital bed in a deep coma. Then, as
his doctors weighed the possibility of stopping
treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. Alexander’s
recovery is by all accounts a medical miracle. But the
real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body
lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and
encountered 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.
Before Alexander underwent his journey, he could not
reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief
in heaven, God, or the soul. That difficulty with belief
created an empty space that no professional triumph
could erase. Today he is a doctor who believes that true
health can be achieved only when we realize that God and
the soul are real and that death is not the end of
personal existence but only a transition.
After having the NDE, he wrote the book
"Eben
Alexander: Proof of Heaven."

To Heaven and Back: A Doctor's
Extraordinary Account of Her Death, Heaven, Angels, and Life Again:
A True Story Paperback – May 29, 2012 by
Mary C. Neal (Author), Price: $9.96 |
2.
Breathtaking Story of Dr. Mary Neal
Dr. Mary Neal is a board-certified orthopaedic spine
surgeon, born and raised in Michigan and graduated from
the University of Kentucky before attending the UCLA
medical school. On Jan 14, 1999, Dr. Mary Neal drowned
and died while kayaking on a South American river in
Chile. When her Kayak was pinned and trapped underwater
for 12 minutes, another Kayaker brought her to the
shore, and noticed no breath or heartbeat for more than
24 minutes. Neal was able to be resuscitated and
remarkably suffered no brain damage. When Neal regained
consciousness, she said she had been to heaven. She
experienced life after death. She went to heaven and
returned back, conversed with Jesus and experienced
God’s encompassing love. She was returned to Earth with
some specific instructions for work she still needed to
do.
Mary Neal said that during
her NDE in heaven, she saw some spiritual beings in a
domed-structure. They had a sort of physical form, they
had heads, arms, legs and were wearing sort of robes.
They were all overjoyed to see Mary Neal and told her it
'wasn't her time' and was forewarned of her son's tragic
death at an early age. This fortune-telling of spiritual
beings in heaven was verified by Mary Neal as it became
a reality in her own life. Mary Neal's
19-year-old
son, Willie,
when he was roller skiing,
died 10 years later when a
driver,
distracted by his cell phone, struck him with his
vehicle and killed him.
Her life has been filled with miracles and intervention
of God. Her story gives reason to live by faith and is a
story of hope.
Dr. Mary C. Neal After NDE,
Believes the Following:
God's unconditional love for each of us is intense,
complete, and is reflected in all of Heaven. Before we
return to Heaven, our real home, we have an incredible
opportunity on Earth to face challenges that will help
us learn, grow and to become more Christ-like in the
fruits of our spirit. Our time is so short that we need
to live fulfilling God's business every day. After
having the NDE, she wrote the book:
"Mary
C. Neal: To Heaven and Back."

Imagine Heaven: Near-Death Experiences,
God's
Promises, and the Exhilarating Future That Awaits
You
Imagine
Heaven of John Burke is so thoroughly researched
that even a skeptic can see that Burke has thought
of every angle. He's researched near death
experiences (NDEs) from all sorts of people: those
who have nothing to gain and a lot of credibility to
lose (e.g., doctors), those from other faiths, those
with disabilities here who have no disabilities in
heaven, and those who had negative experiences after
dying.
All of us long to know what life after death will be
like. Bestselling author "John Burke" is no
exception. In Imagine Heaven, Burke compares
over 100 gripping stories of near-death experiences
(NDEs to what Scripture says about our biggest
questions of Heaven:
Will I be myself? Will I see
my friends and loved ones?
What will Heaven look like?
What is God like?
What will we do forever? What
about children and pets?
For decades, Burke has been studying accounts of
survivors brought back from near death who lived to
tell of both heavenly and hellish experiences. While
not every detail of individual NDEs correlate with
Scripture, Burke shows how the common experiences
shared by thousands of survivors--including doctors,
college professors, bank presidents, people of all
ages and cultures, and even blind people--point to
the exhilarating picture of Heaven promised in the
Bible.
This thrilling journey into the afterlife will make
you feel like you've been there. It will forever
change the way you view the life to come and the way
you live your life today. You'll discover Heaven is
even
more amazing than you've ever imagined.

4. NDE of Pam Reynolds in 1991
This near-death experience claim of Pam Reynolds (an
American singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia) in
1991 at the age of 35 during a brain surgery has been
considered by some believers to be evidence of the
survival of consciousness after death, and of a life
after death.
Her experience is one of the most widely documented.
Reynolds was under close medical monitoring during the
entire operation. During the operation she had no
brain-wave activity and no blood flowing in her brain,
which rendered her clinically dead. She claimed to have
made several observations during the procedure which
later medical personnel reported to be accurate.
Reynolds reported that during the operation she heard a
sound like a natural 'D' that seemed to pull her out of
her body and allowed her to "float" above the operating
room and watch the doctors perform the operation.
Reynolds claims that during this time she felt "more
aware than normal" and her vision was more focused and
clearer than normal vision. Reynolds says she was able
to identify surgical instruments and hear conversations
between operating room staff.
Pam Reynolds claimed that during her near death
experience, she encountered her grandmother, an uncle,
other deceased relatives and people unknown to her.
According to Reynolds, the longer she was there, the
more she enjoyed it, but at some point in time she was
reminded by her relatives that that she had to go back.
She says her uncle brought her back to her body but she
didn't want to go so he pushed her in accompanied by a
sensation like that of jumping into ice water.
Her case was published in a book authored by Michael
Sabom.

scans, biopsies, etc. Her organs after NDE are
functioning normally, her appetite came back, and she
was made aware during the NDE that all of this would
happen. After having the NDE, she wrote the book

Story of Ben Breedlove
Ben Breedlove, 18, died on Christmas night (December 25,
2011) from a heart attack. He had three near-death
experiences over the course of his 18 years short life.
Just before he died in 2011, he recorded a video of his
life, his illness and near-death experiences. CBS News
reports that Breedlove was diagnosed with Hypertrophic
Cardiomyopathy (HCM) early in his life. HCM causes the
heart walls to thicken, making it difficult for the
heart to pump blood. In the first part of his video,
entitled "This Is My Story," uploaded on December 18,
2011, a few days before he died, the teenager told his
story holding up cards one by one with words written in
blue marker. The first card says: "Hello, I'm Ben
Breedlove. All my life I've had a heart condition."
He tells of his first near-death experience at the age
of four: "The first time I cheated death was when I was
four." He says he saw a bright light during his
near-death state: "I couldn't take my eyes off it, and I
couldn't help but smile. I had no worries at all, like
nothing else in the world mattered." After he died, his
story was published in a book titled:
"When
Will The Heaven Begin?"

Story of Rev. Don Piper
In
1989, Reverend Don Piper of Pasadena, California was
travelling in a car when it was crushed by an 18-wheeler
in a head-on crash. Paramedics declared him dead. He was
without a pulse, he says, for 90 minutes. "The
steering wheel impaled me in the chest and then the
car's roof collapsed on my head so there's just no way
you could survive this accident," he said.
However, he says that the experience he had before
rejoining the living could not be explained as anything
other than life after death or NDE. He says he remembers
music that was "beyond spectacular'" and aromas that
he'd never smelled before. His grandfather was there to
greet him alongside several other relatives who had died
before him. They all stood in front of a magnificent
gate with lights that were "pulsating with life," he
said.
Mr. Piper, who endured dozens of surgeries to fix his
bones, had to learn to walk again. A True Story of Death
and Life. He believes he was sent back to spread the
message that "heaven is a real place." His NDE, the
trauma he suffered in the car accident, and his
miraculous recovery was published in a book, The New

Story of a 4-Year-Old Boy "Colton"
Colton Burpo was a 4-year old son of a small town
Nebraska pastor. After discovering that Colton's
appendix had ruptured, in 2003, he was rushed to the
hospital. During emergency surgery, the 4-year-old
Colton slips from consciousness and enters heaven. He
survives and begins talking about being able to float
above the operating table and look down and see the
doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting
room. The family didn't know what to believe but soon
the evidence was clear.
The boy alleges to have met Jesus, God, his
great-grandfather, whom he had never met, and his older
sister who was lost in a miscarriage but nobody had told
him about it. Colton also made other extra-biblical
claims that he personally met "Jesus" riding a
rainbow-colored horse while he was sitting in Jesus' lap
and the angels sang songs to him. He also says that he
saw the Virgin Mary kneeling before the throne of God
and, at other times, standing beside Jesus.
Colton’s amazing NDE and his trip to heaven was
described in The New York Times best-selling Christian
book
"Heaven
is for Real (2010).”

10.
Oldest NDE On Record by
Plato
Plato's Republic is the Oldest NDE on Record,
written by the famed Greek philosopher Plato in 380 BC.
Plato's
'Republic' is one of the most important works of ancient
Greek philosophy, and one of the foundation pieces of
political science and political philosophy of that and
subsequent ages.
Although
it's called the "Myth of Er", the word "myth" in this
case means "word, speech, account," rather than the
modern meaning. The story begins as a man named Er dies
in battle. Ten days later, when the bodies of those who
died in the battle are collected, Er's body has not
decomposed. Two days later he revives on his
funeral-pyre and tells others of his journey into the
afterlife, including an account of reincarnation and the
celestial spheres of the astral plane.
The tale
introduces the idea that moral people are rewarded and
immoral people are punished after death.
The story includes an account of the cosmos and the
afterlife that greatly influenced religious,
philosophical, and scientific thought for many
centuries.
Plato was not only a great philosopher, but also a great
writer.

Waking Up in Heaven: A
True Story of Brokenness, Heaven, and Life Again

Story of
Crystal McVea
For most of Crystal’s broken life, she felt utterly
beyond the reach of God, and never had any faith in God
and was a serious skeptic. Suddenly on December 10,
2009, everything changed, Crystal McVea, a
thirty-two-year-old mother of four, stopped breathing.
Her face turned a dark shade of blue, then black. Her
mother screamed for help, and a nurse tried to revive
her. For nine minutes she was unconscious and unable to
breathe on her own. She has no memory of the panic and
the rushing nurses and the loud cries of “Code Blue.”
She simply remembers drifting off, and she remembers
waking up all of a sudden in heaven.
Her book
Waking Up in Heaven invites
readers along on a journey to witness the relentless
pursuit of God in a life that was shattered and
seemingly beyond hope, an awe-inspiring account of love,
forgiveness, and redemption, and the healing power of
God’s presence. And that is why I want to share my story
with the world. Because I was a skeptic and a sinner,
and I didn’t believe in God or in heaven. But God is
real. Heaven is real. And God’s love for us is the
realest thing of all.

Story of
Marvin Besteman
On April 28, 2006, as he
lay in his hospital bed in Ann Arbor, Michigan, visions
of celestial beauty were the last thing on Marv
Besteman's mind. He had just had surgery to remove a
rare pancreatic tumor. It was after visiting hours and
his family had left for the day. Alone and racked with
pain, Marv tossed and turned, wanting more than anything
else to simply sleep and escape the misery and
discomfort for a while. The retired banker, father, and
grandfather had no idea he was about to get a short
reprieve in the form of a Near Death Experience he never
could have imagined.
In his astounding NDE, Marv Besteman encountered angels
who accompanied him to the gate, his conversation
(argument, really) with St. Peter, and his recognition
of friends and family members who touched his life. His
story offers peace, comfort, and encouragement to those
who have lost loved ones and gives security and solace
to those who are grieving, dying, or wonder about the
afterlife. Marv believed God sent him back to earth to
complete and fulfill this mission. However Marv returned
to heaven in January 2012. He was born in 1934.
His NDE is described in the book
"Marv
Besteman: My Journey to Heaven."

Near-Death Experiences as
Evidence for the Existence of God and Heaven: A Brief
Introduction in Plain Language Paperback – November 22,
2012, Price: $9.44 |
13. God & Heaven Exist: NDEs Are The Evidence
Reports of near-death experiences (NDEs) are flooding
the media with books, articles and interviews. People
describe hovering over their bodies, details of their
surgeries, talking with deceased relatives, and
reviewing their lives in vivid detail, often while their
brains should be incapable of producing rational thought
or memories.
While the accounts are no doubt interesting, do they
provide any solid evidence for the afterlife and the
existence of God? Miller (the author) argues, in
nontechnical and engaging prose, that it does indeed. He
began his study doubting that NDEs provided such
evidence, but found himself convinced by the weight of
the evidence. In the multiple award-winning book, the
reader will explore: The common naturalistic
explanations for NDEs, Evidence that NDEs point to God
and heaven, and
The results of 35 years of research into NDEs by doctors
and other professionals, fully documented for those who
want to study further.

Return From Heaven:
Beloved
Relatives Reincarnated Within The Family
What if you could see and recognize a loved one
reincarnated into your own family and you recognized
him/her from the birth marks or characteristics of
his/her habits, mannerism and/or behavior. What if you
knew that your loved one already passed away to heaven,
but is actually living again with a new body within your
own family.
It is
possible, says Carol Bowman, author of Children’s Past
Lives and a pioneer in reincarnation studies.
Based on in-depth research and direct observation of
very young children, she shows in this groundbreaking
book how common it is for beloved relatives to
reincarnate into the same family. Typical families share
how their children -- some as young as two and still in
diapers -- speak spontaneously of intimate details from
the lives of a family member they never knew. These true
stories shed new light on age-old questions of family
relationships: Do we choose our parents? What
relationships survive death? What happens to the soul
after a miscarriage or abortion? Bowman offers hope for
anyone who has lost a beloved relative and longs to be
reunited again. For more details, read the book from

16. Near Death Experience of Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor was interviewed by Larry King on CNN's
Larry King Live and also by ABC News. Famous actress
Elizabeth Taylor spoke about her experience of dying on
the operating table while undergoing surgery, and of
passing through a tunnel towards a brilliant white light
(White Sun she said).Ms Taylor said that while she was
pronounced clinically dead, she had encountered the
spirit of her third ex-husband Michael Todd who was
killed in a plane crash in 1958, whom she referred to as
her great love. She finds it very hard to talk about,
actually, because it sounds so corny. It happened in the
late '50s. She had wanted to stay with Todd, she said,
but he had told her that she should get back to her life
as she had work and life ahead of her, and she insisted
that her ex-husband pushed her to go back. Following her
resuscitation, the eleven-person medical team, including
doctors, nurses, others, witnessed Ms. Taylor's
testimonial of this event.
She'd been gone into NDE for about five minutes. The
medical team had given up any hope, declared her dead
and put her death notice on the wall. She shared this
with people that were in the next room. Then after that
she told another group of friends, and sounded "Wow" or
really screwy. She then realized that she'd better keep
quiet about telling NDE story to others.

Science and the Afterlife
Experience: Evidence for the Immortality of
Consciousness Paperback–August 22, 2012 by Chris Carter
(Author),
Price: $20.95 |
17. Science and the Afterlife Experience:
Evidence for the
Immortality of Consciousness
The author "Chris Carter" of this book “Science
and The Afterlife Experience”
examines 125 years of scientific research into
reincarnation, apparitions, and communication with the
dead showing these phenomena are real.
Reveals the existence of higher planes of consciousness
where the souls of the dead can choose to advance or
manifest once again on Earth. Explains how these
findings have been ignored and denied because they are
incompatible with materialist doctrines.
“Scientists and philosophers who have seriously studied
the phenomenon of mediumship have concluded that there
are only two hypotheses that, if true, would account for
all the observed empirical data: either (i) human
consciousness survives the death of its body or (ii)
human consciousness possesses extraordinary abilities
known as super–ESP. In Science and the Afterlife
Experience, Chris Carter presents the data supporting
survival with remarkable clarity and shows that the
so–called “super–ESP” hypothesis is pseudo–science, and
that its “purpose” is not to advance knowledge but
rather to block an otherwise straight–forward inference
from empirical data to the hypothesis of survival.

The Science of Life After
Death: New Research Shows Human Consciousness Lives on
Paperback – August 15, 2009
by Stephen Hawley Martin (Author), Price: $24.11
|
18. The Science of Life After Death:
New Research Shows Human
Consciousness Lives On
A lengthy and exhaustive study by the University of
Virginia Medical School clearly indicates consciousness
continues after death in at least some cases, if not
all. This particular study, begun in 1961 and continuing
today. Over the years, more than 2600 of the cases were
investigated. Many children claimed to have been in
previous lives. Birthmarks and birth defects found on
these children, such as missing fingers, hands or limbs,
also frequently have been found to correspond to fatal
wounds received in the previous life as recorded in
autopsy reports.
Research by the Windbridge Institute strongly indicates
it may be possible for living loved ones to get in touch
with deceased loved ones.
Stephen Martin invites the reader into his book to learn
more about the life after death phenomenon. However this
book requires an open mind. There are many theories
presented that are not popular, while others are widely
popular. There is discussion of ESP, Out of Body
Experiences (OBE), use of mediums to connect with those
who have gone on, and more.

19. The Handbook of Near-Death
Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation
Experts from around the world share the history and
current state of near-death experience (NDE) knowledge.
They explore controversies in the field, offer stories
from their research, and express their hopes for the
future of investigation into this fascinating
phenomenon.
As modern medical techniques for resuscitation advance,
NDEs are more frequently reported. These include more
than the popular notions of moving through a tunnel,
seeing a light, meeting deceased relatives greeting, and
conversing with God. They also include people, once
revived, knowing things their knowledge of which can't
currently be explained. As The Handbook of Near-Death
Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation makes
clear, great controversy exists in the medical and
psychological fields concerning NDEs. Are they caused by
physiological changes in the brain, or are they
biological reactions to oxygen loss or impending death?
Are they a product of changing states of consciousness?
Or are they caused by something else altogether? All of
these ideas and more are discussed in this unique and
comprehensive volume,
"The
Handbook of Near-Death Experiences."

Quantum Physics, Near
Death Experiences, Eternal Consciousness, Religion, and
the Human Soul Paperback – January 1, 2012
by William Joseph Bray (Author),
Price: $19.77 |
20.
Quantum Physics, Near Death Experiences,
Eternal
Consciousness, Religion, and the Human Soul
William
Joseph Bray, creates this book around the double-slit
experiment that proved that matter and energy can
display characteristics of both waves and particles. The
light (wave) when measured, collapses into particle
(photon), which is the same than saying that
consciousness would be like the light-wave eternal
infinite that by observing, collapses into finite
particles. Matter would only exist when observed by
consciousness, while consciousness remains everywhere,
at all times, infinite and eternal. This is derived from
a proven experiment made by precise physics. That is why
when we are confined to the collapsed finite universe,
which we observe from our consciousness, we live with
limited perceptions in measured time and space. But when
we abandon the collapsed universe and return to our
infinite eternal consciousness, past, present and future
are simultaneous but not subsequent.
The author knows this because he lived it, through his
many near-death experiences.
So we have here a
unique opportunity to be in touch with a physicist, who
at the sametime has "traveled" to the "other world" and
returned, to offer us his experience, and analyze it
with his knowledge as a physicist and scientist. He also
teaches us methods of his design to heal.

Dr.
Kenneth Ring's Research
Near
Death Experience (NDE)
|

 |
Biography of Dr. Kenneth Ring:
Kenneth Ring, PhD is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the
University of Connecticut and co-founder and Past President of the
International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS). He is one of
the world's chief authorities on near-death experiences. He was the
first to offer scientific validation for these remarkable experiences
after they had been anecdotally described by Elizabeth Kübler-Ross and
Raymond Moody. Dr. Ring is also the author of several books about
near-death experiences including Life at Death (1980), Heading Toward
Omega (1984), The Omega Project (1992), and most recently, Lessons
from the Light and (with Sharon Cooper) the forthcoming Near-Death and
Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind. Kenneth Ring is retired from the
NDE field since 1998.
Dr. Ken Ring read Raymond Moody's book, Life
After Life, and was inspired by it.
Dr. Ken Ring confirmed the research findings of Dr. Raymond Moody, and
replicated the NDE research of Dr. Raymond Moody.
However, he felt that a
more scientifically structured study would strengthen Moody's
findings.
He sought out 102
near-death survivors in course of 20 years for his research.
Dr. Ken
Ring's Research Conclusions are Listed Below:
1.
NDEs happen to people of all races, genders, ages,
education, marital status, and social class.
2.
Religious orientation is not a factor.
3.
People are convinced of the reality of their NDE.
4. Drugs do not appear to be a factor.
5.
NDEs are not hallucinations.
6.
NDEs often involve unparalleled feelings.
7.
People lose their fear of death and appreciate life more after having
an NDE.
8.
People's lives are transformed positively after having an NDE.
Blind People
Were Able to See During NDE:
Dreams, hallucinations, or illusions are normally either extensions
of reality or distortions of reality. However, what people explain
about the NDE is that it is beyond reality as we know it,
it
is
the experience of another dimension. The questions that these
researchers are trying to answer by saying that NDErs are mixing
dream with reality has already been answers by Dr. Kenneth Ring. He
wanted to find out whether NDEs where like dreams and did a study
with 31 blind people, of which 14 where blind from birth. 80% where
able to see for the very first time in their NDE. They were able to
describe the scenes as if they were not blind.
What is important
here is that blind people do not see in their dreams, only touch,
smell, feel, etc. so being able to see during their experience
clearly suggests that the NDE is unlike the dream state.
The physicist, David Bohm, said that the energy of the universe is not
a neutral energy but an energy of love, and the near-death experience
returns from his or her encounter with death, not just to confirm
Bohm's intuition but to communicate it to others. This is the message
that those who have already died have to give to those who are about
to die.

Mr. Robert/Bob Monroe's Research
Out of the
Body Experience
Life in
the Higher Levels of Consciousness
Scientists From
Focus 27 Level May Soon Communicate with Humans
|
 |
Biography of Mr. Robert A Monroe
Mr.
Robert Allan Monroe
(October 30, 1915–March 17, 1995)
Mr.
Robert Monroe was a pioneer in consciousness research. He founded The
Monroe Institute (TMI) and developed the Hemi-Sync sound system, which
are used to put you in altered states of consciousness so that you are
able to have out-of-body experiences (OBE) and experience levels of
consciousness that we do not normally experience. His books describe
his experiences in the astral/spirit worlds. Many people (such as Mr.
Bruce Moen) who have
become proficient at astral projection and Afterlife are now using their skills to
rescue earthbound spirits (ghosts or confused souls) and help them
to understand that they are physically dead and that they need to move
on to the next level of consciousness.
Mr. Monroe was born
in Lexington, Kentucky
in 1915.
His mother was a medical doctor and his father was a college
professor. He began formal school when he was 4-year-old in
Lexington, Kentucky. He completed his academic history at Ohio State
University where he studied pre-med, engineering, arts and sciences.
He
earned his Bachelor's degree BA in Engineering from Ohio State
University in 1937. Upon graduation, Mr. Monroe worked as a writer
and director at two Ohio radio stations. Two years later he moved to
New York and expanded his broadcasting career, producing and
directing weekly radio programs and eventually forming his own radio
production company. During the 1950s his company was producing 28
radio shows per month, including the popular Take a Number
and Meet Your Match quiz shows. At this time Mr. Monroe became
well known as a composer of music for radio, television, and motion
pictures.
He was a very
down-to-earth rational and had no interest or experience in anything
esoteric.
He
also served as vice president and member of the board of directors
for the Mutual Broadcasting System network, was listed in Who's
Who in America, and was publicized in magazine and newspaper
articles on flying and radio production. Building on this success,
Mr. Monroe's production company acquired several radio stations in
North Carolina and Virginia, and later moved into developing cable
television systems.
In 1958 Mr. Robert
Monroe was working with sound production when he found that altered
states may be induced by sound. He was his own main subject
experimenting with altered states induced by sound, and this work
may have contributed to his episodes of out-of-body experiences. These
led to tests by psi researcher Mr. Charles Tart and later to Mr. Monroe's
first book, "Journeys Out of the Body."
Mr. Robert Monroe's
First Out o the Body Experience
Spontaneously, in 1950s, one night he had what at first appeared to be a very
strange dream. In this “dream” he found himself floating above his
physical body while looking down on his sleeping body below. He got
such a fright that he literally “swam” his way back to his physical
body & almost immediately was inside it again.
This was Bob Monroe's
first out-of-body experience. This experience began to reoccur so
often that he thought that he must be seriously ill, perhaps with a
brain tumor. These Out-of-Body Experiences were always preceded by
a strange vibration sensation that would begin at the feet and work
it's way up his body. As he was unable to control these sensations
and experiences he became convinced that he was going to die. He
visited numerous doctors and had many tests carried out on him.
These tests proved nothing out of the ordinary and showed that there
was nothing wrong with him.
Eventually, while
discussing these experiences with a friend, the friend excitedly
informed Mr. Monroe that what he was experiencing sounded like Astral
Travel. He told him that only Mystics, Yogis and Shamans of the East
had the ability to leave their physical bodies temporarily to
achieve indescribable mystical insights. Understandably, Bob
certainly did not share his friend’s enthusiasm, but finally he had
some explanation that at least made some sense. Later, he decided to
experiment and see to what use he could put his new talents.
In the 1950s,
Mr. Monroe began studying what happens to consciousness while the
body is asleep. His first experiments consisted of listening to
tapes that contained various types and combinations of sounds. He
also experimented with sounds and binaural frequencies to assist the
learning process during sleep. While testing the technology (which
became Hemi-Sync) it triggered his first out-of-body
experience. This moment was also the catalyst for the metaphysical chapter
in his life.
Throughout the next 20 years Mr. Monroe continued to explore, research,
and teach others about expanded states of human consciousness and
practical methods of enhancing human potential. He developed a
series of multi-day workshops that enable participants to personally
experience realms beyond physical time-space reality, built a campus
for teaching and research, and created a portfolio of audio
exercises designed to focus attention, reduce stress, improve
meditation, enhance sleep, and manage pain among other applications.
Mr. Robert
Monroe's Journeys into the Afterlife
In1971,
Mr. Monroe published his first book “Journeys Out of the Body,”
which is credited with popularizing
the term "Out-of-Body Experience (OBE)".
His remarkable voyages of discovery in the non-physical states of
existence are documented in his three books:
1. Journeys Out of the Body (1971)
2. Far Journeys (1985)
3.
Ultimate
Journey
(1994)
In 1978, Mr. Robert Monroe
decided to set up a research organization called
The
Monroe Institute
(TMI),
which carried on his work until and after his death.
Initially this organization was dedicated to studying this strange
phenomenon (Out of Body Experience and Journeys to Afterlife) that
was occurring to him. It later evolved its scope into a potent
research organization for studying and experimenting with human
consciousness of the entire human race.
THE MONROE INSTITUTE (TMI)
http://www.monroeinstitute.org
The
world's leading education center for the study of human
consciousness.
For over 50 years the Monroe Institute
has been welcoming consciousness explorers from all over the world.
Our nondogmatic experiential approach allows you to pursue your own
personal exploration of human consciousness. Monroe programs include
the use of Monroe Sound Science along with exercises to target
specific states of consciousness.
Mr. Monroe died in 1995, at the age of 80. His legacy
continues today and has touched the lives of literally millions of
people all around the world.
FOCUS LEVELS
Focus levels
is a concept created by Mr. Robert Monroe and the
The Monroe Institute.
It is supposed to define the various planes of the afterlife and/or
the various levels of consciousness. The
afterlife
is believed to be organized by these levels and humans on earth are
believed to be able to experience these levels. The concept of focus
levels is used by several others, including
Mr. Bruce Moen.
The levels are numbered, with focus level 1 being Earth and higher
levels being more and more spiritual by nature.
Focus Levels 1 to 22: Mainly
inhabited by people in physical existence.
Focus Levels 23 to 27: Inhabited by people
(non-physical-beings) afterlife.
Through mapping these different focus states or levels of
consciousness, we are in fact mapping the territory of the
afterlife. A fair-minded person's goal should be to inhabit in Focus
27.
FOCUS LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS (ACCORDING TO ROBERT
MONROE)
|
 |
Focus Level |
Description/Explanation |
Focus 1 (C1) |
C1 Consciousness or Earth. Full Physical Waking
Consciousness. The level of awareness in which most
people spend most of their daily, normal, waking lives.
The everyday, ordinary reality of the physical world in
which we live.
|
Focus 3 |
Basic Hemi-Sync.
The first level where a participant's first exposure to
the concept and technology of Hemi-Sync starts to have
an effect on the person.
|
Focus 10 |
Mind Awake & Body Asleep. The physical body sleeps and
the mind is awake and alert.
Consciousness is fully retained without dependence upon
signals from the physical body. Conceptual tools are
developed that the participant may use to reduce anxiety
and tension, for healing, for remote viewing and for
establishing resonance with other individuals. In Focus
10, much like the dream state, we learn to think in
images rather than in words.
|
Focus 12 |
Expanded Awareness. The awareness is expanded beyond the
limits of the physical body.
Focus 12
has many different facets, including: exploring
nonphysical realities, decision making, problem solving
and enhanced creative expression.
|
Focus 15 |
No Time exists. The awareness is expanded beyond time
and place. The
state of "No Time" is a level of consciousness which
opens avenues of the mind that offer vast opportunities
for self exploration beyond the constraints of time and
place.
|
Focus 21 |
Other Energy Systems. The awareness is expanded to
realities and energy systems beyond normal time, space
and physical matter.
|
Focus 22 |
At this level people are unconscious or partly
conscious. People in coma, suffering from delirium or
dementia, under the influence of drugs or alcohol;
patients who are anesthetized or comatose. This level is
chaotic, people are confused and very difficult to
communicate with.
|
The levels above are
mainly inhabited by people in physical existence.
At the levels below, there are no physical beings.
|
Focus 23 |
In Focus
23, the human inhabitants tend to be those no longer
physically alive who have become "stuck" for one reason
or another. Often they are confused about or unaware of
their death. Many here attempt to maintain contact with
the physical world around familiar people or places.
These are the ones we call
ghosts. Focus 23
inhabitants are stuck because they are unable to leave
through their own resources. The range of their
free-will choices is extremely narrow. They are
typically alone and completely isolated from
communication with other humans. This can occur through
the circumstances of their death or habitual patterns of
thinking prior to death.
|
Focus 24 Focus 25 Focus 26
Belief System |
The Belief
System Territories Inhabitants of The Belief System Territories are
attracted to specific locations by Afterlife beliefs
they held while physically alive. Every set of Afterlife
beliefs held by humans at any time has a specific
location with these Focus levels. In a sense, Belief
System Territory inhabitants are stuck like those in
Focus 23. The difference is that they are not isolated
from contact with others. All inhabitants of a specific
Territory are in contact with all others sharing their
beliefs. Contact with anyone holding conflicting beliefs
is severely limited. Free will choices here are
restricted to only those compatible with the prevailing
beliefs. Some of these areas look like Heavens, some
look like Hells. Each one is rigidly structured around
the beliefs held by the inhabitants. It is extremely difficult to move people from this area
to areas of greater free will choice.
|
Focus 27
Most Important
Afterlife Area |
Focus 27 is the Afterlife
Area
This is the greatest "free-will" choice for its inhabitants.
It's an area created by humans and often resembles
physical earth environments. Contact and communication
is open between all inhabitants. Many people living in
Focus 27 provide assistance to new arrivals in their
adjustment to living in the Afterlife. It is a highly
organized and structured area. There are Centers of
activity here providing for the needs of human beings in
their continuing development in the Afterlife. In my
explorations, there are Centers for: Education, Life
Review, Health and Rejuvenation, Planning, Scheduling,
Rehabilitation, Humor, and many others. These Centers
also coordinate activities in the physical world,
through incarnations, to assist in human development.

Electronic
Communication with Afterlife
Although it may sound remarkable,
there are scientists working in Focus 27 level who are in
communication with those in physical life.
Some of these scientists in Focus 27 are currently working on projects
that will enable two-way communication between those who are
physically alive and those who have died, using physical life
technology. Although this may appear astounding, much progress has
been made. Numerous groups
around the world have been receiving messages on computers, audio
tape, telephone and even television. Although it may be difficult for
you to believe that such things are actually possible, you will hear a
lot more about this technology over the next decade or over the next
few years.
About Reincarnation
Whatever activity we choose on arriving in Focus 27, there may comes a
point where we decide to return to physical life, through
reincarnation, in order to grow more fully or help others grow or
even bring a wonderful new invention into physical reality.
Reincarnation was the central idea of Monroe's philosophy, which
he said he learned over decades of astral travel. Mr. Monroe taught
that the self that we know with this physical life is merely a fragment of the "Total Self."
The "Total Self" of each individual represents a cluster of many
fragments within, and each fragment is a being that lives many lifetimes.
P.S.: This information matches with the findings of Dr. Michael
Newton.

Robert Monroe's
Technique For Triggering an OBE:
|
|
There are a wide variety of psychic and spiritual states that can
result from leaving the body consciously. The traveler can find
himself or herself in either formed states (those containing
objects) or amorphous states when leaving the body in this way.
One type of conscious transition occurs when the traveler simply
disconnects the inner spiritual self from the physical body, and
moves out and away from the physical body consciously. This
disconnection happens frequently in near-death experience where the
injured person moves a short distance from the physical body and
observes it.
Books of Mr. Robert A Monroe
Mr. Robert Monroe chronicled his OBEs in the following 3 best-selling
books:
In his 1st book
Journeys Out of the Body (1971),
Mr. Robert
Monroe's experiences are intriguing. He writes about mystical
experiences such as "lucid dreams" or "astral projections" as if
they could really be journeys out of the body in THIS world, almost
as if he were a ghost. Occultists would call this the etheral body.
For example, he writes that he obtained knowledge of things in the
physical world, that he couldn't have possibly known if his
experiences didn't actually take him to real places. Mr. Monroe
describes his vibrations as the first step toward an out of body
experience.
In his 2nd book
Far Journeys (1985), Mr. Robert Monroe explains clearly about
non-local
reality, techniques for OBE's and how a very normal person reacts to
and processes these odd occurrences, and the readers can learn a lot
about how the author gained much insight from his out-of-body travels.
Once you master the OBE, you become psychic, telepathic and the body
is less likely to suffer physical trauma as a result of accidents.
Mr. Monroe clearly describes two incidents where he fell down a steep
flight of stairs head first and landed smack on his head both times.
However, he said that his head touched the ground gently, like a
feather, while his legs remained dangling in the air. His legs then
gently draped down onto the stairs and he suffered no pain and
developed no bruises.
In his 3rd book
Ultimate Journey (1994),
Mr. Robert Monroe's weird and wonderful
adventures on other planes of reality were described. That book, which
has sold more than a million copies, helped cement the concept of
astral travel into the American psyche and made the out-of-body
experience (OBE) a household word. Mr. Monroe not only helped others
understand this state of being, but through his research on binaural
beats and his development of the technology known as Hemi-Sync, he
made the OBE accessible through programs at The Monroe Institute (TMI),
which is attended by thousands of people each year. However, Mr. Monroe
made consciousness research more than an esoteric thrill ride. He put
his technology to practical use by creating frequencies that have
helped people with everything from meditation and learning, to
insomnia, quitting smoking, and pain control.
Out of
the Body
Experience by Robert A Monroe
|
When an
OBE is triggered, your nonphysical body is like a kite
on an invisible cord—at
the other end of the invisible cord is your physical
body. You can go anywhere in any time, past, present, or
future via OBEs. You can go directly to any chosen place
and observe what is there in detail and what is going
on. At your target site you can move around the area to
observe from different perspectives. The only problem is
that you cannot pickup physical objects, because your
hand goes right through them.
You can go anywhere on Earth, or in it or through it.
You can move outward and play around the moon and the
entire solar system. Thus we saw and knew the other side
of the moon even before NASA probes took their pictures.
It was the same with Mars, where we were looking for
artifacts such as buildings or structures that might
indicate some form of intelligent life. Getting back to
the physical body is
no problem—it
can happen within a blink of an eye. The explorer simply has to focus on his
physical body. There is no speed of light limitation.

Biography of Mr. Bruce Moen
Mr. Bruce Moen lives
in Denver, Colorado, USA. He is a mechanical engineer, an
engineering consultant in his own firm, turned afterlife explorer,
author and international lecturer or teacher of Afterlife knowledge.
Since childhood Mr. Moen has been curious about where would we go
when we die. He learned to explore Afterlife by following that
curiosity. It led him to the Lifeline program in 1992 at The
Monroe Institute (TMI) in Faber, Virginia, founded by out of
body explorer and author Mr. Robert A. Monroe, where he first
learned to explore the afterlife. After learning to explore the afterlife for
nearly four years he proved to himself we continue to exist beyond
death. He teaches workshops in which he shares his experiences and
teaches the simple techniques he has developed that any one can use
to explore our afterlife on their own. He claims to be able to
explore the afterlife and to do retrievals. Doing retrievals means
making contact with people who are lost or stuck after death with
the purpose of helping them out of their isolation and back into the
heavens or other Focus levels. His techniques are based on the
Lifeline program of Mr. Robert Monroe.
Mr.
Bruce Moen began as a student of Mr. Robert Monroe, but has
developed the process of mentally exploring through projection in
such a manner as to frequently override the need for sound wave
support such as Hemi-Sync.
Mr. Bruce Moen is a lot like any common human being. He has
never had a near-death experience, nor does he claim any special
psychic gift or ability. Yet, he has learned to do some special
techniques that other people don’t have. He has freed "lost souls"
from their isolated, sometimes terrifying post-death existence;
helped them regain free will choice over their own destiny; brought
comfort to those left behind when a loved one dies; moved earthbound
ghosts to their place in the Afterlife; verifiably explored
nonphysical human consciousness and other realities.
Afterlife exploration has profoundly changed his life. It has taught
him what Love is and has shown him the purpose of his life. Mr.
Moen's work is a contribution to consciousness studies because of
the analysis of his thought patterns while in the mental state
needed for the assumed afterlife explorations. He uses a two-step
process: perception followed by interpretation. This process is
based on the assumed ability to perceive beyond the material world
by using curiosity and imagination to move through the various focus
levels
Mr. Moen has also stated that he is working on an "Afterlife
Communication Device," similar to telephone, which will enable
direct communication with the deceased without the need for special
esoteric knowledge or techniques.
After several years of perfecting the perceptual skills required, it
is his hope others can use what he has learned to develop them more
quickly. "The most important thing I discovered is that human beings
with curiosity can learn to explore the Afterlife and find the truth
for themselves," Mr. Moen says.
He has written several books about this subject and runs 10 to 15
international
workshops
annually, teaching participants how to perform those retrievals.
He is the author of Voyages Into the Unknown, Voyage Beyond Doubt,
Voyages Into the Afterlife, and Voyage to Curiosity’s Father that
recount his experiences.
How Mr. Bruce Moen Was
Influenced?
a.
While attending the Lifeline training course in The Monroe
Institute, Mr. Moen had a close contact with one of his tutors. Mr.
Moen and his tutor began partnered-exploring as a tutorial to gain
some knowledge and insight. In this experiment, they met nonphysically
and carried out planned-retrievals and other activities. After
returning to the physical body, they recorded their experiences in
their journals and compared notes over the telephone the following
day. The descriptions in their notes were found to be exactly the
same experiences. Partnered-exploring is a powerful,
confidence-building technique. During this time, Mr. Moen’s
exploring began to expand beyond retrievals and encountered both
ghosts and nonphysical beings in the afterlife territories.
b. After Mr. Monroe died and left his physical body, Mr. Moen
successfully contacted Mr. Monroe—accompanied by his wife (Mrs.
Nancy Penn Monroe)—during one of his
solo nonphysical outings and in that meeting, Mr. Monroe offered
to assist him in improving his perceptual skills. After this
encounter with Mr. Monroe in the nonphysical territory, his life changed
forever and his perception greatly improved. Exploration after these
experiences led access to different levels of consciousness and
contacts beyond anything he could ever have imagined. Mr. Moen began
to understand the power of imagination, the meaning of Pure
Unconditional Love, and the purpose of his own physical existence.
Bruce Moen's Path to Truth |
|
An
Example of Bruce Moen's Path to Truth
Jane, a workshop participant of Mr. Bruce Moen, asked
a question about how could she find a way to open a window of
opportunity concerning the afterlife. Mr. Moen then suggested Jane
that she should shift her awareness to placing intent consciousness,
and should express her desire to have an experience that would
conflict with her afterlife beliefs. Unbeknownst to Mr. Bruce Moen,
his workshop participant Jane found a quiet place during workshop
break, and practiced the affirmation “I DESIRE TO HAVE AN EXPERIENCE
THAT WILL CONFLICT WITH MY BELIEFS ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE.” She may
have focused on this affirmation with great intent and may have
already programmed her subconscious mind with this affirmation
without knowing what the outcome could be. Two weeks after the
workshop, Jane emailed Mr. Bruce Moen describing her startling
experience:
Jane had suddenly awakened during the night and had seen a cloud of
lighted fog floating in her bedroom doorway. As she focused her
attention on the cloud, it transformed into an apparition of her
deceased mother-in-law, Nadine. During their subsequent conversation
Jane asked Nadine to show, tell or give her something that would
prove she was really talking to a dead person. Nadine said that she
had left something for her son, Jane’s husband, at the hospital
where she worked as a nurse before her death. Nadine suggested Jane
to call the hospital to find out what it was.
The next day Jane pressured her husband to call the hospital and
find out what was left for him in that hospital that her husband was
not aware of. It took a little while and digging into the hospital
records to find out the truth about his mother’s activities and
personal matters. Finally the hospital staff discovered that his
mother Nadine had been paying into an annuity for him, in his name,
for several years. No one in the family knew that this annuity
existed as an asset of his mother until Jane’s husband, also the
Nadine’s son, phoned and asked the hospital staff to launch a
thorough search concerning Nadine’s personal and financial
activities. From this startling experience, Jane convinced that she
had gotten the information from Nadine—who
was known to be deceased.
It is now clear
to Jane that she communicated with a person know to be deceased,
gathered some information from that person that was not known to her
previously, and verified that that information was true, accurate
and real in this world where she is living. This investigation gave
Jane the evidence that the person, Nadine, continued to exist beyond
physical death. Since this incident, Jane’s perception of and
ability to communicate with those in our afterlife had greatly
improved. She had an experience that conflicted with her afterlife
beliefs and accepted that experience is real, thus removing any
blockages in her beliefs and gaining confidence on the existence of
afterlife.

The
Concept of the HIGHER SELF (Who I Truly Am?)
According To Mr. Bruce Moen
|
1.gif)
|
Mr. Bruce Moen discovered the true appearance of his
own nonphysical form of true SELF, as it came to him
in a waking vision in 1974. The large disk-shaped
graphic shown on right-hand side with round light
spots arranged in concentric circles represents the
true “Total Self” of an individual. Some people call
it the Total Self,
Higher Self,
Greater Self
or Oversoul.
Each light spot of the concentric circles on the
disk represents one integral fragment of the Total
Self. The Total Self is made of many integral
fragments, each integral fragment being one light
spot. For example Mr. Bruce Moen believed that he,
with his physical body on the planet Earth now on
the left side of the graphic, represents one light
spot of that disk shaped Total Self.
Mr. Moen with his physical body now living on the
planet Earth is connected to his Total Self by means
of a nonphysical cord that looks like a multi-strand
fiber optic cable as shown in the graphic.
Information passes through this nonphysical cord
between himself and his Disk-shaped Total Self,
giving the Disk members the awareness of his
activities, and vice versa as long he learns how to
communicate with his Total Self.
Mr. Moen also believed from the knowledge he gained
from his out-of-body experiences that he was
originally created with the nonphysical material of
his Total Self, allocating a unique personality and
identity. Mr. Moen knew that he already incarnated
many times on the planet Earth in order to explore,
learn and obtain complete wisdom contributing his
efforts to the evolution his Total Self. He will
incarnate many more times until his Total Self
reaches immortality.
Mr. Moen further believed that his Total Self was
created in the same manner by the Ultimate Creator.
His Total Self would one day return to the Ultimate
Creator once the purification process of the Total
Self is complete and ready.

An out-of-body experience (OOBE or OBE) is defined as an event in
which the experiencer seems to perceive some portion of some
environment which could not possibly be perceived from where his
physical body is known to be at the time; and knows at the time
that he is not dreaming or fantasizing. The experiencer seems to
possess his normal consciousness at the time, and even though he may
reason that this cannot be happening, he will feel all his normal
critical faculties to be present, and so knows he is not dreaming.
Further, he will not decide after awakening that this was a dream.
How then do we understand this strange phenomenon?
OBEs are a universal human experience, not in the sense that they
happen to large numbers of people, but in that they have happened
all through recorded history, and there are marked similarities in
the experience among people who are otherwise extremely different in
terms of cultural background. The OBE is generally a
once-in-a-lifetime experience, seemingly experienced by “accident.”
Illnesses sometimes bring it about, especially illnesses which are
almost fatal. Great emotional stress sometimes brings it about. In
many cases, it simply happens during sleep without our having any
idea of what might have caused it. In very rare instances it seems
to have been brought on by a deliberate attempt.
The experience of an OBE is usually one of the most profound
experiences of a person’s life, and radically alters his beliefs.
This is usually expressed as, “I no longer believe in
survival of death or an immortal soul, I know that I will
survive death.” The person feels that he has directly experienced
being alive and conscious without his physical body, and therefore
knows that he possesses some kind of soul that will survive bodily
death. This does not logically follow, for even if the OBE is more
than just an interesting dream or hallucination, it was still
occurring while the physical body was alive and functioning and
therefore may depend on the physical body. This argument, however,
makes no impression on those who have actually had an OBE.
The OBE is generally extremely joyful to those who have it.
Approximately 90 and 95 percent of the people who have this
experience are very glad it occurred and find it joyful, while 5
percent are very frightened by it, for the only way they can
interpret it, while it is happening, is that they are dying. Later
reactions of the person as he attempts to interpret his OBE can be
rather negative, however.
In some instances of OBEs the description of what was happening at a
distant place is correct and more accurate than we would expect by
coincidence. Not the majority, by any means, but some. To explain
these we must postulate either that the “hallucinatory” experience
of the OBE was combined with the operation of ESP, or that in some
sense the person really was “there.” The OBE then becomes very real
indeed.

an internationally renowned psychic, teacher, and the author
Mary T. Browne's connection to spirit world is very inspiring. She had her first clairvoyant experience at the age of
seven. For more than 30 years since then, her visions and her
communications from many dead relatives, friends, her clients who
had near-death experiences and from wise beings (teachers) who revealed
her
the true descriptions and operations of spirit worlds and heavens
where we go after we die. Her insight came from her sacred gifts of
psychic powers, clairvoyance and clairaudience.
What Happens When We Die?
Physical death (passing over) is our passport to a new spirit realm.
Death is birth into the realm of the spirit. At the time of death, the spirit is released from the physical
suitcase. A silver cord attaches the physical body to the astral
body much like an umbilical cord connects a baby in the womb to its
mother. When we die, the cord between physical body and astral body
breaks. In case of a near death experience the cord is not severed
as the physical body still remains connected with astral body but
the spirit body is released partially to enter the spirit world. The
spirit floats above the physical body and observes what is happening
around. Clients often reported that they had near death experiences
when they had a surgery or a serious automobile accident. When
spirit is partially released, they can still hear people trying to
help them. And then they pass through a tunnel and at the end of the
tunnel a beautiful, very peaceful and bright light appears making
the way clear and accessible. At the
end of the tunnel, relatives, loved ones and friends from the spirit world stand
there waiting to greet and talk. Those who had near death
experiences were told by
the
being of light
that it is not yet their time to pass on, and that they must return
to the physical body and complete their earthly incarnation as there
is still a lot to learn and much work to be done on the planet earth. Some clients
reported that after passing the tunnel, they were allowed to visit
and view parts of the spirit world. After visiting the spirit realm,
they gain a new sense of freedom
because their fear of death is gone.
They realize that the
purpose of our life on earth is to learn, to grow, to improve, to
evolve fully and to serve others.
No Fear When
You Die! |
At the moment of death, your spirit begins to leave your
body and you will see someone standing in shadow,
extending a hand to help you cross the border. It will
be a clear image of a relative or loved one whom you can
easily recognize. In the rare cases when no one close to
you has been there already passed on, a spirit helper
trained in assisting the people to make the transition
will be there to help you.
Don't Panic Be Happy! |
 |
Spirit World
The spirit
world is a place of harmony. It is a realm of beauty, light, art,
music, literature, and friendship. We do love beyond the grave, and
we will be reunited with our loved ones in the spirit world. Those
touching reunions with the loved ones in the spirit world are filled
with overwhelming joy of spiritual vibrations.
We arrive into the spirit world in an appropriate place we have earned based on
our earthly actions, our character and life review. We must work through our
physical and emotional problems on earth. Your character does not
disintegrate with your physical body.
You arrive into the spirit
world the same person you were when you left your physical body.
So it is
wise to spend our time on earth growing as much as possible.
Beware of Your
Character
Your
character is built in the physical realm. You are responsible for
your own character. The soul development
occurs in the physical world. Your free will can either raise you up
or hold you down in the physical world. A person who lives with a
lot of anger in the physical world arrives into the astral in the
same condition. He will remain in the state of anger surrounded by
others who are ill-tempered until the anger dissipates. A person
consumed with jealousy while in physical body will enter the spirit
world with the same character and will be surrounded by jealousy and
envious souls. However a good person on earth who possessed good and
calm character during his/her earthly incarnation will be regarded
as a good and respected soul in the spirit world. The good person
will live with other peaceful souls of similar character.
KARMA: We Will Reap What We Sow
Life is the sequence and consequence of all our past lives and current
life. Every action that we perform directly affects
this life and lives to come. If a man commits cruel act and has gone
unnoticed, he will most likely pay the penalty and face consequences
in his next life.
Karma is the universal law of cause and effect. It is the total of
all actions in the present as well as in all preceding lives. We
will suffer for the hurts we have inflicted and rejoice in the
happiness that we have given to others. Each of us earns a place in
the spirit world or heaven solely based on our actions in the past
and current lives by ourselves. This is true in the physical,
mental, and spirit worlds.
Reincarnation teaches that we live not just one life on earth but many.
The spirit enters a physical body in order to proceed with its
evolution. Every soul should understand the fact that the sensual
pleasures are temporary and we must move towards true joy, and that
true joy comes from the knowledge. We return to the earth plane over and over again until we have
achieved perfection through knowledge. Perfection is the state of
total selflessness. All desire for physical pleasures must be replaced by a complete
dedication to serve humanity.
Ask yourself:
Do you possess a good and loving character?, Do you speak many
languages?, Do you have complete control of your emotions? Is your
motivation at all times completely unselfish?, Did you do enough to
serve humanity?, Have you outgrown any desire for personal gain?,
Are you in perfect physical health? These are only a few prerequisites for mastership of your soul growth.
When we have fully mastered ourselves, and when our karma is
completely balanced, we no longer need to return to the earth plane.
All physical and emotional growth takes place on the physical plane.
What we experience in each lifetime represents a schoolroom for the
soul development. Each hardship is a challenge that we face in order
to work harder toward attaining self-mastery. Reincarnation allows this
education to continue from one life to the next.
There are no shortcuts to self-mastery, and no easy way toward
enlightenment. Much of the process is very painful. Each of us is
tested by attracting experiences that we have earned by our personal
choices. Pain tells us that there is a problem to solve.
Life is the
laboratory for the development of soul remedies.
We should savor all our experiences and fully utilize all our senses and learn
from them to make this our best life yet!
The circumstances of our physical life are a combination of our
current thinking and actions along with the past-life karmic
situations brought into this life. Certain torturous situations we must deal
with in our earth life aren't just the results of our negative
thinking habits, but they are the results of the past-life karma.
When we arrive into the spirit world, our life consists exclusively
of our own thoughts. Life is influenced by Karma only in the physical
world. There is no Karma in the spirit world. However the right
thinking habits in either world is of paramount importance.
Heaven / Devachan
Devachan is the Sanskrit word, meaning Heaven, also known as "the
place of the Gods." Heaven is the place where God lives and where
all good people live with angels and music. People of good character
go to devachan, a state of consciousness between earth lives. There
are many different levels of realms in devachan. You earn your
appropriate place in devachan depending on your soul evolution, your
character and your karma. The time one spends in devachan depends on
life review and the accumulated karma.
You will be drawn toward the activity of interest to you. For
example, if you wish to learn more about your earthly profession,
there are teachers readily available in the spirit world. Heaven is
a continuation of your mental state when you pass over. You may have
a beautiful house if you wish to, though it isn't necessary. The
choice is yours. As the spirit world is the land of no decay, the
spirit houses need no up-keep. They exude natural charm.
On the earth, it takes time to implement a thought and to convert an
idea into product. In the spirit world, it is instantaneous. For
example in the physical world, you must work hard to build a house.
The plans are drawn and executed by a builder. It could take months
or years to complete the construction of a beautiful house. In
spirit world, just think of a house of your liking, and you can have
it in an instant. Similarly you can move instantaneously in the
spirit world with no delay in time. You simply focus your mind upon
the place where you like to be and you are instantly there.
Heaven is traditionally thought of as a place of supreme happiness,
a spiritual state of everlasting communion with God. God is
alternatively defined as the supreme reality and as love. It follows
that Heaven is the place of love. A loving person earns his/her
place in Heaven.
