Dr. Moody changed my life. In 1972 I had a NDE but at that time there was no literature available to put the experience into perspective. Two years later I saw the doctor on TV talking about a book of experiences of people who died and returned. Finally, I get to read other's NDEs and realized there were many of us, I was not alone. Since then we've been able to read thousands of these accounts. Thanks Dr. Moody!

Dear Dr. Moody,

The night that my mom passed away, I was standing in my bedroom, not anywhere near my mother who was in a board and care. The hallway light was reflected on my bedroom door and no one was in the hallway. I glanced up at the door and suddenly an "apparition" of sorts appeared. I saw a jet of black, like the ink from a squid, dart across the bedroom door and I suddenly understood that my mother was going to die. I knew that this strange visit was part of my premonition.

@BrianPSTJ By definition, there can only be anecdotal evidence about this phenomenon. The transition from corporeality to incorporeality cannot be measured. You will have to decide based on the credibility of the persons reporting, and upon your own conceptions as to the feasibility of a spiritual dimension in the world. Science and philosophy, though able to bolster ones belief, are not able to absolutely prove this.

Words fail you in regards to (shared) death experience. Consider these words (ENERGY IS KINSHIP AND KINSHIP IS BLOOD) Example: If a man/wife (Devoted) are separated by war and the man is killed, the wife can know the exact moment of his death.

Man and wife on opposite sides of the table can finish each other sentences off.

If your child went missing, the police said there dead, yet they live, nothing will stop their parents. "Shared energy in Spirit Love & Truth to One Another is Binding".

My cat companion was put to sleep two and a half weeks ago, and my grief prompted me to go back and research an experience I had had during a time that my father passed on. Now I found this. I believe that when my father passed on, I went with him to a point, but couldnt pass through something. Several days later we found out he had had a heart attack while camping around the same time frame I had my experience, he had passed on several days before.

@ChineseAtheist

And do you have any evidence of thus? Link the studies you are referring too.

[BrianPSTJ]

@ChineseAtheist

You dont under stand.

The breakdown is as follows:

There are no visual images in the dreams of those born without any ability to experience visual imagery in waking life.

Individuals who become blind before the age of five seldom experience visual imagery in their dreams.

Those who become sightless between the ages of five and seven may or may not retain some visual imagery.

[ChineseAtheist]

Yes, I know that science promoted this and that many people still believe that, but it is false. Not all, but some people, who have been blind since birth, indeed do have visual images.

The brain does not need visual stimulus in order to devolp the cortical regions that process vision. The optical cortex sometimes even functions if a person is born blind. There have been recent studies on the issue.

@ChineseAtheist Do a internet search for "Do blind people dream?" Here is what I found (I will copy and paste here): "Yes, blind people do have dreams. However, those blind since birth or very early childhood have no visual imagery in their dreams. Instead, they experience a very high percentage of taste, smell, and touch sensations in their dreams."

So, those blind from birth have no visual imagery in their dreams. Those blind a few years AFTER birth can have visual imagery in their dreams.

@ChineseAtheist

Sorry, allow me to clarify: What I meant to say was a person who was BORN blind is unable to dream in colors. If they lost their sight later in their lives then they are able to dream in colors and shapes. Could you link that study? It sounds interesting.

[ChineseAtheist]

I practice mediation and there are some methods, where you close your eyes, feel paralyzed, and then try to float away. You forget that you belong to your body, seperate, float and sometimes autoscopy happened. "Losing contact with sensory input from the body" clearly is the first step and I can see how this is also true for NDEs.

[ChineseAtheist]

You will be surprised: Some blind people also dream in colors! There have been some recent studies, that show that some blind people can draw exactly the shape of what they have seen and they reported some colours. (but these colours are not the correct one's, the brain seems to just add them)

Btw. many people claim that they have a 360° view in their dreams. So it is not the regular view
