A man is dying and, as he reaches the point of greatest physical distress, he hears himself pronounced dead by his doctor. 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, dark tunnel. After this, he finds himself outside of his own physical body...Soon, other things begin to happen. Others 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 nver encountered before-a being of light-appears before him. Over the past five years, Dr. Raymond Moody has studied more than one hundred subjects who have experienced 'clinical death' and been revived. Their accounts of this experience are startlingly similar in detail.

Dr. Raymond Moody, filosoof en arts, deed diepgaand onderzoek naar het voortbestaan na de lichamelijke dood. Hiertoe ondervroeg hij talloze mensen die klinisch dood werden bevonden. Het opmerkelijke resultaat is, dat de verklaringen eensluitend zijn ten aanzien van een, ondanks diepe bewusteloosheid, helder funktionerend bewustzijn en een exacte waarneming waarin het 'dode' lichaam zich bevond. Een detaillistisch onderzoek, soms wat in herhalingen vervallend, maar het geeft een voortreffelijk beeld van wat klinisch doodverklaarde mensen ervaren. In deze uitgave is het eerder afzonderlijke verschenen vervolg, dat verder weinig nieuws toevoegt, opgenomen. (NBD|Biblion recensie, P.M. van Breevoort-Noordzij) Notable Lists
In Life After Life Raymond Moody investigates more than one hundred case studies of people who experienced "clinical death" and were subsequently revived. First published in 1975, this classic exploration of life after death started a revolution in popular attitudes about the afterlife and established Dr. Moody as the world's leading authority in the field of near-death experiences. Life after Life forever changed the way we understand both death -- and life -- selling millions of copies to a world hungry for a greater understanding of this mysterious phenomenon. The extraordinary stories presented here provide evidence that there is life after physical death, as Moody recounts the testimonies of those who have been to the "other side" and back -- all bearing striking similarities of an overwhelming positive nature. These moving and inspiring accounts give us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that await us all-- No library descriptions found.

Quali esperienze ci attendono nell'aldilà? A questi e ad altri fondamentali interrogativi troviamo risposta in queste pagine: una risposta rassicurante, che strappa alla morte la sua maschera angosciosa, e ce la presenta come dispensatrice di intensi sentimenti di gioia, amore e pace.
