Raymond Moody
Raymond Moody, physician and philosopher, pioneered the study of near-death experiences with his landmark book Life After Life (1975). He coined the term “near-death experience” and described recurring features: tunnels, lights, life reviews, and encounters with beings of love. His work bridged medicine, psychology, and spirituality, challenging materialist views of consciousness. Moody emphasized compassion and curiosity, urging openness to mysteries beyond empirical science. Though critics questioned his methods, his influence reshaped cultural conversations about death and the afterlife. He continues exploring the nature of consciousness, inspiring seekers to consider that death may not be an end but a profound transition.
Life is like a prison… Death is like liberation, release from prison
