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.  To hear my first interview with Dr. Raymond Moody visit: https://youtu.be/8eHyoN-DfOk To learn more about Dr. Raymond Moody visit: www.lifeafterlife.com To learn more about Paul Perry, visit: https://paulperryproductions.com To purchase the book Proof of Life After Life, visit: https://beyondword.com/products/proof-7-reasons-to-believe-in-life-after-life or:  https://www.amazon.com/Proof-Life-after-Reasons-Afterlife/dp/1582708851?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1682433230&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=lifeafterlife-20&linkId=c2d5dd302e3453179093187c6961d9f2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl
