Dr. Moody's seminal 1975 book, "Life After Life," which I read shortly after its release, was my introduction to any form of psychical research. I was completely divorced from orthodox religion at that time and needed something to believe in, and his research in the area of near-death experiences really got me to thinking that there is something more than a mechanistic world. Although I didn't begin to seriously seek spiritual enlightenment until 1988 or 1989, Dr. Moody's book remained with me as a starting point. After thoroughly studying the evidence for survival for five years or more, I became convinced that survival is a fact, but then I began to read things by Dr. Moody suggesting that he was a fence-sitter of sorts, playing the skeptic for the scientific fundamentalists and the believer for the believers. What really bothered me is that he didn't seem to understand that there is a difference between "proof" and "evidence." Instead of saying that the evidence strongly suggests survival or just points to survival, he would say that we still don't have proof, or words to that effect. I became somewhat disenchanted with Dr. Moody. However, I started to become a fan of his again after his reading this 2010 book, "Glimpses of Eternity." After reading his latest book, which is an autobiography, I am definitely a fan again.Although Dr. Moody still seems to struggle with the difference between evidence and proof in this book, I found it very interesting, informative, intriguing, and inspirational. There was even some humor in it, such as when his father, a physician, called an ambulance and had his son taken to a psychiatric hospital after he told his father about his experiments with a psychomanteum, an offshoot of crystal or mirror gazing, in which the individual sees and talks with spirits of the dead. "I was angry and puzzled," Moody writes. "My father was such a well respected physician in Georgia that he was able to have his son committed to an institution just because he didn't understand the research and work I had been doing and thought I was delusional."The early chapters tell how he became interested in the study of NDEs and the various barriers he encountered in making his research known to other scientists and the public. "I had already found that people insisted on bringing the same somber demeanor to this subject as they would have while sitting in a funeral parlor waiting for service to begin," he further writes. "I didn't know whether they thought I somehow required that the subject be treated this way or if they just saw death as a somber subject. Whatever the case, since I saw the results of my research as some of the best news ever for those concerned that death was the end of all consciousness, I tried to put some levity into our conversation."Moody tells of his attempted suicide, his own near-death experience, some past-life experiences and some very interesting shared-death experiences involving his own family. "It is through the study of shared-death experience that we may get a clearer answer to the question of what happens to our souls after death," he offers. He ends the book by addressing the question of what happens after we die with his feet planted firmly on the believer side of the fence.Thank you, Dr. Moody, for your dedication to helping others over the years with life's most important question.
