Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife
Host Lisa Garr engages Dr. Raymond Moody in conversation on the topic of rebirth and his latest book, Paranormal: My Life in Pursuit of the Afterlife, exploring aspects of his many years of research in near-death studies.

Dr. Raymond Moody, M.D. (lifeafterlife.com) is the bestselling author of 11 books which have sold over 20 million copies. His main work, Life After Life, has completely changed the way we view death and dying and has sold over 13 million copies worldwide. Dr. Moody is the leading authority on the “near death experience” (NDE), a phrase he coined in the late 1970s. He is best known for his groundbreaking work on the near death experience among the living and what happens when we finally actually die. The New York Times calls him “the father of the near death experience.”

SHARED NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES are when living bystanders also experience what the nearly-dying person sees, hears, and feels. This is amazing evidence that the afterlife is real rather than a hallucination. We live again and again, life after life. These are the findings of famous psychiatrist, researcher, and author Dr. Moody, M.D. with 40 years in the field. NDEs cause profound spiritual changes in the living, including losing our fear of death.

Harvard neurosurgeon’s NDE
There are many heavens
To explore a transcendental  near death experience, we follow a neurosurgeon’s journey into the afterlife. The DVD Conversations with Eben Alexander & Raymond Moody discusses Dr. Alexander’s firsthand experience. Spend two hours with Dr. Moody, "father of the near-death-experience," and Dr. Eben Alexander, author of the New York Times’ No. 1 bestseller Proof of Heaven, as they go beyond the death experience. They explore issues surrounding the transcendental  near-death experience. Their conversation takes the discussion to a whole new level questioning the scientific and spiritual methodology, offering new insights into the ultimate human question.

(Nov. 27, 2013) Dr. Mario Martinez is a clinical neuropsychologist and founder of Biocognitive science. He lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity beyond genetics. Biocognition explores the learning of illness and the causes of health. It defies the genetic helplessness proposed by our reductionist science. Joy, on the other hand, requires sufficient self-esteem to accept it without self-sabotage. His research demonstrates that thoughts and their biological expression co-emerge within a cultural history, even as current science continues to separate mind and body. To be healthy and youthful, we can ignore the influence of cultural contexts have on the process of health. For example, cultures that view growing older as positive are associated with increased wisdom and have higher numbers of centenarians living healthier lives than cultures like ours which view aging as a process of inevitable deterioration.
