Raymond MoodyDr. Moody recently published Glimpses of Eternity: Sharing a loved one's passage from this life to the next. This book describes Shared Death Experiences in which persons present at the death of a loved one themselves experience leaving their body, viewing the life review of their loved one and traveling part-way toward the Light. Moody described some of his insights in a recent interview.


Bruce GreysonDr. Greyson has been called "the father of NDE research" and is one of the most prolific researchers in the field. In a recent interview, Greyson discussed how cumulative research into NDEs challenges both a classical physical view of reality, and an exclusively neuroscience-based view of consciousness.

 

EbenAlexander

Dr. Eben Alexander, an academic neurosurgeon for the last 25 years, had an NDE in November 2008 as a result of acute meningitis infection. Many scientists still conclude about NDEs that "when the brain actually dies, so does the mind/soul/self etc." That's why Dr. Alexander's experience is so important. In the midst of his week in coma, he had a remarkable spiritual experience. His story is a key addition to NDE literature! Dr. Alexander has given a number of interviews recently.
