"...a lucid, sensible discussion of a mind-boggling subject."- Kirkus Reviews Raymond Moody, Jr., M. D. PhD, changed the way we perceive death and dying with his seminal books, Life After Life and The Light Beyond. In this reissued classic, he does it again, investigating past lives with the new science of regression hypnosis. His goal: To discover if we can indeed recall "past lives" and what such memories tell us about the possibility that death is not the end. A confirmed skeptic with regard to reincarnation, Dr. Moody first became interested in the phenomenon when he encountered psychologically healthy patients who, under deep hypnosis, suddenly began describing in vivid detail episodes from other historical periods they could not possibly have known. His interest in the meaning of these visions intensified when he decided to undertake his own journey into the baffling and exhilarating realm of "past life" experiences. He himself underwent a deep hypnotic trance that revealed nine former lives, two during the Roman Empire and one as a Chinese woman artist who was brutally murdered. Uncertain what to make of these seemingly genuine past life experiences, Dr. Moody began a comprehensive two-year researcher project into the subject. Coming Back is the fascinating result of his findings. The Authors Raymond Moody, Jr., M. D., Ph.

Tuon tunnelin päässä oli mitä rauhallisin paikka. Se ylitti kaikki kuvitelmani. Oli puhdasta, levollista ja rakkaudellista. Maisema oli kaunis: oli sininen taivas, kumpuilevia rinteitä, kukkia. Kaikki oli täynnä valoa, aivan kuin kaikki olisi valaissut itse itseään - kuin kaikki olisi säteillyt valoa sen sijaan, että olisi heijastanut sitä. Tulin paikkaan, jossa tunsin, että minun olisi tehtävä päätös: menenkö takaisin elämään vai jatkanko kuolemaan? Siellä oli paras ystäväni, joka oli kuollut syöpään kaksi vuotta aikaisemmin. Hän kertoi minulle, että tämän pitemmälle en voisi mennä, tai en voisi kääntyä takaisin. "Sinä olet tullut rajalle. Tämän pidemmälle et voi mennä", hän sanoi. "Mene nyt takaisin ja elä elämäsi täydellä antaumuksella ja ilman pelkoa." Minun ei sallittu ylittää rajaa. En saanut valita itse. Lääkäri ja tiedemies, Jeffrey Long, oli skeptikko jo koulutuksensa ja työnsä puolesta. Lopulta hän päätti tutkia mistä ns. kuolemanrajakokemuksissa on kysymys. Long tutki työryhmänsä kanssa yli 1300 tapausta, joissa ihminen oli käynyt hyvin lähellä kuolemaa tai jopa todettu kliinisesti kuolleeksi, mutta saatu vielä elvytettyä. Rajalla käyneiden kertomukset sisälsivät hämmästyttävää yhdenmukaisuutta riippumatta kulttuurista, iästä tai maailmankatsomuksesta. Jopa syntymästään saakka sokeat, joilla oli rajakokemus, kertoivat "nähneensä" samoja asioita kuin näkevät kohtalotoverinsa. Tämä kirja on selostus ja yhteenveto Jeffrey Longin kuolemanrajakokemuksia koskevasta tutkimuksesta. Se on vavahduttavaa luettavaa.

Renowned as a centre of ship-building and steel-working in the early twentieth century, the town of Jarrow, on the river Tyne, has seen a huge amount of change over the course of the last 100 years.

An intriguing insight into days gone by, local historian and photographer Paul Perry illustrates the changes that have been wrought upon the town through a selection of captivating images from his archive alongside full-colour modern photographs of the same scene today.

"There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of near death experience (NDE) than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer," states radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long is his groundbreaking new book Evidence of the Afterlife.

Grounded in first-hand evidence culled from over 1,600 verified NDE accounts, Evidence of the Afterlife presents the strongest argument yet for the underlying truth of those who have died and returned to share their tales.
