Raymond A. Moody

"...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.

Es gibt Menschen, die klinisch für tot erklärt wurden, dennoch aber wieder ins Leben zurückfanden. Moody entwickelte sich zum ausgewiesenen Spezialisten für ungeklärte Phänomene im Grenzbereich zwischen Leben und Tod, sogenannten "thantologischen" Fragen. Im Verlauf einer fünfjährigen Untersuchung gelang es Dr. Moody, rund 150 solcher Fälle ausfindig zu machen.
