Dr. Raymond Moody Interview on Coast to Coast 

 

Dr. Moody discusses his latest insights about spirituality and explores how his understanding of God has evolved over the years.

"In a way, life is a continual spiritual experience. Knowing God isn't just a matter of one day... It's something that unfolds throughout your whole life," he commented.

Moody said he seeks a personal relationship with God outside of formal religion. "The most powerful kind of prayer," he added, "is surrender."

What People Actually Say Before They Die

By Michael Erard
(Featuring Lisa Smartt)

 

Insights into the little-studied realm of last words.

Mort Felix liked to say that his name, when read as two Latin words, meant “happy death.” When he was sick with the flu, he used to jokingly remind his wife, Susan, that he wanted Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” played at his deathbed.

But when his life’s end arrived at the age of 77, he lay in his study in his Berkeley, California, home, his body besieged by cancer and his consciousness cradled in morphine, uninterested in music and refusing food as he dwindled away over three weeks in 2012. “Enough,” he told Susan. “Thank you, and I love you, and enough.”

Do Our Pets Have an Afterlife? by Dr. Kenneth Ring

Do Our Pets Have an Afterlife?

by Dr. Kenneth Ring 

 

We all know what happens when we die – we don’t.

At least that’s what most of us believe, whether by religious faith or because we’ve been convinced by the collective testimony of near death experiencers or perhaps for other reasons.

But whatever the basis of our beliefs, we hold that life isn’t a dead end. Upon death, we just continue to exist in another form.

 But what about our pets?
