He Was Declared Dead, Left His Body, Traveled Across States, and Later Described a Town He’d Never Visited—One of the Most Astonishing Near-Death Experiences Recorded | Doctor Raymond Moody

Is the veil between life and the afterlife finally breaking down? What could that mean for the way we live our lives?

In this jaw-dropping episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Raymond A. Moody Jr., MD, PhD—the world’s leading authority on Near Death Experiences and author of the groundbreaking bestseller Life After Life—reveals the most mind-blowing NDE he has ever encountered in his 50 years of pioneering research.

For decades, Dr. Moody watched NDEs go from “fringe pseudoscience” to a serious, respected field of study. In this episode, he explains exactly what changed, why he believes NDEs represent the crumbling veil between our current reality and the afterlife, and why believing these accounts has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with evidence.

Dr. Moody also breaks down:

- His astonishing Psychomanteum Research, reviving the ancient ritual of mirror gazing to communicate with deceased loved ones

- Why he feels “forced” to believe in an afterlife

- His powerful message to hardcore skeptics

- Why NDEs may be humanity’s first measurable bridge to another dimension

- The stunning phenomenon of Shared Death Experiences (including his own personal encounter!)

- Why SDEs may offer irrefutable proof of the validity of NDEs

- The spiritual exercise he uses to help skeptics open to afterlife evidence

- Why we’re on the verge of a breakthrough in the rational investigation of life after death

- How skeptics & parapsychologists may actually be more aligned than they think

Mayim and Jonathan also unpack the different categories of NDEs, why proving the science of the afterlife is so difficult, the eerie phenomenon of multiple people having parallel dreams at the same time, the impact of family constellation work on healing and ancestral patterns, and the profound power of unconscious belief and how it shapes our reality.

If you’ve ever wondered whether consciousness survives death…this episode of MBB will challenge everything you think you know!
