Nonsense. He is a senior and highly respected researcher even today.Moody's work has been discredited for decades.
My point is that a personal realization infers only a subjective proof. It doesn't objectively prove anything.
Hi Ran, proving the existence of God to ourselves isn't as hard as providing that same proof to others. It seems that God has made things this way, that if we want to know Him we each have to be willing to seek Him for ourselves. And not give up til we find Him. IMHO waiting for death would be giving up on that search:So many people argue about the existance of God.So i want to know what do you think about it?
Fair enough, but this doesn't have anything to do with the discussion at hand. You claimed that self-realization is proof of God's existence. But, it is merely subjective interpretation and/or speculation, which cannot be considered proof of anything.I agree. But the need for objective proof is a hindrance. The mind is trying to find something to hang onto so it can survive. That need in and of itself is a prison, a subtle trap of the personality. Coming to terms with the true identity of the soul involves letting go of all needs, including the need for proof and the need to know answers. Notice how dependent we are on being dependent. There is always something. If there isn't we will just make something up. A thought, a belief, an idea. Something, anything. That is why the personality is the father of lies. Yet no matter how good or how bad we take that something to be it is a hindrance in realizing the infinite freedom, eternal liberation and unconditional value of the soul which is one with God.

There of course is no one determiner of credibility for all of us.
Such is just your own analysis. I find him credible and the website addresses challenges. I believe the overall weight of the evidence strongly suggest something dramatic occurs that is not understood by science and can not be explained within the boarders of materialistic thought.Not the source with your referenced. His book, and its research, are full of flaws, rejection of data which doesn't align with his views, flawed methodology and . In academy his work has no credibility. When actually NDE studies are made the results are due to brain chemistry rather than Moody's anecdotal evidence.

Academy?? Which one?Not just my own but from academy which reviewed his flawed research.

That's certainly not an Academy as you claimed. It is just individuals. And I can name individuals. Plus, I am not sure you understand what Lommel and Jansen are really saying. Blackmore is one of the go-to skeptic people that has been out of the Near Death studies business for some time now.Pim van Lommel's study for a start. You can also read Susan Blackmore's stduy. Dr. Karl Jansen experiment using ketamine. When scrutinized Moody's book fails on many accounts
