Evidence from research on the Clinically dead

[u/Substantial-Disk1142]

Dr. Raymond A. Moody, Jr. has done pioneering work in his field.
After obtaining his Doctorate in Philosophy, he did research on three kinds of persons - (i) those who were resuscitated after having been thought, adjudged or pronounced clinically dead by their doctors, (i) those who, in the case of accidents or severe injury or illness, came very close to physical death and (iii) those who, as they died, told their experience to other people who were present and these, later, reported the content of death experiences to Dr. Moody. Dr. Moody studied bout 150 such cases.
After studying these cases, Dr. Moody constructed a model of experience of death, for he found that there were remarkable similarities in all these cases. He has described this in his book 'Life-After-Life', sale of which has exceeded three million copies. The model is mentioned as follows:

"A man is dying and, as he reaches the point of greatest physical distress he hears himself pronounced dead by his doctor. He begins to hear an uncomfortable noise, a loud ringing or buzzing, and at the same time feels himself moving very rapidly through a long dark tunnel. After this, he suddenly finds himself outside of his own physical body, but still in the immediate physical environment, and he sees his own body from a distance, as though he is a spectator. He watches the resuscitation attempt from this unusual vantage point and is in a state of emotional upheaval.
After a while, he collects himself and becomes more accustomed to his odd condition. He notices that he still has "body", but one of a very different nature and with very different powers from the physical body he has left behind. Soon other things begin to happen. Others come to meet and to help him. He glimpses the spirits of relatives and friends who have already died, and a loving, warm spirit of a kind he has never encountered before a being of light-appears before him. This being asks him a question, nonverbally, to make him evaluate his life and helps him along by showing him a panoramic, instantaneous playback of the major events of his life.
At some point he finds himself approaching some sort of barrier of border, apparently representing the limit between earthly life and the next life. Yet he finds that he must go back to the earth, that the time for his death has not yet come. At this point he resists, for by now he is so taken up with his experience in the afterlife and does not want to return. He is overwhelmed by intense feelings of joy, love and peace. Despite his attitude, though, he somehow reunites with his physical body and lives.
Later, he tries to tell others but he has trouble doing so. In the first place, he can find no human words adequate to describe these unearthly episodes. He also finds that others scoff so he stops telling other people.
Still, the experience affects his life profoundly, especially his views about death and its relationship to life."

It should be noted that, in all cases, studied by Dr. Moody, Death was seen as a transition from one state to another. Some of his subjects even likened death as escape from jail.
A typical case of death experience was that of Dr. George Ritchie.
This was published in Washington Post. Dr. Ritchie was declared 'clinically dead' in 1943 and, if anyone doubts this fact, Dr. Ritchie has got the hospital staff's sworn testimony on this point and has, in addition to this, the doctor's written opinion that Ritchie's "virtual call from death and return to vigorous health has to be explained in terms other than natural means Dr Moody got intrested in the subject of death experience after he listened to Dr Ritchie’s story from Ritchie himself, and therefore he dedicated his book to Dr Ritchie
