That would suck to have a psychiatrist who was moody.
Like, I told you, I don't want to hear about your mother anymore.
Exactly.
But yeah, so his book, Life After Life, is pretty much the book that kicked off modern fascination with near-death experiences.
It basically introduced the whole idea that there's a pattern to what people report when they come close to death and then come back.
Right.
Like we said, stuff like moving through a tunnel, encountering a bright light, feeling a sense of peace, sometimes meeting deceased loved ones and then coming back with a changed outlook on life.
Yes.
And that's another spot on observation there, Jordan, too.
But Dr. Moody was, in fact, a Western doctor reporting on Western patients, patients who had all had the same preconceived notions about what the afterlife would be like.
Not surprisingly, it fits the narrative of what they believe heaven to be.
Exactly.
And that was the big criticism of the book.
When researchers started looking into NDEs in other cultures, they did notice variations.
For example, in cultures with Buddhist or Hindu backgrounds, people might describe seeing a river or a bridge rather than a tunnel, or they might encounter figures that align more from their own religious traditions.
In some cases, people from different cultural backgrounds might not see a being of light at all, but something more like ancestors or guides.
It all just fits their specific belief systems.
So, yeah, there's a cultural lens that can shape how these NDEs are reported and experienced.
Okay.
So clearly our roles are slightly reversed in this episode.
