Elements of The Near-death Experience
From a study of 150 people who had clinically died or almost died, Moody concluded that there are nine experiences common to most people who have had a near death experience. These are:
- hearing sounds such as buzzing
- a feeling of peace and painlessness
- having an out-of-body experience
- a feeling of traveling through a tunnel
- a feeling of rising into the heavens
- seeing people, often dead relatives
- meeting a spiritual being such as God
- seeing a review of one's life
- feeling a reluctance to return to life

The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
