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!

Shabbat shalom?
Showing himself to be a murder enthusiast made me lose 10 points on the scale of admiration I had for Raymond Moody.
He gets pleasure from seeing bodies torn apart by gunshots and stab wounds. Besides being bizarre, it's macabre.
Hi, Mayim and Jonathan
I need to say many many things we hear in the last episodes I heard by chance also from Brazilian mediums, all folllowers from Kardecist espiritism. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardecist_spiritism)
For example your discussion in the end of this episode that maybe "opening the portal" bad spirits can also come through. Mediums like Luiz Gasparetto and Divaldo Franco say all the time that spirits are just the way we are, but without body, which means if you don't trust many people in this world, you also should not trust all spirits. They are also evolving and sometimes the mediums themselves guided these spirits to evolve into better beings and continue their journey.
There are movies about the life of the most famous mediums Chico Xavier and Divaldo Franco. They are pretty entertaining and we'll done. About Luiz Antônio Gasparetto though there are lots of videos on the internet. The most impressing one is this one, where he does live paintings on the show (right after his interview) receiving the spirits from very famous painters. Hard to believe without seeing with your own eyes and hearing him talk about his mediumship in many interviews: https://youtu.be/t42mesBrPlk?si=yFQz-LTCWrtRUVIm
By the way, it would be very interesting if you invite a specialist to your show, talking a bit about candomblé, umbanda and kardecist espiritism in Brazil. They are all a bit of a mixture of catolicism and espiritism (and sometimes African practices from the former slavery). They all coexist somehow harmonically. I wish Science and those cultures can also coexist, helping each other with research and in favor of our human nature and for a better future in community.
NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION NOTION!!!! My god, do you people even KNOW any other dam words?
I think it’s time to invite Dean Radin to your show, in my humble view 😌
After my NDE at 6 years old, keeping it under my hat. Then being three loved ones long illnesses, hospice and many more wonderful experiences this has been an affirming podcast.
My mom convinced me my NDE was a dream while I was in first grade.
I was there for her hospice and subsequent death.
Thank you for doing such a great job with this interview ❤❤❤
680 comments of people and their experiences. The idea that this subject matter is rare and mysterious has to change, it's a common experience to have psychic experiences, premonitions, intuitions, NDE experiemces along with direct contact with their deceased loved ones. It's not a change or transition of the earthly world, it's simply validation of our daily reality. And that daily reality is not imaginations and daydreams, it's real.
Too many adverts 😭I understand why but so many
Death in Aramaic means " existing elsewhere "❤
Bet he was a Greek philosopher in a past life, hence affinity to the subject.
Yes, it really does make a massive difference if you believe you deserve to heal 100£. Love your show guys. I love it when Johnston pushes your boundary of what you will admit on this show, maya, trust him, we are pretty flexible at humouring his ideas and love when you are happy to humour him please, let's go there!. It doesn't have to be perfect ,but I like iexplring the out there and fun ideas!. Thanks for reading love Krishna
Around the 45 minute mark. "Americans are just to lazy to think" This concept pops up so often in podcasts,that the masses are ignorant or NPCs. We are not. We are tired. We are not given space or time to think.
Omg. I saw the mist! ICU RN here. Sat with a guy as he passed so he would not die alone. When he took his final breath I saw the mist briefly. The lights were dim so the mist appeared to be a faint orangish color! Haven’t mentioned it to many. I thought I was crazy all these years because I’ve never heard of anyone else seeing it. Thank you for mentioning it!
Mayim, love your earrings!!!!! ❤
Mayim check out Dr Tony Cicorias NDE. He is an orthopedic surgeon from New York who got struck by lightning and came back, compelled to play classical music on a piano. He had no experience ever playing a piano prior to his NDE he had no interest in playing piano. Check out his story. He ultimately composed a classical piece called the lightning Sonata. Check out David Ditchfield, a transient/couch, surfing guy in the UK who came back with extraordinary abilities after being run over by a train. There’s so many extra extraordinary NDE experiences that people have had Dr. Richie was phenomenal but was just one of the earlier. Much has happened since his!😊
I’m more afraid of outliving my retirement than dying!😱😰
I follow my intuition all the time. There is where you can experience things, I am also high sensitive and have experienced a lot of contacts❤
I really enjoyed this interview. Dr. Moodys film life after life was an eye opener for me. Yes the stories are fascinating but for me they opened up an entirely different realm of understanding, perspective and possibilities.
I saw my Vava when I was a kid, shortly after she passed. I did this short vid on it. I think, as I age up, that moment was meant to sustain me through this experience. To give me that sliver of knowing. https://youtu.be/2H_bF3LTJTQ
If you haven’t read Dr. George Ritchie’s autobiographical book, “Return From Tomorrow,” you really must!
My mother saw a pink light emanating from her father as he was passing. She says it looked like the pink in a sunrise around his chest. She initially thought it was a light shining on him but there was no light like that.
Also, my grandmother, my mom's mom, saw her mother right after she passed away in the hospital. My grandmom was 12 at the time. Her mom had it been in the hospital for days after being hit by a car. My grandmom stayed home with her baby brother while the rest of the family went to the hospital. My grandmom was lying in her bed when her mom came into the room and told her to take good care of the baby and told her she had to go home. My grandmom was crying and told her she was already home. Her mom flew out the window. Her family came home shortly after telling her that her mom had passed.
Merry Christmas
I hate that you had to act so stupid talking about this. Ass hats
I very much appreciate this show. The ads are just too too long for my taste.
Amazing episode and I appreciate you and Jonathon’s attention to details both here and there
Ugh, my heart is broken. I just found out Dr. Mayim Bialik is a dirty Zionist. I always knew she was Jewish, and I hold the Jewish people in high regard, but her being part of the synagogue of Satan is just too much.
My Dad had been having what sounded like one-sided conversations for a few months before he died in April 2022, and the night before, he was talking to his mother who had died in 1993. While in hospital a couple of months earlier, he was seeing people in his room that weren’t there. On the afternoon of his passing, while asleep, he reached his hand up and made come here motions, and later told me that I wouldn’t have to worry anymore. I found him when he passed, and I knew before I got there that he was gone. I didn’t go straight to him, I waited because I felt he needed more time to complete the journey in privacy. I had been trying to learn mediumship a year before he went, and during a meditation I distinctly heard one of Dad’s brothers say they will be there when he crosses over and they will celebrate the reunion (Dad was the last of his family to go). Since then, I have learned to communicate with Dad, my guides, and my higher self. Evidential mediums such as Suzanne Giesemann have confirmed things that are incontrovertible proof that he is still here and knows what is going on.
I also have some pre-cognitive ability which has been developing over the last few years. The first instance was when I was 14 and dreamed of my uncle’s death only to find out that morning that he had died. When I was 19 I dreamed of my grandmother’s death two nights before it happened, including word-for-word the phone call from my mother, and I dreamed about 9/11 four days before it happened. These days I will hear words or see images of things that I will actually hear or see soon after.
Five years ago I never would have believed any of it, but here it is, and I have 100% belief that it is real.
The plural of anecdote is not data.
It is energy transference, they've reached the heat of vaporization, supersaturation…..?.
On this episode, I really appreciate Jonathan's narrative concerning personal healing. Thank him for me and stop shutting him down. He was bringing a lot to this discussion and you were not receptive. I found him illuminating and helpful. I know you two have a personal dynamic and it's not necessary for me to delve into your relationship; but I hope you let Jonathan bring his experience into the discussion too.
Of course that decrepit deranged moron believes in that crap, he's almost dead himself and he needs to cling to that fantasy idiocy.
how do we get the manuscript he called "Swan Song"
Mayim, I have to tell you that you looking over at your partner as you speak is incredibly distracting..
Thanks for going there. It is clearly time for these things to come through. Because they are.
I cant be the only person expecting Sheldon to make an appearance lmfao
Dr.moody. I overwork but you buried it in Greek philosphyandrambled
When my father was dying, he spoke to his one brother for hours while my husband sat with him and my husband who is very much has doubts, told me he believed after that. I think they visit us from time to time when we need to hear from them.
Raymond Moody wrote the first book I read about NDE's many many years ago. He convinced me they were real and I've been researching and listening to individuals stories ever since. Great interview – it was a real treat. I had experiences with both my mom and dad after they died. I believe life after death is beautiful and inexplicably loving not just because I've seen and read about NDEs but because the Bible tells me so.
It's so complicated since he says the west doesn't think and yet he often refers to Pluto instead of thinking for answering questions. But great video but hard to understand.
I am a life long lucid dreamer. At 65 it has gotten old. I think it's close to the veil every time.
love this interaction with each other………and muscle testing is amazing
I think seeing the mist involves looking askance
Congratulations on finally interviewing the OG of the field Dr. Raymond Moody! It's about time! LOL! 😄😄😄🤗💖
OK, I have something to add to this. About the portal what if you were nowhere near your parent when they died and you had no relationship with them, but you just knew the exact moment they died. And then a couple weeks later you were at a corporate store and saw this parent and then thought well maybe I was mistaken and when they found the body they had been dead since the night of your experience.🤷🏼 there is a whole rabbit hole. I would love to go down when it comes to this reach out if you want to hear my experience.
