From the Bookshelf of Paths to Wholeness…

[close] This was the first book on the subject that I read after I began to realize that I'd had a near-death experience due to a medical error in 1993. Several others followed, as well as a subscription to the International Journal of Near-Death Studies, membership in a group of near-death survivors, and eventually, transitioning from a PhD program in English to counseling psychology. That experience is at the heart of my recent book, Paths to Wholeness: Fifty-Two Flower Mandalas. All these years later, it's still not clear to me exactly what the meaning of an NDE is, but Moody's book did a credible job of documenting the phenomenon, one I still find more valuable than the extraordinary claims of those who have more recently, and famously, written about near-death experiences.
