Light After Death -- the NDE & the Baha'i Faith

Описание: This videos explores the astounding similarity between the Near-Death Experience and teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, which can, without exaggeration, be termed uncanny.

Bahá'ís hold all of the great religions to be divine in origin and progressive in nature. In the Bahá'í view Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Zoroaster, Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh are divine intermediaries of equal station, linking humanity to a common Creator. All of them propagated teachings which restated the same basic spiritual truths, adapting them to the needs and circumstances of the ages in which they were revealed. While confirming past religions, the Bahá'í Faith advances a claim to be the faith for a modern age.

Principle teachings:

The unbiased and independent investigation of truth.

The elimination of all forms of prejudice.

The awareness of the unity of religious truth and a recognition that each of the world religions was tailored to the needs of a particular age and people.

An affirmation that religion cannot be at odds with science and reason.

The adoption of a universal auxiliary language to be taught in all the schools of the world along with the mother language.

Universal compulsory education.

The equality of woman and man.

The elimination of extremes of wealth and poverty.

The establishment of a world federation of nations.

The establishment of a world court to peacefully settle disputes between and among nations.

Disarmament and the establishment of world peace based upon a common mutual security agreement.

In addition the Bahá'í Faith has neither priesthood nor clergy, correspondingly, it has only a few simple rites and ceremonies which are expressly mentioned in its religious texts, e.g. an obligatory daily prayer, a marriage ceremony and a specific prayer to be used at funerals. While the Bahá'í Faith has clear and profound tenets and principles, it shuns any attempt to enshroud them with any form of rigid and exclusive dogmas.

Although it might seem like a New Age movement of the 1960s, the Bahá’í Faith originated in the mid 1800s in Persia. Despite the ferocious persecution of the Bahá’ís by fanatical clerics and agitated mobs, this new religion spread like wildfire, but that’s another topic. This video is about the uncanny similarity of the Bahá’í teachings on the soul and afterlife, and the near-death experience as described by Dr. Raymond Moody in this book, “Life After Death” first published in 1975.

Near Death Experience of Reinee Pasarow (Sept. 30, 1950 – Jan. 17, 2020). Restored audio. Nearly ten year before Dr. Moody made the NDE famous, Reinee Pasarow had a NDE in May of 1966 when she was fifteen years old. Because it was documented that she had been pronounced dead at the hospital, her case gained widespread attention after the release of Moody’s book. She recounted her NDE on the ABC 20/20 television program, and was also interviewed by CNN and NBC. She was a prominent and active member of the Bahá’í Faith – as a result it is a good place to start if you want to learn a bit about the Bahá’í Faith in addition to her NDE. Her book: Answers from Heaven: The Near-Death Experiences of Reinee Pasarow, is a great read. Paperback – February 16, 2018 available on Amazon

Here are three YouTube channels about NDEs which do excellent work. When watching NDE videos, I rely on my intuition as a guide -- this subject is a magnet for many things and can be misused.

Finally, since the publication of Moody’s book, there has been some fascinating research done on human consciousness by a Dutch Cardiologist, Dr. Pim van Lommel. If you are not familiar with this work, I highly recommend checking it out.
