Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who wrote the classic 'Life After Life'?

Answer: Raymond Moody

The others have also written about death and near-death, but Dr. Moody started the ball rolling in modern times.

2. Who wrote 'Heaven and Hell' about his own mystical experience?

Answer: Emanuel Swedenborg

Long before Moody's book.

3. Which is NOT a common feature of the near-death experience?

Answer: Judgment by a divine panel

Everyone emphasizes that there is no 'judgment' by others. It is a non-judgmental event, with the individual himself (or herself) doing whatever judging may occur.

4. Dr. Melvin Morse works with a specific population of people who have had such experiences. Who are they?

Answer: Children

Presumably, children have had less time to be contaminated or brainwashed by cultural biases, expectations, etc.

5. Morey Bernstein caused a sensation about half a century ago with this allegedly true tale of reincarnation.

Answer: 'Search for Bridey Murphy'

'Before' was Jock Mahoney movie (fiction) from the 50s - not too bad. 'Proud' was a movie from the 70s (fiction) - also entertaining. 'Resurrection' was a movie with 'Ellen Burstyn - so-so. Bernstein claimed to have hypnotized a housewife back to a prior life several centuries ago in Ireland.

6. Which famous author remembered prior lives under hypnotic age regression?

Answer: Taylor Caldwell

She wasn't happy. 'You mean ... I have to go through all this again?' seemed to be her attitude.

7. What celebrity claimed that he would make contact from the 'afterworld', if possible to do so?

Answer: Houdini

He didn't.

8. Which of these has been suggested as an explanation for the near-death experience?

Answer: All of these

Who knows? Believe it - or not?

9. Which of the following is true?

Answer: None of these

Many people come close, but fail to have the experience. Some have negative experiences - most unpleasant. Not everyone reports having all the 'elements', nor is there any set sequence of events.

10. Which author did NOT write about his (or her) experience with 'the Light'?

Answer: Robert Monroe

Eade wrote a bestseller, as did Brinkley. Atwater has also written about 'the light'. Monroe, on the other hand, writes about out of body experiences that are totally unrelated to near-death experience. Strange, strange books.
