Dear Friends,
I want to share with you an incredible new story about life after death.
"For me, it's become clear that the best way to look at it is to turn it around and realize that consciousness exists in a much richer form, free and independent of the brain, which has everything to do with the eternity of our souls and the fact that our awareness, our consciousness, our soul, our spirit, does not depend on the existence of the brain in the physical universe. In fact, it's freed up to a much richer knowing when we're outside."
So says Dr Eben Alexander, a Harvard neurosurgeon, who nearly died four years ago when a ferocious E. coli meningitis infection attacked his brain and plunged him deep into a week-long coma. Brain scans showed his entire cortex -- the parts of the brain that give us consciousness, thought, memory and understanding -- was not functioning. Doctors gave him little chance to live and told his family that if he did survive he'd probably be brain-damaged for the rest of his life.
Against all odds, Alexander woke up a week after being stricken. But he believes his wife Holley was right: He wasn't there.
Deep in coma, his brain infected so badly only the most primitive parts were working, Alexander claimed he experienced something extraordinary: a journey to Heaven.
"In every sense, of the word that's what my experience showed me," Alexander said.
It was a near-death experience -- like those reported by thousands of others. But Alexander was determined to prove scientifically that it happened.
In his new book, "Proof of Heaven," he raises and then strikes down various hypotheses on how his journey could not happen.
Alexander said he is scientifically certain that his stricken brain could never have produced the images and ideas he experienced -- or remembered them.
