The #1 New York Times bestselling account of a neurosurgeon's own near-death experience—for readers of 7 Lessons from Heaven.
Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.
Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back.
Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.
Alexander’s story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.
This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.

"I'm an engineer, so by natural too rational. Though not religious, I am spiritual. As I neared 40 at the time of reading Eben's book, more anxiety and stress came about into my life. Complimenting these issues are natural questions about my own mortality because a lot of my anxiety and stress arose from psychosomatic health issues. I could make myself sick to my stomach with just a thought about some imagined health issue in a matter of minutes.
So, I found great solace in knowing that a neurosurgeon, an individual who is supposed to be highly rational and scientific in nature--thus more likely to reject the notions of an after-life--wrote this book.
The premise is based on the fact that Eben contracted meningitis and was clinically brain-dead for 7 days. During these seven days, he laid in a comatose state and embarked on a journey to the afterlife. His contention is THERE IS an afterlife and a soul because his thoughts and his experiences existed outside of the time and realm of his body which laid in a comatose state for those 7 days.
Though you can find evidence from other neurosurgeons refuting Eben's claims of a afterlife journey, I'm inclined to believe Eben. I speak from my own experiences of being spooked in buildings and on ships. After leaving I would search on the Internet and find rumors that those places are haunted, which explained my uneasy feelings the entire time."

- I had a NDE after a serious motorcycle accident when I was 33 years old - I'm now 70! The experience will always be with me! Our Creators name is LOVE!!! Sometimes when I tell my story, the reactions are good and sometimes people just think the brain is reacting to the death process! I only wish I had the ability to express in words what took place, however, I now realize, that words can never express the LOVE that that I felt and the removal of all hate! Hate does not live in that realm, and can never live there! To feel totally immersed in LOVE, cannot be put into the languages of this world - I've tried and failed. I will tell you this much - all religions fail - ALL. Our creator is so far beyond this nonsense that I can't even put it in words! All I know is that I will always LOVE my creator, OM, or what ever name you want to use! I really stopped caring if people believed me or not, however, when they want to know what I experienced - I'm always happy to tell them what happened to me - as best I can - with the limitations that language can express! What a great book! Thanks to you Doctor; now others may understand what I went through! Rather you are a believer or not, Religious or Attheist, Agnostic, or what ever you are, at the very least you will come away with questions, that will at least make you wonder!!! I actually feel blessed that my Creator had me go through this in my Life - as painful as it was! It really made me look at Life in a much different way! Sorry for going on and on, but, I really appreciated this book, especially from a neurosurgeon! All I know is; that to me it was no dream! This was so different that I know it will be with me until I return to my Creator. What an experience! I thought my life was over at age 33, however, he/she, Creator, OM, Love, Truth, has shown me what Life really is! I hope all, and I mean all find what I found! Maybe, just maybe, this world or realm we live in would become a better place!
- It's important to note that Dr. Alexander's experience (NDE ,although he was never clinically dead [no brain waves]) is entirely SUBJECTIVE, (private, personal) as are such experiences. He then goes on to promote a philosophy and theology for all humans.
I am no stranger to the realm he speaks about. I have had a life changing encounter with a like realm. It's true that there is no language to express this reality accurately. We just use the tools we're given.
Years ago after reading books by Moody, Ross etc on death and what happens afterward , including some Zen existentialist , Jung and Buddist literature i decided to look into the New Testament.
I read only a little of it and decided nobody else's experience mattered more than my own and that to make an informed decision about life death etc i needed more.
Long story (sorry) short this is what happened I talked to a God I wasn't even sure exhisted. All of a sudden the form of a man that looked like glowing molten metal appeared right in front of me. Without words he conveyed to me (also) three things. He 'said' "I AM REAL. I AM JESUS. THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD". Then he poured Himself into me. This was so unexpected that I exited the room as fast as I could. BTW, this took place with eyes opened and closed. It didn't matter. I was seeing and experiencing in the spiritual realm. I have never been the same. I am always aware of the reality that dwarfs this one and The Person of God.
So, many of us have had varied subjective spiritual experiences. I part ways thought with Dr. Alexander's theology though. He says God's name is "om". Realy? That syllable that is chanted in yoga? I can't buy that.
Where i really depart though is he says he was taught "you can do no wrong". By extension then no human can do wrong ultimately!? So Hitler, Stalin, and Jeffery Dahmer are all in bliss enjoying a meal with their victoms?
Look. There's nothing new here. There is the group that believes all humans are somewhere ,somehow intrinsically good and will go to become part of god when they pass. There's the group that doesn't believe anything. Then there is a group that believe man is intrinsically bent on things that are against God and neighbor and practices such things a little/much, against /with their own consent.
I believe the latter has been my experience. BUT , I believe the One True God (who's name isn't om) has provided the cure.
I believe we do best to look to the one who has had the ADE/R. Actual death experience and RESURRECTION. (Differs from resuscitation, revivification.
If one will put aside any anti-supernatural bias and any unforgiveness toward the people who say they know Jesus (please forgive us) and use only the methods historians use on secular data, all naturalistic explanations of the resurrection of Jesus fail to explain all that data. Overwhelmingly the most probable explanation is God raised Jesus from the dead.
This dovetails perfectly with my SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE and my OBJECTIVE (outside, public) knowledge and the past SUBJECTIVE and OBJECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS.
It's interesting that modern man may even want to believe in a God but not a devil who could deceive. Because both good and evil, both God and the Evil one do exist Dr. Alexander has unwittingly become an evangelist (he even says he ha good news) for a false God which puts him in league with the one Jesus says comes only to steal kill and destroy. How? If you're not gathering with Jesus he says you're scattering. If Jesus didn't lie when he said no-one comes to the Father but by me and he who does not honor the son does not honor the Father
who sent Him, who/what is teaching you to do an end around Jesus to get to a god?
Just because something fits in my mouth doesn't mean I should eat it. Just because something is liquid doesn't mean I should drink it. JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS SPIRITUAL DOESN'T MEAN I SHOULD TAKE IT IN.
This man's theology is dangerous for the souls of men who are seeking but have yet to be apprehended by the truth and something to be stepped on by those of us who have.
(For evidence of the resurrection of Jesus see Habermas, Licona, Carson, Craig).
Please add knowledge to any experience you have and if you have knowledge only you CAN experience Jesus in the present.
Peace be to you,
Darrell - This was the most convincing book I came across while preparing for how to deal with my husbands quickly approaching death from glioblastoma.In the 2 to 3 weeks before his death he saw deceased family members our daughter, his sister, his grandfather,and even one of our sweet dogs who had passed. This author helped to assure me that he was going to a good place...or was already there. 15 days before he died he told me he was "almost there" and then said he "felt really good". This so much comforted me because to look at him this didn't seem possible. This book made his statements more convincing.
