A successful neurosurgeon, who has taught at Harvard Medical School and other universities, spent his life dismissing claims of heavenly out-of-body experiences and refuting such talk with scientific logic, until he himself had a near-death experience.
During that time, Dr. Eben Alexander says he saw heaven and knows the afterlife exists. Now he's telling the world in his new book, "Proof of Heaven."
It's always heaven with these out-of-body experiences. Hard to believe that no one's made a quick trip to hell and back. I don't expect to find geographical coordinates for heaven in his book though. Heaven and hell are not geographical places..... it's all in the mind....... just like my vivid dream last night with a co-worker that passed away years ago.
And the article uses lots of powerful words (like neurosurgeon, Harvard, proof, etc.) to give it the flavor of scientific respectability, doesn't it?
Well, yes. But what we really need is a proper investigation, not just what reminds me strongly of ex-NASA and USAF and Ex -Government bods making videos where they present their 'evidence' for ongoing UFO/Alien -top military.government bods covert operations. Such presentations are supposed to be taken at face value but there is no check, no research, no way of validating the evidence.
This stuff isn't even hard - evidence at second hand. It's just absolutely in the mind and whether it's real or a fairly commonplace human delusion is still to be found out. It isn't the first human experience that has begun to look like something in the mind - like voices and angelic presences.
Useful information "coming back from the dead" would be the formula for the cure for cancer, alzheimer's, parkinson's et al. seeing it was a doctor and all.
Person unconscious had dreams. I fail to see the interest in the story.
Me either. According to personal anecdotes, people have seen Bigfoot, been captured and probed by space aliens, have come back from the dead, seen the light, seen ghosts and evil spirits, etc. None of this is evidence and must be dismissed.
I didn't watch the clip but read the Newsweek article. What he describes is not the typical NDE. And, as a neurosurgeon, he was very much predisposed to think NDEs were the by-product of oxygen-deprivation or some other cortical misfirings.
