Dr. Eben Alexander taught at Harvard Medical School and has a good reputation as a neurosurgeon. Although he calls himself converted to Christianity, but he never really believed in life after death.
But after a week coma in the fall of 2008, when neokorteks stops functioning, Alexander claimed that he had a visit to the afterlife, particularly heaven.
"According to the medical understanding of brain and mind, I could not have had any experience as a coma, let alone a very clear and coherent as I experienced," wrote Alexander in a major report this week's issue of Newsweek. So, what is heaven like?
According to Alexander, he first found himself floating in the clouds before witnessed, "shiny transparent creatures flying through the sky, leaving a trail line as the former trail behind the plane."
He was then escorted by a female figure and communicate with these creatures with the method of correspondence in the language. The message he received was,"You are loved and cherished, loved, forever.""You need not be afraid.""There's no one thing that you do."
From there, Alexander claimed he traveled toward "an emptiness, very dark, infinite size, but also very comforting." He believes this gap is the house of the Lord.
After recovering from a coma caused by meningitis, Alexander felt free to share this experience with his colleagues, but he found a sense of security at the church. He also wrote his experiences in a book, "Proof of Heaven: A neurosurgeon's journey into the afterlife," which will be published in late October.
"I'm still a doctor, and still the same trust in science as it was before my experience," wrote Alexander. "But in a deeper level, I am a very different person than I was, because I catch a glimpse of a picture of this reality. And you can believe me if I told you everything would be paid off, and for those who live after us, to do the right thing. "
