"Proof of Heaven" Near Death Experience by Dr Eben Alexander

[Schahin]

Hey dear community, 

I would like to share an amazing story of Dr Eben Alexander with you. 

He is a neurosurgeon and had a near death experience during a 7 day coma.

This book actually gave a totally new glimpse of god , heaven and the afterlife. It's amazing to read and quite different than the psychedelic experiences we hear of. I also listened to several other Near death experiences and all of them were  quite amazing, this book is good because the person was in a coma for 7 days by an extremely damaging and rare bacteria that destroyed his brain and he wasnt ever expected to return to life and if so he would have stayed in a vegetable state forever, but he came back and wrote an amazing book about what he experienced in the afterlife.

Whenever I hear about the extreme myseries that plague our world and the nastyness of our leaders and the entire humanity, I listen to a near death experience and know that the afterlife is the real world.

I hope you enjoy it, when you read it and share your thoughts about it here.

Heaven even if it were real is not a place it is a state of consciousness.

Yes its real, this book and other NDE show it. In the end nobody of us knows, it might be a state of consciousness, nonetheless you will encounter dead relatives and everything is totally different than here on earth.

But what I am saying is that these NDE accounts bring more depth into the state of being after death than I heard of psychedelics so far.

These experiences are quite old, there were explanations too. But I feel the experience is primary thing here, instead of how the person coming out of it tries to explain it through religious or other language. 

However, at it's core the person comes out of it as "content" with life. They call this "contentment" peace or some use more profound expressions like bliss or happiness. But ultimately it doesn't matter what they remember or how they describe it. I mean description is after the fact and will always be an approximation, and would be limited to the persons ability with language and life. what matters is the experience itself and how such an experience impacts the person. So when they invoke religious language and similar stuff, it's just their attempt to describe what they experienced.

I feel what happens basically is that the person gets a rather intimate experience of "death", A lot of agony that people go through in life is because of how they relate psychologically with death and suffering, one gets conditioned to this suffering, somehow and lives life in a kind of "hiding" from death, it's a hiding of the psyche or self. 

While people with these profound experience go through realize that there is nothing to fear or hide from, Once you are open emotionally to whatever feeling or sensation you are feeling life could be very different.
