Dr. Eben Alexander, a long time taught at Harvard and who had to earn his reputation as a neurosurgeon, as I remembered, considered himself a Christian, but never believed in the existence of an afterlife, and even sympathized with those who believed that somewhere out there is a God who loves us unconditionally.
"As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon of "out-of-body experience". I grew up in an academic environment, I am the son of a neurosurgeon. Following in the footsteps of his father, I became an academician and a neurosurgeon, he taught at Harvard medical school and other universities. I understand what happens to the brain when people are on the verge of death, so I always believed that there is a reasonable scientific explanation to travel outside the body, which describe people, narrowly escaped death," he told Newsweek.
However, everything changed after the man in the autumn of 2008 he himself fell into a coma. Just when Alexander the week was on the verge of life and death, and the cortex of his brain responsible for thought and emotions, ceased to function, he, in his own words, he made the journey to the afterlife and, in particular, in Paradise.
In accordance with this medical understanding of the brain and mind to imagine that I was in a coma was at least a limited consciousness, and not something that was done very bright and the whole journey is simply impossible, noted neurosurgeon. There is no scientific explanation that despite the fact that the body was in a coma, and the cortex of my brain has switched off, the brain continued to work and, moreover, went to another, much larger Universe - dimension, the existence of which I never knew existed".
The doctor stressed that, in General, the mystical dimension, which he visited, like the numerous descriptions of people who have experienced clinical death or other border States. According to him, it is literally a new world in which we are much more than just our body and our brain, and where death is not the end of conscious existence, but only some of the endless journey.
Able to describe the clinical and looks this amazing world. He said that his journey began with the fact that he was floating somewhere high in the clouds, and soon saw a "transparent, shimmering beings, flying across the sky and leaving a long, similar to line the tracks." In addition, these beings were issued awesome sounds like a beautiful song, and, as it seemed to the man, so they expressed their joy and grace with them. However, neither bird nor angels, Alexander does not dare to compare them - they were too different to anything existing on our planet. These were some of the highest creation, he said.
One of these creatures is unknown young woman joined him, and became his guide in the mystical universe. While the appearance of his fair companion Alexander remembered in detail - she had dark blue eyes, Golden-brown hair, in braids, and high cheekbones. The woman's dress was simple, but beautiful and bright - pale blue, blue and peach color.
With her, as with other similar beings, the neurosurgeon told without words - messages passed through it and were like the wind. He brought even one of the speeches, told him the mystical woman. "You love and you cherish forever. You have nothing to fear. There is nothing that you can do wrong, " she said. - We will show you many things. But in the end you will come back".
She gradually brought the doctor in "the huge gap, where it was completely dark, but felt infinity, and it was very nice". Now Alexander believes that this emptiness was the house of God".
Soon the man woke up. But now, having experienced the journey in the afterlife, he is in no hurry to share his experience with his colleagues, but finds solace in the Church. Also the man wrote the book "the neurosurgeon's Journey into the afterlife", which should see the light at the end of October.
"I'm still a doctor, and still remain a man of science, - says Alexander. But on a deeper level I am very different from the person he was before, because I saw this new picture of reality"
