Biography of Eben Alexander
As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon of near-death experiences.
Tags: PhenomenonI grew up in a scientific world, the son of a neurosurgeon.
Tags: Scientific, SonOur spirit is not dependent on the brain or body. It is eternal, and no one has one sentence worth of hard evidence that it isn't.
Tags: Brain, Hard, WorthThere is no scientific explanation for the fact that while my body lay in coma, my mind - my conscious, inner self - was alive and well.
Tags: Fact, Mind, SelfI understand what happens to the brain when people are near death, and I had always believed there were good scientific explanations for the heavenly out-of-body journeys described by those who narrowly escaped death.
Tags: Brain, Death, GoodI'm not the first person to have discovered evidence that consciousness exists beyond the body. Brief, wonderful glimpses of this realm are as old as human history.
