Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

Being a scientist Eben Alexander never practiced religious belief and did not believe that near death experiences could occur. Alexander thought of near-death experiences as an illusion that felt real but did not actually occur. One late night in the year 2008, Alexander woke up with a severe headache and did not think anything of it. In the moment, Alexander said to his wife that he’s a doctor and he knew nothing seriously was wrong with him. The next morning, he was rushed to the hospital, where he spent seven days in a meningitis induced coma. Once he had woken up from his coma, Alexander was told that he had suffered from a very rare form of meningitis, bacterial meningitis, and his recovery was a miracle. During the seven days of his coma, Alexander claims that he experienced the afterlife and he met and spoke with God. This afterlife experience proved to Alexander that consciousness is autonomous from the brain. After this experience, Alexander now began to believe in life after death, religion, and the soul. This journey is revolutionary considering it happened to someone who did not believe in any religion or life after death. He is now teaching people that it is through this belief in religion, the soul and the afterlife that true health can be attained. [
