Near Death Experience
A near-death experience (NDE) is the conscious, semi-conscious or recollected experience of someone who is approaching or has temporarily begun the process of dying. NDEs are intensely vivid and often life-transforming experiences that occur under extreme physiological conditions such as trauma, ceasing of brain activity, deep general anesthesia or cardiac arrest. Research shows that near-death experiences come in four types: emotional, cognitive, spiritual and religious experiences, and supernatural.
A Neurosurgeon's Journey Throught the Afterlife | Dr. Eben Alexander NDE Story
​
In the video, Dr. Eben Alexander shares his profound near-death experience (NDE) and its transformative impact on his beliefs and understanding of consciousness. Formerly an atheist neurosurgeon, Alexander's experience during a bout with meningitis altered his scientific perspective, leading him to explore and accept concepts of spiritual and eternal existence, which he had previously dismissed. His NDE revealed a complex spiritual reality where time and space operate differently, and consciousness persists beyond physical death. This revelation is detailed in his book "Proof of Heaven," which not only influenced public perceptions of NDEs but also helped individuals, including Alexander's initially skeptical husband, reconcile with concepts of an afterlife and a higher consciousness.
