Recommended For those that may be interested in this subject matter, I mention a book that I recently finished. The title of this book is "Proof of Heaven" written by Eben Alexander M.D. This book deals with NDE (Near Death Experience) from the perspective of a neurosurgeon that experienced his brain crash due to bacterial (E Coli) meningitis. The author, due to his scientific background, had previously been a skeptic of accounts of NDE occurrences prior to his own personal experience. His account approaches the matter from a more supportable basis due to his knowledge of the human brain and the associated nervous system. If you read this or have read this please share your thoughts on the material presented. |

Haven't read this one but I recently read a similar one written by an orthopedic surgeon who had a NDE. To Heaven and Back by Mary C Neal. On a humorous note I was reading it while waiting for my companion to come out of surgery and realized that that might not have been the best of choices as others in the waiting room looked at me strangely.

Can't say I've ever had what I might call a "Near Death Experience", (altho some folks may) but twice in my life I was in dire health situations, and I laid still drifting off with the belief I was dying. I reviewed some of the info online about NDEs, and they commonly describe a very relaxed and peaceful state of being. I can attest to that. Both times in my life when it happened, as I drifted off I knew (obviously erroneously) that I was dying. It didn't feel like I was "ending" or "losing" life. It felt like I was moving on to some other existence, and I was confident that it would be a more pleasant one. They will never be able to prove life after death, or disprove it. So I believe, because I can't suffer by holding to either view, and this life is more pleasant if I anticipate another to follow. It's a choice one makes. GBU, Gavin

NDEs seem to be more involved than what you describe. I personally have experienced one and it was quite different than your description. The book that I mentioned seems to be different than the typical "ordinary person" in that the brain of the author had totally crashed (read as being non functioning) for a period of seven days. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the topic. GBU, Gavin

 The book you recommend sounds interesting, as well as your own experience. Would like to read it. Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)
