Eben Alexander – författare

Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies More…produced by brains under extreme stress. Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself. Alexander’s story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition. This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.

In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander’s brain was attacked by a devastating illness, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. While appearing to be at death’s door, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness, encountering profound truths about God and the soul. For the past eight years, Dr. Alexander has been trying to reconnect with the state of oneness that he felt during his near-death experience. And finally, he has discovered a path. Living in a Mindful Universe presents a groundbreaking new view of consciousness, based on years of study, cutting-edge research, and Dr. Alexander’s extraordinary experiences since his NDE. He has found that it is possible to to access higher realms of consciousness and the Divine Love of the universe—without suffering medical trauma. Through meditation and other stimuli, we can discover an inner stillness deep enough to connect with the Divine. It is this connection that Dr. Alexander experienced, and with Living in a Mindful Universe he teaches others to get there. Great thinkers have admitted that creative insights come from outside of themselves. Thomas Edison, Salvador Dali, Nicola Tesla—revelations came in a flash when they opened their minds. Dr. Alexander is a surgeon, a skeptic, and a rationalist. He’s the last person to tell you to reject science, and alongside spiritual techniques, he offers research that supports the existence of a collective consciousness and the benefits of meditative practices.
