My guess is that your daughter was very likely a highly advanced soul who incarnated for your growth in love, you must also have a VERY STRONG SOUL to have accepted a rebirth into life experience associated with this immeasurable pain. It is a blessing to share this earth with you.
I had a near death experience 21 years ago. There is not a day that I don’t flash back to what I witnessed and who I saw. I will never fear death again because I know what and who is waiting for me. A feeling of pure love. If your body temp was 98.6 and the air was exactly the same, and the light was the brightest you had ever seen but you didn’t need to shield your eyes, if the colors were more vivid than you had ever seen, if your family members including your pets were now young again and if you had zero feeling of pain, as if you were part of a cloud, then this is heaven. And this is exactly what I experienced.
What an incredible testimony ! This is the first time I'm hearing anyone speak of pets. Have you shared any writings of your experience? If so I'd love to read them. Sincerely, Kari
I’ve only recently came to turns that god is there within us , and it’s the most beautiful feeling. He has his ways , ways that can’t really be explained to us right now but will all be clear within good time. God is a father , a person to go to when feeling empty. He is all loving. May god bless every person that is reading this right now , and every person who is going through a tough time.❤️
"...his ways , ways that can’t really be explained to us right now" Yahuah has shown us His Ways very specifically with the Torah ( Genesis - Revelations) preached by the messengers and prophets and through magnified and fully preached by His own son Yahushua who is the WAY ( Torah made flesh) to the Father. Deu 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. Deu 30:12 It is not in shamayim, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to shamayim ( pw heaven), and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? Deu 30:14 But the word (Torah) is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Eben does not know or keep the Torah but preaches a false 'god".

That is absolute none sense, if Giod is real he is a sadistic monster. What about al;l those starving children in Africa who pray and get nothing? It's well understood how these beliefs came about out of ignorance and incredulity
After my grandma passed away, during those few weeks, every time I went to her house I smelt her scent which is the same smell when she was in hospital. It's like she was there but in invisible form. The scent came close to me even when our car hadn't turned into the lane in her front yard. I asked other people if they smell the scent, and the answers were all no. I was the only one able to smell it. When I was a child, my grandma was the only sunshine I had. My mom was very abusive. She beat me often. Even a trivial tiny little thing can trigger her crazy mode. She even tried to murder me a few times. I'm lucky to be still alive. I was always hoping my dad to stop my mom, but it'd never happened. It turned out my dad cares about nothing in the family because of his many affairs. My grandma was my protector in my childhood, and I really believe she did it on purpose after her passed away to let me know there is something out there. Don't give up, despite the fact that your life is full of assholes.
It saddens me reading your story. It's unfortunate people project their relationship frustrations on their kids who have no blame and never ask to be born in the first place. Sending you a bear hug from Europe
Music for the last 24 hours I’ve been particularly depressed but then decided to listen to music for the last few hours and I feel so much better ... music must be one of the mechanisms that connects us to our spiritual sense.

I'm a born again Christian and I believe there is a heaven and a hell, and having a wonderful prayer life worshipping and talking to JESUS every day.... I have a fear of GOD and live every day like it's my last(whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow, for what is your life? It is even a vapour that appears for a little time and than vanishes away) James 4:14
Hi Sarina, as someone who's been a Christian for more than twenty years, I can confidently tell you that Hell is a lie. There is not a single soul that will end up in an eternal hell.
NDE's gave me the answers religion didn't/couldn't. My free will brought me right we're I'm suppose to be. We're ALL loved no matter what one believes and this is what humanity is seeing in these NDE's, Regression therapy...No judgement, No sin, No hell...The evidence is to overwhelming! This is truly exciting!
I feel this is misleading. Eternity is all about Jesus and His death and resurrection. We need forgiveness and to receive Gods grace. Love is many different things. We can love ourselves and strive for selfish gains. The only good love is God's love. If our lives rest in God then that love is selfless. If everything we do is to honour God, that is God's love. We are all loved by God, that's true but we can only reach God through Jesus.
@@bygrace24 Misleading? Your either young or in denial Grace. Look at the History of 'The Church' Grace. Million murdered, The Greed, The kids...Misleading, Yup! But who is misleading whom Grace? There is more Divinity, Grace, Love...in these NDE's than anything I have read in the Bible. Now who's doing the misleading here?
Dr Alexander your story is absolutely wonderful I am so happy that you are sharing your story and the experiences from your NDE this is knowledge that needs to be shared with the world I am so happy that you have decided to share what you have learned with the world thank you for giving us a reason to move forward beyond religion
It is amazing that now more MD doctors and some scientists realized this conscious world. We need more of these kind of people wake up knowing the real truth. Otherwise this world’s conscious will continue staying low.
God bless Eben and others like himself who spread the loving truth of God! Knowing that God is love is so comforting. Even if we may not understand why somethings happen we can be sure that God does and He operates on Love.
I lost my father at 99 years osage, just months shy of his 100th birthday, on August 20th of this year. I had been his full-time carer for 12 years. He died in my arms at hospital. His death was so peaceful to almost be imperceptible, I was not sure that he had gone as I still held him. During the last week of his life, a change had come over him. It was a change much the same I witnessed in my late mother leading up to her transitioning in 2005. Wisdom - the wisdom of Love! - was at work in them and I felt not alone at all as the way was prepared for both my parents to leave me, my father who had become my son especially. I am convinced that during my father's final days, when the frailest of thoughts gave to each of us our strength to accept the inevitable, my father's love for me as he expressed it was my Father's love. It was pure, untainted by any aspect of the life spanning 99 years to which it had bore witness, a thing more seemingly divine so seamlessly real. And so, for whatever it is worth, I can offer the following: We come into this world so to take leave of it, born to die but only our bodies for does the rest of us, what is the best of us, lives on. On and on and on. Although we might not first realize it upon entering this life save what memories they do carry us forward, not one of us can avoid the inevitable frailties made to order we all shall feel. Yet within the slackening pace we face, Love's power will prove our only strength, whatever the length of our days. Only Life sets the limits Love alone seeks to transcend, that whatever it is you feel bound by will you move beyond. Just as there are only two states either Love or fear, have we equally only two dynamics to choose from, although they themselves are not equal, our weakness or our strength. Love is strong; the light of it long-reaching but weakness it ever recedes. Under Love's reign no pain is left unhealed, not even the grief we feel as much of Grace when the face of one we love fades out before our sight, the pall of night now near it falls sometimes to stall then start again. But no! Nothing is forever gone, and certainly not to those who live so wisely no miserly thought can overcome them. In good stead they redeem the world and all its glory, glad are they who are as Love originally created them. And so it is that regardless of what you think and even more, regardless of what you see and feel yield not yourself unto it, not unless through the eyes of Love whose vision it is your God to you, the invisible appears just as real.
I totally agree with Dr. Alexander. I do yoga and meditation every morning. I see, hear or have a knowing of the things to come... It brings me so much peace or sometimes it can be a little scary... My son was in a coma at the age of 16 from a traumatic brain injury. He told me months later that he saw my deceased nephew who passed away at the age of 15, holding a door shut... Saying "it's not time, go back". 🙏
Who do I contact for Yoga and meditation? My husband pass away last November and it sucked the life out of me but I need to get better for my children and grandchildren. Thank you so much in advance. Barbara Bernard
@@neilsonbernard1419 I would start by Googling local yoga classes/studios in your area; I think there are some instructors who also do meditation, but failing that, there are plenty of guided meditations on UA-cam and pre-recorded CDs you can use at home. Im sorry for your loss, but I hope my suggestions were helpful for you.
Whatever you think of what Dr. Alexander relates, this much is true: he had an amazing experience which changed the direction of his already very promising career. It was of such impact that it completely changed his life's direction, that's truly amazing to me. He comes across as very believable, I'm sure he's accurately relating what he experienced. Whether it reflects the true nature of reality is a matter of opinion, of course. But he's a compelling witness for something beyond this reality.
I think what sets him apart from everyone, is he studied the human neuro system, and he has a deep understanding of the brain and how powerful it really is. Him calling it a filter makes scary sense, if you think about people experiencing DMT.
This is what we all need to hear, ponder, and grasp ourselves, more often. As Dr. Eben speaks to this pastor, there is a strong conviction in this conversation, of the reality of a loving, Sovereign God-who is able to rescue and save our souls! There is no reality grander, no human endeavor more urgent, in its acknowledgment and its expression, than to express with utmost gratitude that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. Incidentally, the bright Light that Dr. Eben saw, serves to prove the testimony of John, in John 1, which describes Jesus Christ as: (1) "the true light that enlightens every man," and, (2) as the "light which shines in the darkness, which the darkness has not overcome." I, for one, always rejoice in the revelations that NDE's can bring, especially when the Sovereignty of Jesus is expressed. --[B.A.R.]
Thank You Dr Eben Alexander, your insight has given me purpose in my life No matter, how bad my life became Ill remember you for your insight in my life
God has no religion! I'm spiritual but not religious. I love Jesus as spiritual leader but religions all of them made separation between people on earth by they are right and another are not etc.. *God* bless you all
Jesus did not identify Himself as a spiritual leader, though, He said He is God; that He came to redeem us. So either He was insane, or He was the Son of God; there is no third option.
God is love, we are to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, we cannot begin to do that until we come to faith in Christ...to not know Christ means when we die, we die lost

I had one when I was 18 years old car accident. It was simply a life review time was warped I saw my life myyoung life god I think it was god tshowed me how I could be kinder to people smile more tell people I love them he especially guided me to love my brother Steve. Which I have done I am 70 years oldnow.old now. Please note what this Dr describes as a life review was spot on thatswhat I experienced. Note I only had the life review then bam I was back0
Agree, it would be bizarre if it was : 1)Humans are material objects with a complex neural network in the brain. 2)When the body breaks somehow, life and consciousness ends. 3)Your body rots in the ground to be eaten by maggots and worms. THE END. I've thought about life after death and ever since. I really hope that these NDEs are "real". Otherwise it is just too nonsensical.
@@RiemannHypothesis2 well certainly there is no compelling evidence that complex neural networks generate consciousness. this seems the most "logical" concept to most scientists, but i am yet to be convinced by the materialist's argument. If people are having out of body experiences with ultra lucid perception and meeting deceased relatives this suggests to me it is more than hallucination. however, it could have something to do with the flood of DMT into the brain at the point of death which apparently gives people a sense of detachment from the body and travelling to other worlds. who knows. it certainly brings comfort.
Study Biocentrism and the microtubules in our brains, which hold the light in the folds of our brains... Sir Roger Penrose, Dr. Robert Lanza and Stuart Hameroff back these concepts up.
6:40 I can completely relate to this sentiment. Although my spouse and I are technically still together, he calls my belief in the spiritual realms "complete Woowoo". I coded and was clinically dead for 2 hrs in January 2021, and my interests, life beliefs, core values, etc...have ALL shifted. His have not shifted alongside that, and it is currently causing A LOT of turmoil in our marriage. Not that we had a perfect marriage before, but we were much more in synch than we are now. Very frustrating at times.
While I don’t think anyone can “know” what reality is, with 100% certainty, I don’t think spiritual beliefs are woo-woo and I’m sorry it’s causing a rift in your marriage. Have you had a sit down discussion with him, about learning to accept how the experience changed you? I’m not sure how he feels about your shift in interests as a whole. Maybe it scares him on some level. But he ought to be able to respect your beliefs, or at least respectfully agree to disagree.
@ShintogaDeathAngel // well said. I will note that after much research regarding Dr. Alexander, I know him now to be a total fraud, but regardless... I'm still a believer in what her husband calls "whoo-whoo". I believe we do go on after death and not afraid to leave this physical plane. I thought you answered her perfectly, so I just thought I'd tell you while adding by own beliefs about Alexander....lol. If people could just agree to disagree.
Dr. Eben Alexander's experience showed human consciousness "collapses the wave function" to create "hard reality." Our consciousness is a work of cocreation, a concept that continually popped up in my poetry, seemingly out of thin air. Our bodies are mortal, but our spirit is Immortal--Then I discovered my poetry was Gnostic, but I had not known what Gnosticism was about. Then I began to understand the “dazzling darkness” I had witnessed in meditation, and the weird poetry many found so evocative. More details in my second book, Surviving the Micronova: This Train is on the Tracks"
Jesus is the only way to the Father. While somewhat reassuring, Dr. Alexander’s testimony is devoid of any reference to Jesus, His word, or His judgment. It essentially impeaches the Bible. I don’t doubt Dr. Alexander’s conviction, but I trust word of God in the Bible a LOT more than one man’s passing experience.
I was attacked in a hotel. 6hrs of my life I can't remember, only the moments before and the moments after the attack, which seemed to be consequently, until I looked at my watch. Even though my head was being smashed against a door frame front on, I felt no pain, no fear, I could only see. No knowledge existed of the reality with which we live. No awareness is the best way to put it. Like a baby before the slap on it's butt. My body was shutting down, I was doing and had no idea because you have no idea to have an idea. The only pain I felt was near my belly button, it was so intense. My body, without thought or instruction escaped to get on the toilet. I got there and placed my head between my knees. I heard a calm, feminine voice softly whisper one word... "breathe". It didn't come through my ear or from inside my head, it came from somewhere else straight their the crown of my head. It was external. I took the biggest breath of my entire life. THEN and ONLY THEN, did I have any awareness. I was extremely exhausted, like I'd ust given birth multiple times and then ran a marathon to do it all over again. It took several hrs for total awareness to return to me. What happened to me was terrible, but I KNOW there's more to existence than this reality and we are mind, body & soul (true consciousness).
@Gripen Draken You need a serious checkup of your brain activity. Sure some abnormal hyperactivity there is leading you to make aggressive posts out of context.

I had a NDE as a child because that female that was supposed to be my mother was so unhappy, so vicious, so distant. I was terribly hated for saying 'THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS DEATH". In my 20s I found quantum physics that says nothing is physical or solid. Turns out those billion dollar energy colliders built around the world never find solidity, only energy. Tesla said this when he said existence is energy. Energy can't die because it is constantly spinning and vibrating and pulsating. This means all of us. We all consist of 7 billion billion billion atoms, each one spinning billions of times a second as quarks burst forth spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light forming protons and neutrons. This proves the constant creation of everything as light, a matrix of light that is eternal, a holodeck where we are holograms within it being projected. So creation is constant and we can't die because we are constantly being created. Will anyone but the physicist Barbara Brennan ever understand this? I can't ever be married until I meet a man that understands all of this.
Our energy is transferred into another form... For certain we become Heat energy after we die at the very least... Anything else, possibly into a being of light energy/pure consciousness?
@@Excalibur2112 When the physicist Kenneth Ford wrote that quarks are bursting forth spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light forming protons and neutrons -- what does this say to you?
I love what you wrote and Tesla's quote is wonderful to consider. I'm curious as to why you say you can't marry a man who doesn't understand this as you do?
@@Iamvictormaria Who would I talk to? Marriage is about support and excitement over the same subjects. In my 20s I learned how to heal myself and others super fast. But there was no one around me to describe this to. You don't know how cruel people can be when they don't understand what you say.
Sometimes, science and religion work against one another -- when they work against one another, it is only because they are doing their very best to learn how to work together to seek answers to solve human problems. Science and religion are both seeking answers. Science is seeking the truth. Religion is seeking the truth. Science and Religion are very much like Yin and Yang. Science and religion are very similar, even if they are so different. Science and religion can reach common ground and express the same truth. We have to learn to co-exist and cooperate. Science does not have a monopoly on the truth. Religion does not have a monopoly on the truth. We have to be open to the truth, and the truth exists in all areas of life and in all disciplines of knowledge. We must keep an open mind in our search for the truth. We can all be right, and we can all be wrong. It is all a matter of perspective. We can have two opposing views, and both views can be correct at the same time.
I think I understand why only 10 percent of our Brain is in use. If we had the full use of our brain we would know and understand how and why we are here and that restriction is part of our process to learn and grow as just a human.
Jesus didn’t teach reincarnation he taught resurrection. There is a big difference between them. Reincarnation is coming back as something else and resurrection is being raised back to life as yourself in spirit without flesh and blood. No one with flesh and bones can enter heaven but your soul, which your conscience is part of.
Guys, I have the best news! I may have been to Heaven, before, when I (almost) died, and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a beautiful valley, filled with trees, grass, flowers, animals (such as butterflies), waterfalls, and more. Dr. Eben Alexander went to Heaven in his coma, recognized someone he saw in his coma later and this person had been deceased for a long time. They had never even met. Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only change form! We are made of energy! We never cease to exist! And we're always aware! I remember being under general anesthesia when I was getting my wisdom teeth out. It was black the whole time, but that's okay! The brain does not create consciousness/awareness. There is also no such thing as nothingness, and you're always seeing something. Consciousness/awareness exists in the universe, outside the brain, and has always existed, even before we were born. Consciousness will continue to exist for all of eternity. Even if it's black for a while, it won't be black forever. And even if it is, you'll be fine! The dark is nothing to fear! Consciousness/awareness pervades in the universe! There is in fact something after death, either you go to Heaven, you come back as a ghost, or you reincarnate. There is a period of time where everything is black, but it's only temporary! The fact that I saw "black" instead of true nothingness means I wasn't truly unconscious! Consciousness/awareness cannot be destroyed! Dr. Eben Alexander remembered seeing Heaven in a coma when his brain activity was next to none (not enough that he should have been conscious!) In fact, he even recognized someone in a photo months after his coma that he saw in his coma that he had never even met before. This person had been deceased for several months, maybe even a few years! Good news, right? It means there really is life after death! There's such a thing as reduced consciousness/awareness, but true unconsciousness/complete lack of awareness is impossible! The darkness you experience after death is only temporary. I also remember being under general anesthesia in the hospital, and I could see and hear everything around me, despite the fact that I was completely out. It means my spirit was outside my body and I was having an out-of-body experience. I was astral projecting, and my consciousness/awareness was still there, outside my brain! All of this means life after death, heaven, ghosts, reincarnation, God, etc., are REAL! Great news! Being unconscious, at least in medical standards, means to be unresponsive. It doesn't mean you're not aware in some way or form. Many people think general anesthesia knocks you completely unconscious. However, this is not true. Our awareness exists in the universe, outside the brain, has always existed, and continues to exist for all of eternity. General anesthesia works by *interrupting nerve signals in the brain and body.* It does not knock you out completely, in fact, like I said, consciousness/awareness cannot be destroyed. According to an article I read, EVERYTHING is made of energy, including thoughts, consciousness, feelings, and even the human body! And energy CANNOT BE DESTROYED! This means I was right about the fact that we never cease to exist! In fact, NOTHING ceases to exist! Ever! The energy that lives within us does not disappear after death, even when everything goes black temporarily. Our energy simply gets rearranged! A few quotes from the article I found include: -Common forms of energy include solid mass or as non-solid matter, such as heat, light, electrical, sound, gravitational, potential (stored energy) and kinetic (energy of motion). Quantum physics states that mass and energy are interchangeable, and consequently that mass is merely a manifestation of energy. This means that everything, including humans, is simply energy stored in mass particle form. -According to the theories associated with the universal energy field. all matter and psychological processes - thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes - are composed of energy. When applied to the human body, every atom, molecule, cell, tissue and body system is composed of energy that when superimposed on each other create what is known as the human energy field. -From an energy medicine perspective, energyrefers to subtle, imperceptible forces frequently described as a vital force or life force that flows through the body. Since all matter and psychological processes - thought, beliefs, emotions, and consciousness - are composed of energy, the physical body is therefore the manifestation or representation of an energy field made of superimposed dynamic segments of vibration. -Nothing rests. Everything vibrates. Everything, in some subtle way, moves. Ceasing to exist after death? Our consciousness disappearing? Unconsciousness, even temporarily? Hah! Not a chance! Also, (what I am about to tell you is great news for people who don't believe!) I can say with utmost confidence that the teaching of eternal torment in Hell is a lie. It is a false teaching that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit because it implies that God is sadistically cruel and vindictive when in fact he is the exact opposite. He is loving, kind, caring, forgiving, omnipresent, and omnipotent. God IS Love! Now, to talk about it in more detail, we first need to know the origin of this blasphemous teaching. This teaching comes from a mistranslation of the word "Sheol", which simply means the state or abode of the dead. It also comes from a mistranslation of "Gehenna", which is a literal garbage dump outside the state and city of Jerusalem. Another misinterpretation is that of an "eternal fire." Eternal fire means a fire that has eternal consequences, not one that doesn't go out. A city in Israel was "destroyed by an eternal fire", but this fire has gone out. It's just that the fire permanently destroyed said city. There is biblical proof of universal reconciliation, for example, Colossians 1:19-20 (New International Version), which says "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross." The Bible also says that God desires to save everyone. How could people teach something so false, cruel, and blasphemous as a SCARE TACTIC into making someone Christian? It is so wrong! I honestly feel like crying due to a huge mix of emotions, including extreme happiness and excitement, anxiety, and sadness.
Dr. Alexander not only did not mention Jesus, he de-emphasized the “life review,” and characterized this as aide, rather than a judgment. While Dr. Alexander’s testimony is interesting, I TRUST the Bible first and above all else. Any other source in my mind is suspect.
"I didn't have any kind of memory formation from moment to moment, so it seemed to last forever." 17:28 - memory/time/experience so closely linked the eternal now aka forever
I find it interesting when he mentions that the main function of the brain is to restrict what it filters or allows in (i.e., conscious experience) which involves the self and the non-self. This is an aspect proposed by latter day depression treatment where clinicians are suggesting that psychedelics can be of therapeutic value as they also impact this part of consciousness known as the DMN, default mode network, or that filter which basically gives us our ego or our personality. When this neural network can be overridden or subdued, theoretically this results in ego-death which may explain the sense of amnesia the doctor reported. When your DMN is no longer in control, other experiences can be allowed to occur. This may be augured by a naturally occurring compound in the brain that is released upon physical death (several stages of death to even go into) that are supposed to assuage the disconnected consciousness into a happy afterlife. Shamans have used the psychedelic ayahuasca, which is said to have a similar chemical structure to that of the brain compounds released upon death. These compounds are thought to be directly involved in NDEs (reports of visions during coma or near death experiences where the conscious goes to before the physical body is revived back to life).
have you heard of DMT? i read a book about experiences of people injected with DMT under scientific observation. there is no doubt in my mind that DMT and the NDE are strongly linked. I am not suggesting the NDE is an illusion brought on my DMT, but I think DMT plays a part in the expansion of consciousness at the point of death. The only thing I am confused about is when people are given anaesthesia they have a sense of their consciousness disappearing to the point where they black out. so i am confused why anaesthetic drugs would do this to consciousness. if consciousness is a separate entity then in theory anaesthesia should not affect a person's awareness, but it does. what are your thoughts on this?
@@Dion_MustardThe effects of anesthesia upon consciousness is an interesting subject area. If the mix is correct the effect is akin to nodding out into deep sleep. But there are sometimes complications, and people have reported being totally paralyzed but not fully unconscious before an operation
@@kennethyoung5155 this doesn't answer my question i put to you about anesthesia and consciousness. why does injecting a substance into your vein make you "lose" consciousness IF consciousness is a separate entity? do you believe anaesthesia dissolves consciousness itself, or merely disrupts the pathways in the brain which allow consciousness to operate? please give me your opinion on this.....
@@Dion_MustardConsciousness nor awareness fully shut off during anesthesia, nor sleep, nor death. "Loss of consciousness" appears simple for the layperson but is really not, nor is death. "His eyes are closed and he is sleeping therefore he must be unconscious" is a standard observation and on one level of perception this is a true deduction. But I argue that pharmakos can only dull one level of perceptual awareness (5x5 sensory). IOWs, anesthesia does not dissolve all levels of consciousness. Anesthesia disallows recollection based on limited reception in the 5x5 repository, but consciousness still lives outside of physical perception. Your eyes are closed when you are sleeping and you will not typically recall everything 5x5 in your environment. And yet many people will awake moments before the clock alarm...how does this occur if they are totally unconscious? I think what we have here is a fuzzy line in describing what is consciousness, and because humans like simplicity, gray areas do not register for most.
Zooming out you suddenly become aware that all of this is happening on a TV screen - an epic space opera playing out for someone’s entertainment. But the actors don’t know they’re actors. To them, this galactic orgy is as real as real gets.
I've listened to a lot of NDE survivors and they always say something opposite of what we perceived as reality. The real world is the spiritual world and the material world we live is the illusion.
I find his experience absolutely enthralling...could listen to him talk all day about his experience and I personally believe in continuation of consciousness beyond death, but a couple of things stick out to me about what he said which I sometimes question. He talks about how consciousness expands at the point of death, but often, for instance when someone is rendered unconscious, their consciousness does the opposite, and they just "black out", so I wonder why this happens if consciousness expands when brain ceases to work. Another example is anaesthesia. When the substance is put into your vein you begin to "close down" and suddenly oblivion, so I wonder why consciousness doesn't do the opposite during anaesthesia. So many questions, but ultimately I believe his experience was a genuine one, and I am enthralled by the concept of "non-local" consciousness.
@Andrew Holster very good points. another notion is that when people die they sometimes briefly fall into a state of "oblivion" before ascending to a higher altered state of consciousness.
Religion will never accept this man's testimony as long as they embrace Christology as a paradigm for faith and eternal life. Oneness is the gateway to God and God alone is our true identity. Christology is that which points identity away from the self and its religious attachments. Christology as a role and function points to God or that which is ultimate.
How are you going to accept this guys story if you are a Christian? His story is completely against the teachings of Jesus. Be wary of wolves in sheep's clothing. Be very wary of anyone who tells you they seen heaven and or hell.
Miracles do happen, God can heal you completely. Is up to God if you come out from an impossible situation, car crash, heart attack, braind dead, etc. When his not ready for you... I love his testimony.
He never died. Claiming he experienced death is just wrong. He cannot prove he died and everything that happened to him corresponds with the experiences of a living brain.
@Gripen Draken "That's because consciousness is SEPARATE from the body, YOU FREAKING MORON! " Such passion. And your evidence for this assertion is? And the authoritative wise guy you quote is?
@Gripen Draken Hello random shouty man. You claimed the soul is separate from the body. That's makes it your job to prove YOUR assertion, not mine. See you in 5 months.
I saw Him in the blinding white light in my NDE 20 years ago. I can guarantee you, I didn't want to return. My fears and anxiety of death were completely removed. It completely transforms you for the better.
@@Zero-ep1rp I heard Heaven is available to anyone, even wrongdoers... Its more of a matter of choosing to reject Heaven to not being welcomed... I also heard that no prior religion is required either... This is from a girl on YT who spoke to Jesus after having an NDE... She said, Jesus told her we are like gods in training! She also said that Jesus loves EVERYONE... Even bad and mentally ill people.
His NDE is unique in that, unlike other NDES, he was amnesiac during the 7 days of coma, which means he didn't have any memory of his life on earth. That makes me uneasy and less confident on the consciousness independent from brain or any part of body. Doesn't it possibly imply that his consciousness during his NDE was somehow under the influence of his brain function which was so much damaged by meningitis?
Since the other comments where off here I go. There is a hell and heaven. With out Christ there is hell. If you believe in Jesus there is heaven. That simple.
@@robertderkach650 I agree and I no longer believe in everlasting punishment in hell for the lost. Total destruction in the Lake of Fire maybe, along with Satan and his fallen angels.
I have no idea how many Christians may have watched this video, maybe not many. Because anyone even somewhat familiar with the teachings of Jesus, let alone all of those who are very familiar with the gospels and profess to be worshipers of Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior, who would have found it very strange that a pastor of a supposedly Christian church who didn’t even mention the name of our Lord & Savior to this man? And like Eben Alexander’s answer to the question, “why do we hear so many NDE testimony’s that had hellish experiences?” His explanation was, “maybe they just didn’t get that far yet?” But of all the ones that I’ve heard that had hellish experiences, though not nearly as many as those who didn't. But those who obviously lived to tell about it did get that far, and they also told of being rescued by Jesus. But I do know that some of the most important things that there are to know, (and evidently for whatever reasons, God didn’t let Eben Alexander get that far.) Although, I can guess at a few possible reasons for why he didn’t. But unfortunately, in spite of such an incredibly wonderful and enlightening NDE, I can only suspect that Mr. Alexander’s spiritual upbringing and deeply committed scientific mind may have been somewhat of a stumbling block by getting in his own way. He said that his father was very committed in his belief in God and so it's also possible that he was brought up in the Jewish faith or in some other spiritual Philosophy, but I think it’s safe to assume that whatever it was, it wasn’t Judeo Christian. And as a result, it may have caused him to come to a few conclusions that are very erroneous at best. Because if he had been raised in the Judeo Christian faith he should have already known that Hell & evil are very real and that there are many gods with many names, but only one true God who loves people beyond comprehension. And who allowed his only Son to sacrifice himself on a cross for the forgiveness of all sins, and that whoever might believe this could have life eternal. I shouldn’t suggest that I know the reason for why anyone wouldn't be enlightened to know this, especially someone who had been enlightened to so many wonderful things beyond words to describe. But I can only suspect that it has something to do with pride & free will, and it does make an eternal difference in what God we believe in.
Why is it that people assume because they had an "experience," that it must contain truth? Why don't they wonder if the experience was given to them to instill and accentuate an untruth? As a Bible believer, I have read a lot about the demonic realm and what demons are capable of, which is great deception, unless their intended victim happens to be a saved believer in Jesus Christ and has the Holy Spirit, who will stop any demonic intrusion in its tracks. Eben speaks of hearing the most beautiful and moving music during his vision; and we know from God's word in Ezekiel that Lucifer was created with great beauty and musical talent:
In his book Proof of Heaven, he describes the place that he calls the Core (God) and in this inky black place was a wonderful Being of Light (if I am remembering it right!) and, as I read his description, I thought the Being of Light was probably Jesus
It's really interesting that he says that our human experience of our consciousness is only a "filter"...since that's kinda like how these days people put VR HMDs on their head and it acts as a filter of sorts..that can give them the illusion of being somewhere else in another reality than ours..who knows, he might be right and on to something with this notion.
Frustrating the director of this show doesn't understand camera angles. We're looking at profiles the entire time. Move the close-up camera far left so you're looking at Dr. Eben's face straight on. Hopefully this is fixed in the future (too late now for this interview of course).
I thank father GOD that I will meet my daughter again in heaven. Bless you lord for this privilege and your mercy.
My guess is that your daughter was very likely a highly advanced soul who incarnated for your growth in love, you must also have a VERY STRONG SOUL to have accepted a rebirth into life experience associated with this immeasurable pain. It is a blessing to share this earth with you.
Amen
My mother and father.

Yes you will 😉
I had a near death experience 21 years ago. There is not a day that I don’t flash back to what I witnessed and who I saw. I will never fear death again because I know what and who is waiting for me. A feeling of pure love. If your body temp was 98.6 and the air was exactly the same, and the light was the brightest you had ever seen but you didn’t need to shield your eyes, if the colors were more vivid than you had ever seen, if your family members including your pets were now young again and if you had zero feeling of pain, as if you were part of a cloud, then this is heaven. And this is exactly what I experienced.
What an incredible testimony ! This is the first time I'm hearing anyone speak of pets. Have you shared any writings of your experience? If so I'd love to read them. Sincerely, Kari
@@southernbellekari ok but I don't really like my family and the idea of being on a cloud with them for eternity sounds tremendously boring.

He has his ways , ways that can’t really be explained to us right now but will all be clear within good time. God is a father , a person to go to when feeling empty. He is all loving.

"...his ways , ways that can’t really be explained to us right now" Yahuah has shown us His Ways very specifically with the Torah ( Genesis - Revelations) preached by the messengers and prophets and through magnified and fully preached by His own son Yahushua who is the WAY ( Torah made flesh) to the Father.
Deu 30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
Deu 30:12 It is not in shamayim, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to shamayim ( pw heaven), and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deu 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deu 30:14 But the word (Torah) is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Eben does not know or keep the Torah but preaches a false 'god".

After my grandma passed away, during those few weeks, every time I went to her house I smelt her scent which is the same smell when she was in hospital. It's like she was there but in invisible form. The scent came close to me even when our car hadn't turned into the lane in her front yard. I asked other people if they smell the scent, and the answers were all no. I was the only one able to smell it. When I was a child, my grandma was the only sunshine I had. My mom was very abusive. She beat me often. Even a trivial tiny little thing can trigger her crazy mode. She even tried to murder me a few times. I'm lucky to be still alive. I was always hoping my dad to stop my mom, but it'd never happened. It turned out my dad cares about nothing in the family because of his many affairs. My grandma was my protector in my childhood, and I really believe she did it on purpose after her passed away to let me know there is something out there. Don't give up, despite the fact that your life is full of assholes.
God bless u
@@angalmeida29 Thank you. God bless you too.
im sorry for your loss. a child shouldn't ever have to find another protector. love and light

Music for the last 24 hours I’ve been particularly depressed but then decided to listen to music for the last few hours and I feel so much better ... music must be one of the mechanisms that connects us to our spiritual sense.

Hi Sarina, as someone who's been a Christian for more than twenty years, I can confidently tell you that Hell is a lie. There is not a single soul that will end up in an eternal hell.
@@hemant05 see Bryan Melvin's NDE hell testimony for that answer.
Wow...... I have no words to describe how powerful his testimony has become in my families life. Thank you Eben from the bottom of my heart.
Every interview of this gentleman is a blessing.
NDE's gave me the answers religion didn't/couldn't. My free will brought me right we're I'm suppose to be. We're ALL loved no matter what one believes and this is what humanity is seeing in these NDE's, Regression therapy...No judgement, No sin, No hell...The evidence is to overwhelming! This is truly exciting!
I believe this, too... Its all about frequency, vibration and light energy.
I feel this is misleading. Eternity is all about Jesus and His death and resurrection. We need forgiveness and to receive Gods grace. Love is many different things. We can love ourselves and strive for selfish gains. The only good love is God's love. If our lives rest in God then that love is selfless. If everything we do is to honour God, that is God's love. We are all loved by God, that's true but we can only reach God through Jesus.
@@bygrace24
Misleading? Your either young or in denial Grace. Look at the History of 'The Church' Grace. Million murdered, The Greed, The kids...Misleading, Yup! But who is misleading whom Grace?
There is more Divinity, Grace, Love...in these NDE's than anything I have read in the Bible. Now who's doing the misleading here?
My thoughts exactly.
There's a problem with "glowing review" NDEs as evidenced by Bryan Melvin's NDE.
People can be deceived.
Eben’s story is the most convincing of NDE and helps me a lot with my own questions regarding death.
@@JT-OB Pam Reynolds...
Dr Alexander your story is absolutely wonderful I am so happy that you are sharing your story and the experiences from your NDE this is knowledge that needs to be shared with the world I am so happy that you have decided to share what you have learned with the world thank you for giving us a reason to move forward beyond religion
The world would be infinitely better if we could give everyone an NDE and a taste of unconditional love.
You can do that. It’s called Ayahuasca
You already can do that, it’s called acid
You can allready expirience it, its called heroin.
It is amazing that now more MD doctors and some scientists realized this conscious world. We need more of these kind of people wake up knowing the real truth. Otherwise this world’s conscious will continue staying low.
❤ Thank you so much! Dr. Eben Alexander changed the world.
Facts I’ve watched Dr eben Alexander’s videos for hours now and I love him because when he says something he has proof and evidence
Excellent interview of an intelligent and thoughtful Doctor.
God bless Eben and others like himself who spread the loving truth of God! Knowing that God is love is so comforting. Even if we may not understand why somethings happen we can be sure that God does and He operates on Love.
Thanks for seeking and speaking the ultimate truth. All the best. Dr eben alexander.
I lost my father at 99 years osage, just months shy of his 100th birthday, on August 20th of this year. I had been his full-time carer for 12 years. He died in my arms at hospital. His death was so peaceful to almost be imperceptible, I was not sure that he had gone as I still held him.
During the last week of his life, a change had come over him. It was a change much the same I witnessed in my late mother leading up to her transitioning in 2005. Wisdom - the wisdom of Love! - was at work in them and I felt not alone at all as the way was prepared for both my parents to leave me, my father who had become my son especially.
I am convinced that during my father's final days, when the frailest of thoughts gave to each of us our strength to accept the inevitable, my father's love for me as he expressed it was my Father's love. It was pure, untainted by any aspect of the life spanning 99 years to which it had bore witness, a thing more seemingly divine so seamlessly real. And so, for whatever it is worth, I can offer the following:
We come into this world so to take leave of it, born to die but only our bodies for does the rest of us, what is the best of us, lives on.
On and on and on.
Although we might not first realize it upon entering this life save what memories they do carry us forward, not one of us can avoid the inevitable frailties made to order we all shall feel.
Yet within the slackening pace we face, Love's power will prove our only strength, whatever the length of our days.
Only Life sets the limits Love alone seeks to transcend, that whatever it is you feel bound by will you move beyond.
Just as there are only two states either Love or fear, have we equally only two dynamics to choose from, although they themselves are not equal, our weakness or our strength.
Love is strong; the light of it long-reaching but weakness it ever recedes.
Under Love's reign no pain is left unhealed, not even the grief we feel as much of Grace when the face of one we love fades out before our sight, the pall of night now near it falls sometimes to stall then start again.
But no!
Nothing is forever gone, and certainly not to those who live so wisely no miserly thought can overcome them.
In good stead they redeem the world and all its glory, glad are they who are as Love originally created them.
And so it is that regardless of what you think and even more, regardless of what you see and feel yield not yourself unto it, not unless through the eyes of Love whose vision it is your God to you, the invisible appears just as real.
I totally agree with Dr. Alexander. I do yoga and meditation every morning. I see, hear or have a knowing of the things to come... It brings me so much peace or sometimes it can be a little scary... My son was in a coma at the age of 16 from a traumatic brain injury. He told me months later that he saw my deceased nephew who passed away at the age of 15, holding a door shut... Saying "it's not time, go back". 🙏
Yoga is satanic, some of the poses that you hold is direct tribute to satan, it opens your body to demonic entities
Who do I contact for Yoga and meditation? My husband pass away last November and it sucked the life out of me but I need to get better for my children and grandchildren. Thank you so much in advance.
Barbara Bernard
@@neilsonbernard1419 I would start by Googling local yoga classes/studios in your area; I think there are some instructors who also do meditation, but failing that, there are plenty of guided meditations on UA-cam and pre-recorded CDs you can use at home. Im sorry for your loss, but I hope my suggestions were helpful for you.
Currently, I am worried about eternal oblivion after death, so Dr. Eben Alexander's story about his near death experience gives me hope/reassurance.
Whatever you think of what Dr. Alexander relates, this much is true: he had an amazing experience which changed the direction of his already very promising career. It was of such impact that it completely changed his life's direction, that's truly amazing to me. He comes across as very believable, I'm sure he's accurately relating what he experienced. Whether it reflects the true nature of reality is a matter of opinion, of course. But he's a compelling witness for something beyond this reality.
I think what sets him apart from everyone, is he studied the human neuro system, and he has a deep understanding of the brain and how powerful it really is. Him calling it a filter makes scary sense, if you think about people experiencing DMT.
Totally wonderful interview!!! THANKYOU
This is what we all need to hear, ponder, and grasp ourselves, more often. As Dr. Eben speaks to this pastor, there is a strong conviction in this conversation, of the reality of a loving, Sovereign God-who is able to rescue and save our souls! There is no reality grander, no human endeavor more urgent, in its acknowledgment and its expression, than to express with utmost gratitude that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.
Incidentally, the bright Light that Dr. Eben saw, serves to prove the testimony of John, in John 1, which describes Jesus Christ as: (1) "the true light that enlightens every man," and, (2) as the "light which shines in the darkness, which the darkness has not overcome."
I, for one, always rejoice in the revelations that NDE's can bring, especially when the Sovereignty of Jesus is expressed.

Thank You Dr Eben Alexander, your insight has given me purpose in my life
No matter, how bad my life became Ill remember you for your insight in my life
What is on the other side is HOME, that's where we come from and we just return home.
God has no religion! I'm spiritual but not religious. I love Jesus as spiritual leader but religions all of them made separation between people on earth by they are right and another are not etc..
*God* bless you all
Jesus came here to cause division.
Fact!
Jesus did not identify Himself as a spiritual leader, though, He said He is God; that He came to redeem us. So either He was insane, or He was the Son of God; there is no third option.
God is love, we are to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, we cannot begin to do that until we come to faith in Christ...to not know Christ means when we die, we die lost

I had one when I was 18 years old car accident. It was simply a life review time was warped I saw my life myyoung life god I think it was god tshowed me how I could be kinder to people smile more tell people I love them he especially guided me to love my brother Steve. Which I have done I am 70 years oldnow.old now. Please note what this Dr describes as a life review was spot on thatswhat I experienced. Note I only had the life review then bam I was back0
I was standing in Heaven. I saw Jesus and God the Father in Heaven face to face without near death experience. Glory be to God.
Starts at 2:10. The experience itself at 17:12.
I believe, it can't all be for nothing.
Agree, it would be bizarre if it was :
1)Humans are material objects with a complex neural network in the brain.
2)When the body breaks somehow, life and consciousness ends.
3)Your body rots in the ground to be eaten by maggots and worms.
THE END.
I've thought about life after death and ever since. I really hope that these NDEs are "real". Otherwise it is just too nonsensical.
@@RiemannHypothesis2 well certainly there is no compelling evidence that complex neural networks generate consciousness. this seems the most "logical" concept to most scientists, but i am yet to be convinced by the materialist's argument. If people are having out of body experiences with ultra lucid perception and meeting deceased relatives this suggests to me it is more than hallucination. however, it could have something to do with the flood of DMT into the brain at the point of death which apparently gives people a sense of detachment from the body and travelling to other worlds. who knows. it certainly brings comfort.
Study Biocentrism and the microtubules in our brains, which hold the light in the folds of our brains... Sir Roger Penrose, Dr. Robert Lanza and Stuart Hameroff back these concepts up.

6:40 I can completely relate to this sentiment. Although my spouse and I are technically still together, he calls my belief in the spiritual realms "complete Woowoo". I coded and was clinically dead for 2 hrs in January 2021, and my interests, life beliefs, core values, etc...have ALL shifted. His have not shifted alongside that, and it is currently causing A LOT of turmoil in our marriage. Not that we had a perfect marriage before, but we were much more in synch than we are now. Very frustrating at times.
Do you mind sharing what you experienced? I really want to know
While I don’t think anyone can “know” what reality is, with 100% certainty, I don’t think spiritual beliefs are woo-woo and I’m sorry it’s causing a rift in your marriage. Have you had a sit down discussion with him, about learning to accept how the experience changed you? I’m not sure how he feels about your shift in interests as a whole. Maybe it scares him on some level. But he ought to be able to respect your beliefs, or at least respectfully agree to disagree.
@ShintogaDeathAngel // well said. I will note that after much research regarding Dr. Alexander, I know him now to be a total fraud, but regardless... I'm still a believer in what her husband calls "whoo-whoo". I believe we do go on after death and not afraid to leave this physical plane. I thought you answered her perfectly, so I just thought I'd tell you while adding by own beliefs about Alexander....lol. If people could just agree to disagree.
Thx a lot - have his book - its great !
this man is my hero
Dr. Eben Alexander's experience showed human consciousness "collapses the wave function" to create "hard reality." Our consciousness is a work of cocreation, a concept that continually popped up in my poetry, seemingly out of thin air. Our bodies are mortal, but our spirit is Immortal--Then I discovered my poetry was Gnostic, but I had not known what Gnosticism was about. Then I began to understand the “dazzling darkness” I had witnessed in meditation, and the weird poetry many found so evocative. More details in my second book, Surviving the Micronova: This Train is on the Tracks"
We are spiritual creatures living a human experience
Great stuff! Excellent interview - thank you
What a nice Pastor, very well mannered.
Greetings from India🙏
This is absolutely amazing and inspiring and so incredible!
Jesus is the only way to the Father. While somewhat reassuring, Dr. Alexander’s testimony is devoid of any reference to Jesus, His word, or His judgment. It essentially impeaches the Bible. I don’t doubt Dr. Alexander’s conviction, but I trust word of God in the Bible a LOT more than one man’s passing experience.
I was attacked in a hotel. 6hrs of my life I can't remember, only the moments before and the moments after the attack, which seemed to be consequently, until I looked at my watch. Even though my head was being smashed against a door frame front on, I felt no pain, no fear, I could only see. No knowledge existed of the reality with which we live. No awareness is the best way to put it. Like a baby before the slap on it's butt. My body was shutting down, I was doing and had no idea because you have no idea to have an idea. The only pain I felt was near my belly button, it was so intense. My body, without thought or instruction escaped to get on the toilet. I got there and placed my head between my knees. I heard a calm, feminine voice softly whisper one word... "breathe". It didn't come through my ear or from inside my head, it came from somewhere else straight their the crown of my head. It was external. I took the biggest breath of my entire life. THEN and ONLY THEN, did I have any awareness. I was extremely exhausted, like I'd ust given birth multiple times and then ran a marathon to do it all over again. It took several hrs for total awareness to return to me. What happened to me was terrible, but I KNOW there's more to existence than this reality and we are mind, body & soul (true consciousness).
Amazing that a pastor and his church would talk with Dr. Eban for over 30 minutes and not confirm his faith in Christ.
Maybe the pastor doesn't have any either.

Just found this, wow. Thank you for the upload.
I had a NDE as a child because that female that was supposed to be my mother was so unhappy, so vicious, so distant. I was terribly hated for saying 'THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS DEATH".
In my 20s I found quantum physics that says nothing is physical or solid. Turns out those billion dollar energy colliders built around the world never find solidity, only energy. Tesla said this when he said existence is energy.
Energy can't die because it is constantly spinning and vibrating and pulsating. This means all of us. We all consist of 7 billion billion billion atoms, each one spinning billions of times a second as quarks burst forth spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light forming protons and neutrons. This proves the constant creation of everything as light, a matrix of light that is eternal, a holodeck where we are holograms within it being projected.
So creation is constant and we can't die because we are constantly being created. Will anyone but the physicist Barbara Brennan ever understand this? I can't ever be married until I meet a man that understands all of this.
Our energy is transferred into another form... For certain we become Heat energy after we die at the very least... Anything else, possibly into a being of light energy/pure consciousness?
@@Excalibur2112 When the physicist Kenneth Ford wrote that quarks are bursting forth spinning billions of times a second as 3 points of light forming protons and neutrons -- what does this say to you?
@@pureenergy4578 Pure excitated energy in the universe... Higgs bosons proves this... It manipulates the God particle.
I love what you wrote and Tesla's quote is wonderful to consider. I'm curious as to why you say you can't marry a man who doesn't understand this as you do?
@@Iamvictormaria Who would I talk to? Marriage is about support and excitement over the same subjects. In my 20s I learned how to heal myself and others super fast. But there was no one around me to describe this to. You don't know how cruel people can be when they don't understand what you say.
Sometimes, science and religion work against one another -- when they work against one another, it is only because they are doing their very best to learn how to work together to seek answers to solve human problems. Science and religion are both seeking answers. Science is seeking the truth. Religion is seeking the truth. Science and Religion are very much like Yin and Yang. Science and religion are very similar, even if they are so different. Science and religion can reach common ground and express the same truth. We have to learn to co-exist and cooperate. Science does not have a monopoly on the truth. Religion does not have a monopoly on the truth. We have to be open to the truth, and the truth exists in all areas of life and in all disciplines of knowledge. We must keep an open mind in our search for the truth. We can all be right, and we can all be wrong. It is all a matter of perspective. We can have two opposing views, and both views can be correct at the same time.

Jesus didn’t teach reincarnation he taught resurrection. There is a big difference between them. Reincarnation is coming back as something else and resurrection is being raised back to life as yourself in spirit without flesh and blood.

Guys, I have the best news! I may have been to Heaven, before, when I (almost) died, and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a beautiful valley, filled with trees, grass, flowers, animals (such as butterflies), waterfalls, and more. Dr. Eben Alexander went to Heaven in his coma, recognized someone he saw in his coma later and this person had been deceased for a long time. They had never even met.
Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only change form! We are made of energy! We never cease to exist! And we're always aware!
I remember being under general anesthesia when I was getting my wisdom teeth out. It was black the whole time, but that's okay! The brain does not create consciousness/awareness. There is also no such thing as nothingness, and you're always seeing something. Consciousness/awareness exists in the universe, outside the brain, and has always existed, even before we were born. Consciousness will continue to exist for all of eternity. Even if it's black for a while, it won't be black forever. And even if it is, you'll be fine! The dark is nothing to fear! Consciousness/awareness pervades in the universe! There is in fact something after death, either you go to Heaven, you come back as a ghost, or you reincarnate. There is a period of time where everything is black, but it's only temporary!
The fact that I saw "black" instead of true nothingness means I wasn't truly unconscious! Consciousness/awareness cannot be destroyed!
Dr. Eben Alexander remembered seeing Heaven in a coma when his brain activity was next to none (not enough that he should have been conscious!) In fact, he even recognized someone in a photo months after his coma that he saw in his coma that he had never even met before. This person had been deceased for several months, maybe even a few years! Good news, right? It means there really is life after death!
There's such a thing as reduced consciousness/awareness, but true unconsciousness/complete lack of awareness is impossible!
The darkness you experience after death is only temporary.
I also remember being under general anesthesia in the hospital, and I could see and hear everything around me, despite the fact that I was completely out. It means my spirit was outside my body and I was having an out-of-body experience. I was astral projecting, and my consciousness/awareness was still there, outside my brain!
All of this means life after death, heaven, ghosts, reincarnation, God, etc., are REAL! Great news!
Being unconscious, at least in medical standards, means to be unresponsive. It doesn't mean you're not aware in some way or form.
Many people think general anesthesia knocks you completely unconscious. However, this is not true. Our awareness exists in the universe, outside the brain, has always existed, and continues to exist for all of eternity. General anesthesia works by *interrupting nerve signals in the brain and body.* It does not knock you out completely, in fact, like I said, consciousness/awareness cannot be destroyed.
According to an article I read, EVERYTHING is made of energy, including thoughts, consciousness, feelings, and even the human body! And energy CANNOT BE DESTROYED! This means I was right about the fact that we never cease to exist! In fact, NOTHING ceases to exist! Ever! The energy that lives within us does not disappear after death, even when everything goes black temporarily. Our energy simply gets rearranged! A few quotes from the article I found include:
-Common forms of energy include solid mass or as non-solid matter, such as heat, light, electrical, sound, gravitational, potential (stored energy) and kinetic (energy of motion). Quantum physics states that mass and energy are interchangeable, and consequently that mass is merely a manifestation of energy. This means that everything, including humans, is simply energy stored in mass particle form.
-According to the theories associated with the universal energy field. all matter and psychological processes - thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and attitudes - are composed of energy. When applied to the human body, every atom, molecule, cell, tissue and body system is composed of energy that when superimposed on each other create what is known as the human energy field.
-From an energy medicine perspective, energyrefers to subtle, imperceptible forces frequently described as a vital force or life force that flows through the body. Since all matter and psychological processes - thought, beliefs, emotions, and consciousness - are composed of energy, the physical body is therefore the manifestation or representation of an energy field made of superimposed dynamic segments of vibration.
-Nothing rests. Everything vibrates. Everything, in some subtle way, moves.
Ceasing to exist after death? Our consciousness disappearing? Unconsciousness, even temporarily? Hah! Not a chance! Also, (what I am about to tell you is great news for people who don't believe!) I can say with utmost confidence that the teaching of eternal torment in Hell is a lie. It is a false teaching that is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit because it implies that God is sadistically cruel and vindictive when in fact he is the exact opposite. He is loving, kind, caring, forgiving, omnipresent, and omnipotent. God IS Love! Now, to talk about it in more detail, we first need to know the origin of this blasphemous teaching. This teaching comes from a mistranslation of the word "Sheol", which simply means the state or abode of the dead. It also comes from a mistranslation of "Gehenna", which is a literal garbage dump outside the state and city of Jerusalem. Another misinterpretation is that of an "eternal fire." Eternal fire means a fire that has eternal consequences, not one that doesn't go out. A city in Israel was "destroyed by an eternal fire", but this fire has gone out. It's just that the fire permanently destroyed said city.
There is biblical proof of universal reconciliation, for example, Colossians 1:19-20 (New International Version), which says "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross."
The Bible also says that God desires to save everyone. How could people teach something so false, cruel, and blasphemous as a SCARE TACTIC into making someone Christian? It is so wrong! I honestly feel like crying due to a huge mix of emotions, including extreme happiness and excitement, anxiety, and sadness.

He didn’t say anything about seeing or hearing from the Lord Jesus. Does the doctor receive Jesus as his Lord?
This guy didn’t mention Jesus at all.
Because the vessel that you get it from doesn’t matter, it’s the MESSAGE!
I agree... a bit off-putting how can you experience heaven without Jesus? The Bible says very clearly that Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven.
@@lavendersunpool Did it ever occur to you that the Bible could be wrong?
Dr. Alexander not only did not mention Jesus, he de-emphasized the “life review,” and characterized this as aide, rather than a judgment. While Dr. Alexander’s testimony is interesting, I TRUST the Bible first and above all else. Any other source in my mind is suspect.
The volume is messed up
"I didn't have any kind of memory formation from moment to moment, so it seemed to last forever." 17:28 - memory/time/experience so closely linked the eternal now aka forever
I find it interesting when he mentions that the main function of the brain is to restrict what it filters or allows in (i.e., conscious experience) which involves the self and the non-self. This is an aspect proposed by latter day depression treatment where clinicians are suggesting that psychedelics can be of therapeutic value as they also impact this part of consciousness known as the DMN, default mode network, or that filter which basically gives us our ego or our personality. When this neural network can be overridden or subdued, theoretically this results in ego-death which may explain the sense of amnesia the doctor reported. When your DMN is no longer in control, other experiences can be allowed to occur. This may be augured by a naturally occurring compound in the brain that is released upon physical death (several stages of death to even go into) that are supposed to assuage the disconnected consciousness into a happy afterlife. Shamans have used the psychedelic ayahuasca, which is said to have a similar chemical structure to that of the brain compounds released upon death. These compounds are thought to be directly involved in NDEs (reports of visions during coma or near death experiences where the conscious goes to before the physical body is revived back to life).
have you heard of DMT? i read a book about experiences of people injected with DMT under scientific observation. there is no doubt in my mind that DMT and the NDE are strongly linked. I am not suggesting the NDE is an illusion brought on my DMT, but I think DMT plays a part in the expansion of consciousness at the point of death.
The only thing I am confused about is when people are given anaesthesia they have a sense of their consciousness disappearing to the point where they black out. so i am confused why anaesthetic drugs would do this to consciousness. if consciousness is a separate entity then in theory anaesthesia should not affect a person's awareness, but it does. what are your thoughts on this?
@@Dion_MustardThe effects of anesthesia upon consciousness is an interesting subject area. If the mix is correct the effect is akin to nodding out into deep sleep. But there are sometimes complications, and people have reported being totally paralyzed but not fully unconscious before an operation
@@kennethyoung5155 this doesn't answer my question i put to you about anesthesia and consciousness. why does injecting a substance into your vein make you "lose" consciousness IF consciousness is a separate entity? do you believe anaesthesia dissolves consciousness itself, or merely disrupts the pathways in the brain which allow consciousness to operate? please give me your opinion on this.....
@@Dion_MustardConsciousness nor awareness fully shut off during anesthesia, nor sleep, nor death. "Loss of consciousness" appears simple for the layperson but is really not, nor is death. "His eyes are closed and he is sleeping therefore he must be unconscious" is a standard observation and on one level of perception this is a true deduction. But I argue that pharmakos can only dull one level of perceptual awareness (5x5 sensory). IOWs, anesthesia does not dissolve all levels of consciousness. Anesthesia disallows recollection based on limited reception in the 5x5 repository, but consciousness still lives outside of physical perception. Your eyes are closed when you are sleeping and you will not typically recall everything 5x5 in your environment. And yet many people will awake moments before the clock alarm...how does this occur if they are totally unconscious? I think what we have here is a fuzzy line in describing what is consciousness, and because humans like simplicity, gray areas do not register for most.
Zooming out you suddenly become aware that all of this is happening on a TV screen - an epic space opera playing out for someone’s entertainment. But the actors don’t know they’re actors. To them, this galactic orgy is as real as real gets.
I've listened to a lot of NDE survivors and they always say something opposite of what we perceived as reality. The real world is the spiritual world and the material world we live is the illusion.
The most ultimate NDE of all I have heard...
Στο 28 λεει ο παρουσιαστης οτι θα ξαναδούμε τους αγαπημένους μας
I find his experience absolutely enthralling...could listen to him talk all day about his experience and I personally believe in continuation of consciousness beyond death, but a couple of things stick out to me about what he said which I sometimes question. He talks about how consciousness expands at the point of death, but often, for instance when someone is rendered unconscious, their consciousness does the opposite, and they just "black out", so I wonder why this happens if consciousness expands when brain ceases to work. Another example is anaesthesia. When the substance is put into your vein you begin to "close down" and suddenly oblivion, so I wonder why consciousness doesn't do the opposite during anaesthesia.
So many questions, but ultimately I believe his experience was a genuine one, and I am enthralled by the concept of "non-local" consciousness.
Mind is very powerful : it creates this world when we alive : it creates heaven n hell after life : this is also a trap of mind
Do you believe it’s possible?
@Andrew Holster very good points. another notion is that when people die they sometimes briefly fall into a state of "oblivion" before ascending to a higher altered state of consciousness.
Religion will never accept this man's testimony as long as they embrace Christology as a paradigm for faith and eternal life. Oneness is the gateway to God and God alone is our true identity. Christology is that which points identity away from the self and its religious attachments. Christology as a role and function points to God or that which is ultimate.
How are you going to accept this guys story if you are a Christian?
His story is completely against the teachings of Jesus.
Be wary of wolves in sheep's clothing.
Be very wary of anyone who tells you they seen heaven and or hell.

If his frontal cortex was destroyed, how did he regain his abilities, especially his medical knowledge?
It wasn't destroyed it was not functioning at the time of his coma
Miracles do happen, God can heal you completely. Is up to God if you come out from an impossible situation, car crash, heart attack, braind dead, etc. When his not ready for you... I love his testimony.
He never died. Claiming he experienced death is just wrong. He cannot prove he died and everything that happened to him corresponds with the experiences of a living brain.
@Gripen Draken "That's because consciousness is SEPARATE from the body, YOU FREAKING MORON! "
Such passion.
And your evidence for this assertion is? And the authoritative wise guy you quote is?
@Gripen Draken Hello random shouty man.
You claimed the soul is separate from the body. That's makes it your job to prove YOUR assertion, not mine.
See you in 5 months.
What about Jesus?
He's dead two.
I agree this stuff sounds like new age mumbo jumbo and does not line up with scripture
I saw Him in the blinding white light in my NDE 20 years ago. I can guarantee you, I didn't want to return. My fears and anxiety of death were completely removed. It completely transforms you for the better.
@@hrburrell I think God is unconditional love itself and doesn’t care about what you believe.
@@Zero-ep1rp I heard Heaven is available to anyone, even wrongdoers... Its more of a matter of choosing to reject Heaven to not being welcomed... I also heard that no prior religion is required either... This is from a girl on YT who spoke to Jesus after having an NDE... She said, Jesus told her we are like gods in training! She also said that Jesus loves EVERYONE... Even bad and mentally ill people.
He keeps interrupting eben when eben starts talking about his centering prayer practice.
His NDE is unique in that, unlike other NDES, he was amnesiac during the 7 days of coma, which means he didn't have any memory of his life on earth. That makes me uneasy and less confident on the consciousness independent from brain or any part of body.
Doesn't it possibly imply that his consciousness during his NDE was somehow under the influence of his brain function which was so much damaged by meningitis?
🙏🏻
Since the other comments where off here I go. There is a hell and heaven. With out Christ there is hell. If you believe in Jesus there is heaven. That simple.
Amen, it's all about Jesus 🙋♀️
Bullshit
That's what the catholic church wants us to belive but it's not the way God operates🤔
@@robertderkach650 I agree and I no longer believe in everlasting punishment in hell for the lost. Total destruction in the Lake of Fire maybe, along with Satan and his fallen angels.
How do you know that?
I have no idea how many Christians may have watched this video, maybe not many. Because anyone even somewhat familiar with the teachings of Jesus, let alone all of those who are very familiar with the gospels and profess to be worshipers of Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior, who would have found it very strange that a pastor of a supposedly Christian church who didn’t even mention the name of our Lord & Savior to this man? And like Eben Alexander’s answer to the question, “why do we hear so many NDE testimony’s that had hellish experiences?” His explanation was, “maybe they just didn’t get that far yet?” But of all the ones that I’ve heard that had hellish experiences, though not nearly as many as those who didn't. But those who obviously lived to tell about it did get that far, and they also told of being rescued by Jesus. But I do know that some of the most important things that there are to know, (and evidently for whatever reasons, God didn’t let Eben Alexander get that far.) Although, I can guess at a few possible reasons for why he didn’t. But unfortunately, in spite of such an incredibly wonderful and enlightening NDE, I can only suspect that Mr. Alexander’s spiritual upbringing and deeply committed scientific mind may have been somewhat of a stumbling block by getting in his own way. He said that his father was very committed in his belief in God and so it's also possible that he was brought up in the Jewish faith or in some other spiritual Philosophy, but I think it’s safe to assume that whatever it was, it wasn’t Judeo Christian. And as a result, it may have caused him to come to a few conclusions that are very erroneous at best. Because if he had been raised in the Judeo Christian faith he should have already known that Hell & evil are very real and that there are many gods with many names, but only one true God who loves people beyond comprehension. And who allowed his only Son to sacrifice himself on a cross for the forgiveness of all sins, and that whoever might believe this could have life eternal. I shouldn’t suggest that I know the reason for why anyone wouldn't be enlightened to know this, especially someone who had been enlightened to so many wonderful things beyond words to describe. But I can only suspect that it has something to do with pride & free will, and it does make an eternal difference in what God we believe in.

Why is it that people assume because they had an "experience," that it must contain truth? Why don't they wonder if the experience was given to them to instill and accentuate an untruth? As a Bible believer, I have read a lot about the demonic realm and what demons are capable of, which is great deception, unless their intended victim happens to be a saved believer in Jesus Christ and has the Holy Spirit, who will stop any demonic intrusion in its tracks. Eben speaks of hearing the most beautiful and moving music during his vision; and we know from God's word in Ezekiel that Lucifer was created with great beauty and musical talent:
My concern is he doesn’t talk about Jesus!
Why is that a concern?
In his book Proof of Heaven, he describes the place that he calls the Core (God) and in this inky black place was a wonderful Being of Light (if I am remembering it right!) and, as I read his description, I thought the Being of Light was probably Jesus
I agree, none of the NDE testimonies I've heard focus on Jesus only other mystic beings. This is why I think it links to new age.
@@bygrace24 have you read Embraced by the Light?
Jesus was a 4th density entity who came here to earth to teach us, he is just like us, no more no less.

It's really interesting that he says that our human experience of our consciousness is only a "filter"...since that's kinda like how these days people put VR HMDs on their head and it acts as a filter of sorts..that can give them the illusion of being somewhere else in another reality than ours..who knows, he might be right and on to something with this notion.
BAD SOUND QUALITY
