Dr Eben Alexander, a Harvard-educated neurosurgeon, fell into a coma for seven days in
2008 after contracting meningitis.
During his illness Dr Alexander says that the part of his brain which controls human thought
and emotion "shut down" and that he then experienced "something so profound that it gave
me a scientific reason to believe in consciousness after death." In an essay for American
magazine Newsweek, which he wrote to promote his book Proof of Heaven, Dr Alexander
says he was met by a beautiful blue-eyed woman in a "place of clouds, big fluffy pink-white
ones" and "shimmering beings".
He continues: "Birds? Angels? These words registered later, when I was writing down my
recollections. But neither of these words do justice to the beings themselves, which were
quite simply different from anything I have known on this planet. They were more advanced.
Higher forms." The doctor adds that a "huge and booming like a glorious chant, came down
from above, and I wondered if the winged beings were producing it. the sound was palpable
and almost material, like a rain that you can feel on your skin but doesn't get you wet."
Dr Alexander says he had heard stories from patients who spoke of outer body experiences
but had disregarded them as "wishful thinking" but has reconsidered his opinion following
his own experience.
He added: "I know full well how extraordinary, how frankly unbelievable, all this sounds. Had
someone even a doctor told me a story like this in the old days, I would have been quite
certain that they were under the spell of some delusion.
"But what happened to me was, far from being delusional, as real or more real than any
event in my life. That includes my wedding day and the birth of my two sons." He added:
"I've spent decades as a neurosurgeon at some of the most prestigous medical institutions
in our country. I know that many of my peers hold as I myself did to the theory that the
brain, and in particular the cortex, generates consciousness and that we live in a universe
devoid of any kind of emotion, much less the unconditional love that I now know God and
the universe have toward us.
"But that belief, that theory, now lies broken at our feet. What happened to me destroyed it."
