Heaven Is Real, Says A Doctor Who Claims To Have Visited The Afterlife

Dr. Eben Alexander claims to have visited the afterlife (Twitter)[url="http://www.lifebeyonddeath.net/"]Dr. Eben Alexander[/url] has taught at Harvard Medical School and has earned a strong reputation as a neurosurgeon. And while Alexander says he's long called himself a Christian, he never held deeply religious beliefs or a pronounced faith in the afterlife.
But after a week in a coma during the fall of 2008, during which his neocortex ceased to function, Alexander claims he experienced a life-changing visit to the afterlife, specifically heaven.
"According to current medical understanding of the brain and mind, there is absolutely no way that I could have experienced even a dim and limited consciousness during my time in the coma, much less the hyper-vivid and completely coherent odyssey I underwent," Alexander writes in the cover story of this week's edition of [url="http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/10/07/proof-of-heaven-a-doctor-s-experience-with-the-afterlife.html"]Newsweek[/url].
So what exactly does heaven look like?
Alexander says he first found himself floating above clouds before witnessing, "transparent, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer like lines behind them."
He claims to have been escorted by an unknown female companion and says he communicated with these beings through a method of correspondence that transcended language. Alexander says the messages he received from those beings loosely translated as:
"You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever."
"You have nothing to fear."
"There is nothing you can do wrong."
From there, Alexander claims to have traveled to "an immense void, completely dark, infinite in size, yet also infinitely comforting." He believes this void was the home of God.

After recovering from his meningitis-induced coma, Alexander says he was reluctant to share his experience with his colleagues but found comfort inside the walls of his church. He's chronicled his experience in a new book, "[url="http://www.amazon.com/Proof-of-Heaven-ebook/dp/B008AK8FHM"]Proof of Heaven[/url]: A neurosurgeon's journey into the afterlife," which will be published in late October.
"I'm still a doctor, and still a man of science every bit as much as I was before I had my experience," Alexander writes. "But on a deep level I'm very different from the person I was before, because I've caught a glimpse of this emerging picture of reality. And you can believe me when I tell you that it will be worth every bit of the work it will take us, and those who come after us, to get it right."

I am an RN who has worked for over 40 years in hospitals, including 20 years in ICU, and in the ER before that. Prior to that, I was a Combat Medic in Vietnam. So, I can tell you that I have seen a LOT of death and near-death experiences in my life. A LOT! I've seen patients in deep comas suddenly wake up, telling me it's so beautiful, and then falling back into death. I've had other patients tell me that Jesus had come for them, and they have to go now... and then die! I've had patients whose hearts stopped, and who had to be aggressively resuscitated to bring them back, only to have them tell me that they had been in heaven and had met all their family that had preceded them in death years earlier. I've seen patients in comas suddenly sit up and say, "Mother? I'm coming, Mother." And then die. I've had patients to the room and said that their roommate just died, but they had come back briefly to tell them to tell their families that they loved them, and then vanish. The experiences are too common to simply blow them off. Not ALL patients do this, and I did have ONE guy who "died," who we then resuscitated, and he told me that while he was clinically dead, the experience was HORRIBLE, that he had seen the Devil and Hell, and from now on he intended to never miss a day of church, ever. MOST RN's who have worked in hospitals for many years can tell you similar stories. I had a nurse-friend who was making her rounds about 3 AM, and walked into this guy's room and found him dead in bed. But, suddenly she heard his voice telling her, "I'm in heaven now." Now, you Doubting Thomases can pooh-pooh these experiences all you want, that's fine with me. But I've seen enough of them to be satisfied that there is, indeed, an afterlife. Call it heaven, call it whatever name you wish. But I'm convinced it's there. As for patients who die and DON'T have these experiences, maybe they didn't go to heaven? All I know is, i know where I want to go! You can go wherever you want. It's fine by me.


so now how many of you believe in afterlife... there is a life ani.........
