Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

It's a must read for everyone! The message deeply resonates deeply within you, once you decondition from the popular materialistic and reductionist perspectives, and take a deep dive within your own unadulterated soul. You can feel the unconditional love and acceptance of the consciousness fill your entire being while reading these captivating NDE moments of Dr. Eben Alexander III. Read it ASAP, and feel the unconditional love of the Universal Consciousness.

What an amazing, fantastic, hope-filled experience/message. I bought this book after catching Dr. Eben Alexander's talk on Youtube at the Theospohical Society of America. Though his talk covered most of what is in this book, I would still recommend reading the book. It has been structured very well and makes for a very absorbing read. Couldn't get enough of it and was somehow thinking that he had experienced much more than what he let on, in his talk. One fascinating fact is how he characterised God as Om even though he has no prior knowledge of eastern spiritual thought.

Beautifully written book. One of the better books on NDEs…

As far as Near Death Experience (NDE) is concerned this book is 'must read'. I found it very readable. I have found many experiences being quoted in Mahikari literature. But this one gives a more 'scientific' description. We will have to agree with Frijof Kapra (The Tao of Physics)and Amuray de Reincor (The Eye of Shiva) (The spelling of the names of authors may not be correct) that 'Science' is not final, it is evolving and one will have to search for the final answers always. This book also points towards that.We would be happy to learn or relearn from Dr.Eben that God is unfathomable LOVE. Naturally the meaninglessness of all the fighting going on in the world in the name of God, or in the name of different Gods dawns on the reader. Dr.Eben agrees with almost all the mystics like Ekhart, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sri Auraobindo, Arthur Koestler, etc, that certain experiences cannot be explained using our language. This book makes us Hopeful. -Prof. (Dr.) K.C.Sreekumar

NDE experience of Neurologist is small part of book but background of it is his family, resolutions of his mental issues due to this experience with lots of diagnostic analysis covers major part of book. As author seems to have good hand in writing articles in medical journals , book written by him reflects it. Appreciate his efforts but for common reader it doesn't make very exciting book as subject is very interesting.

I liked that it was a first hand account of someone who experienced an NDE. Esp as he was a neuro surgeon so he could know whether it was an experience made up by the brain or not. A true pot boiler and very well written with great conviction. Only issue was the book was warped, I think it got wet in the rain or in the Amazon storage area. If it doesn't straighten out, I will get it replaced. I like a new book to look like new, not all warped.

This book is a true story of the writer. The writer is a neurosurgeon. His experience and his life in coma period is revealed. This book tells he was affected by rare bacterial meningitis. You will enjoy the book as it is full of clearing the doubts to readers

The book is very well written, using simple english and so beautifully edited that once you start reading, you will leave it only after you finish it. Those who question the source of “Consciousness “ will get the appropriate answers to their doubts.

What a wonderful book.

Un livre écrit par un neuro chirurgien suite à une méningite foudroyante à E-coli qui aurait dû le laisser mort au mieux, ou totalement 'légumisé' au pire. Il est parfaitement rétabli, n'a perdu aucune de ses capacités et à vécu une NDE qui a transformé sa compréhension de la nature du réel. Outre le récit qui est captivant, l'intérêt majeur, il me semble, réside dans le fait qu'Eben Alexander était un neurochirurgien matérialiste et sceptique par principe. Cette expérience ainsi que ses solides connaissances scientifiques lui permettent de réfuter un à un les arguments des scientistes pseudo-scientifiques et contribue grandement à une recherche sérieuse et approfondie de l'esprit et de sa non localité. Je souhaite que ce livre soit rapidement traduit en Français pour atteindre un public encore plus grand.

It is an easy reading, the content is Amazing, very straight to the point, destinos not the end, we re here expeciencing and we ll go Back home.

Great read!

In this book, Dr. Eben Alexander describes his astonishing Near Death Experience (NDE), which according to the author stands out quite a lot compared to other peoples' NDEs documented in the past. As a regarded and experienced neurosurgeon, Alexander has a vast knowledge of the brain, and has performed many operations on patients brains over the years of his career. Up until it happened to himself, Dr. Alexander believed that NDEs were complex phenomena produced by the brain, as he thought (as most materialists) that consciousness is a (yet unexplained) phenomenon produced by the brain. His own Near Death Experience, which he had for the duration of about 7 days when he fell into a coma due to a very rare and potentially deadly E coli infection, turned Dr. Alexander's materialist world view up side down. It's a very personal, well written and edited book. In short chapters the author alternates between accounts of his NDE, the parallel events unfolding in the Intensive Care Unit and detailed medical reports on his condition, as well as personal accounts of the events unfolding with his family at this time. Skillfully he weaves in personal stories which at first glance seem unrelated, yet in the end masterfully complete the picture. Dr. Alexander does a great job in the effort of putting his emotions and accounts on paper. The reader feels a if he/she really gets to know the author, especially from an emotional side. In the Appendix at the end of the book, infectious disease specialist Dr. Scott Wade, who treated Dr. Alexander during his coma gives his medical report and opinion on the matter. Dr. Alexander's NDE and the circumstances of his recovery appear to be outstanding in the following regards: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - He is a trained & experienced neurosurgeon (cutting edge of science on the brain) - His particular type of E coli (menengitis) infection was pretty unique in regards to the very low probability of infection and his miraculous and full recovery - The Infection switched off almost 100% of the Doctor's brain activity - The long duration of the NDE - The lack of rememberence of his own personality during the NDE The only negative point I have to raise: As with most American prints, the paper quality moderate, quite frankly, even with the hardcover edition. The book jacket however is beautiful to look at and very well designed. Summary ------------- An great & inspiring book that should be part of everyone's library.
