Having dismissed the hypothesis of the existence of the soul's world, recently a leading American brain surgeon changed his opinion after experiencing the feeling of being close to death.
Dr. Eben Alexander, a brain surgeon who graduated from Harvard University in America and practiced for 25 years, fell into a 7-day coma in 2008 after meningitis, Telegraph reported. .
Alexander said that during his coma, the area of his brain that controls his thoughts and emotions stopped working. He then experienced the feeling of being close to death and met a beautiful woman with big blue eyes in a place full of white clouds. A string of sounds like a music piece with a high volume and a grand sound. Dr. Alexander clearly heard each sound and felt they were like raindrops that fell into the skin but did not cause a cold, wet sensation.
"That deep feeling gave me a scientific reason to believe in the existence of human consciousness after death , " he said.
Previously, many patients had told Alexander that they had gone through a state of near-death, but he thought it was only a product of imagination or hallucinations. But now he changed his mind after experiencing that feeling. He even published a book "Proof of Heaven" to describe his own experience.
"Everyone says the existence of consciousness after death is incredible, unbelievable. But the state I experienced is not an illusion. I feel it as clearly as the actual events that have happened. In my life, for decades, I have been working as a brain surgeon at one of the most prestigious medical facilities in the US Like all colleagues, I understand the theory of the brain. collapsed by the event I experienced , " Alexander commented.
