In the United States went on sale just published a book by Professor of Harvard ebony Alexander "Proof of Paradise"

Travel notes of komatosnye

Dr. Ebony Alexander (Dr. Eben Alexander), a neurosurgeon with 25 years of experience, Professor, who lectured at Harvard Medical school (Harvard Medical School) and in other universities assures that personally went on the light. Believes that, most likely, looked into Paradise. Medic remember what it saw. And some time later explained his "travel notes" in the book, which was called accordingly: "Proof of Paradise: a journey of a neurosurgeon in the afterlife " (Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife). In late October 2012 the book went on sale in the U.S. at a very modest price, not to exceed $ 15.

Speaking about his journey in an interview with Newsweek, Eben said that never before did not believe in an afterlife. Moreover, sympathized with those who believe and believed that there is a reasonable scientific explanation for the strange visions that describe almost dead. However, when he found himself in a coma is on the verge of life and death, it was somehow not up to scientific explanation - so amazing looked like something that had to face.


When the brain is disconnected

In that light, Alexander looked in the fall of 2008, while in a coma in Virginia Lynchburg General Hospital, where he then worked as a neurosurgeon. To coma brought bacterial meningitis caused by penetration into the brain E. coli bacteria. As a result, according to the traveler, his body had stopped to respond to external stimuli, the brain is disconnected, the bark of the brain responsible for thoughts and emotions, ceased to function. In this state Alexander spent 7 days. And allegedly went in another Universe. According to him, larger than ours, in which man is something more than just the body and the brain. And where death is not the end of conscious existence, but only a part of an endless journey.

Of course, the most complete account of what has been seen in that light, is contained in the book, full yet and philosophical reflections. The point is that in a world in which visited Alexander, live representatives of the higher forms of life - "transparent, shimmering beings, flying across the sky and leaving behind a long, similar to the marks, as in airplanes". Neurosurgeon met a flock of these creatures, when he soared high into the clouds. In addition heard published beings sounds similar to the song. Alexander liked the song. Thought of it being expressed overwhelming joy.

Something higher, which includes all kinds of love

However, contact with the traveler came not transparent and shimmering being, and creating a more familiar form, which appeared near.

"... The woman, - says Alexander, a Young... High cheekbones and dark blue eyes. Beautiful face framed by Golden-blond braids. When I first saw it, we rode on complex patterned surface, which after some time, I identified butterfly wing. Around us circling millions of butterflies flying out of the forest and coming back. This was the river of life and colors, spread in the air. Women clothes were simple, like a peasant woman, but her color, cyan, blue and orange-peach, is as bright as all that surrounded us. She looked at me with such a look, what if you were under it for at least five seconds, all your life would be filled with meaning, regardless of what you experienced. It was not some romantic look. It was not the sight of each other. It was the look beyond this. Something higher, which includes all kinds of love, and at the same time much more".


The blinding darkness

The woman spoke with the neurosurgeon telepathically. And given that, ultimately, to understand that he will return back where you came from.

Before you return Alexander was at the entrance into the void "completely dark, infinite in size, but incredibly soothing. Despite the darkness, the void was filled with light. He seemed to be coming from the shining ball that I felt beside him. This ball was like a translator between me and the outside world. It seemed that this world is much more to the Universe, which seemed to me a giant cosmic womb".

Then, waking and reflection, the neurosurgeon decided that the very soothing emptiness was the house of God himself. According to Alexander, the most accurate description of this amazing place he found the metaphysical poet of the 17th century, Henry Vaughan (Henry Vaughan) in line "There is, some say, in God a deep but dazzling darkness ...” it Vaughan seemingly paradoxical put God in a deep and bright and shining... the darkness.

"It was, " recalls neurosurgeon.

Materialistic view doomed

Ebony Alexander firmly believe that traveled real. Instead of ranting. He himself has proved it. And now, citing its scientific authority, attempts and the rest of inspire - especially still doubting that life after life exists. Therefore God is

- Today, many believe that spiritual truths has lost its power and that the path to truth is a science, not faith, the scientist said in an interview with Newsweek. To my experience, I thought so myself. But now I understand that this opinion was too simple. The fact that the materialistic view of our body and brain is doomed. His place will take a new look at the mind and body.

To add this new picture of reality, will take a long time. It won't be able to finish neither I nor my sons. The reality is too lengthy, complex and mysterious. But in essence, it will show the Universe evolving, multidimensional and studied down to the last atom God who cares for us as no parents about their child. I still physician and man of science. But on a deeper level I am very different from the person who was before, because I saw this new picture of reality. And, you can trust me, each stage of the work will be done to us and our descendants, is this".

Total: something embarrassing

Words neurosurgeon in General sounds fairly good. But something in them confused. In my opinion, of course. The Alexander habits Catholic preacher missionary from among those who came to us at sunset USSR to campaign from the stages and stadiums for Jesus Christ. He preaches very nice, even pathetic. But Intrusive. As a potential guru certain mystical sects any new realists, which itself and has already planned to create.

Yes and looks neurosurgeon suspiciously. If not preached, it would have been easy to accept for the agent's offer to buy a vacuum cleaner or lend money on a timeshare. But maybe I am wrong? Just know nothing honest Americans?


INSTEAD OF THE COMMENT

To "other world" closest "Kingdom of Morpheus"

And if you still adhere to the doomed materialist view our body and our brain? Is it possible to rationally explain the nature of travel ebony Alexander? And to prove that on your own head he was nowhere to go?

Kevin Nelson almost colleagues traveler - neurophysiologist at the University of Kentucky (Lexington, USA) there is a hypothesis in this regard. He believes that the vision of Alexander and other so-called okolosmertnyh experience this kind of ... sleep. Specifically, the violation of one of its phases - the so-called "REM sleep", which is accompanied by rapid eye movement - BDG.

- Sometimes there are such States, says Nelson, " when the brain is partially awake, partially submerged in the phase "REM sleep". Such "BDG-invasion" produce hallucinations, which look very convincing. So that, awake or still not disconnected parts of the brain is able to confuse them with real events.

The scientists ' conclusion : the illusion of travel in "Hereafter" creates a combination of effects arising from the invasion phase "REM sleep", while the violation of the brain.

Remains of things "nothing" - to explain what see resuscitators. More precisely, not watching. Namely activity of the brain. Encephalography working until people "no" in this world and are allegedly on the "Volume", draw smooth lines without any impulses. If the brain is completely disconnected. Isn't that a strong argument for those who believe in the ability of the soul to leave the body?

- No mysticism, - says Nelson. Because the brain is turned off not instantly - it takes a few seconds. Their is enough to fall in phase "REM sleep", and in it already to make long enough "journey". When you asleep you are changing the perception of time. It seemed to be stretched. Sometimes moments, turn in the minutes, hours and weeks. As was the case with the most famous visitor "the Light", which seems to have survived okolosmertnyh experience, not dying.

"About Muhammad surprised to report that he was asleep, seeing the first fluctuations falling vessel in his sleep went from a detailed inspection of all seven branches of Paradise and waking up on returning to earth, still managed to prevent the decline of the vase. Lives in a dream... has a much faster within than reality...", - wrote in his book "Dreams as a subject of scientific research" (Kyiv, 1878) Russian Explorer Nikolai Grotto.

Rest in peace

Where did the dying feeling of immersion in an incredibly soothing substance, which was described by Alexander?

Recently his explanation of proposed German scientist Alexander Wutzler. His research group found in the brain dying threefold increased levels of serotonin, one of the main remediation, which controls many functions in the body and affects the perception of pain, creates a feeling of euphoria. Serotonin is also called hormone of happiness.

This hormone, Wutzler and placed the responsibility for the death of vision.

Perhaps on another physiological mechanism okolosmertnyh experience came across Zalika Clements-CETIC from the University of Maribor in Slovenia..

The researcher to monitor the condition of patients suffering from acute heart insufficiency. 52 of them died, but rose again. Until patients have reached the threshold of that light, stood there and came back, the researcher took their blood.

From among the risen to 11 people reported that went somewhere, told about the tunnel, the light, the angels and the other miracles. This is slightly less than 20 percent. Which corresponds to the world statistics: according to different data, about travel to the light and report back from 8 to 20 revived.

Then Zalika looked: what is fundamentally different blood seeing and not seeing the afterlife. It turned out only one: the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide. I experienced clinical death she sharply increased. It worked: if deathbed visions are hallucinations, then calls them carbonated blood. Just something...

By the way, similar sensations, until visions, sometimes visit, how climbers at high altitude, and divers, diving to great depths without scuba gear. They also have problems with carbon dioxide in the blood.


SAID

What was the neurosurgeon told in an interview to Newsweek:

"As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon "polusrednego" experience. Being the son of a neurosurgeon, I grew up in the scientific world. I followed the example of his father and became academic neurosurgeon, he taught at Harvard medical school and other universities. I understand what happens to the brain when people are on the verge of death, and I always thought that travel beyond the boundaries of his own body, which describe those who managed to avoid death, have quite a scientific explanation. The brain is surprisingly complex and extremely delicate mechanism. Reduce the amount of oxygen that it needs, up to a minimum, and the brain will react. The fact that people who suffer severe injury, returned from his ravel" strange stories, was not news. But this did not mean that their journey was real.

Although I considered myself a Christian, I was called so, what really was. I did not envy those who believed that Jesus was more than just a good man, the victim of the society. I am deeply sympathized with those who believed that somewhere out there is a God who truly loves us. Actually, I was jealous sense of security that would give these people their faith. But as a scientist I just knew, but did not believe. However, in autumn 2008, after seven days in a coma, during which the bark of my brain (KGM) did not work, I experienced something so deep that it gave me a scientific reason to believe in life after death. I know such statements cause skepticism, so tell your story in the language of the scientist, and his logic.

Early in the morning four years ago, I woke up with the worst headache.

For several hours the bark of the brain that controls the thoughts and emotions and, in fact, makes us human, was "closed". Doctors Virginia Lynchburg General Hospital, where I worked as a neurosurgeon, decided that I somehow got infected with a very rare disease is a bacterial meningitis, which basically attacks the newborn. E. coli bacteria inside me cerebrospinal fluid and has eaten my brain. When I arrived at the emergency room, my chances that I'll live and not lie vegetable, were extremely low. Soon they fell almost to zero. Seven days I was lying in a deep coma, my body didn't react to stimuli, and the brain was not functioning. Then, in the morning of the seventh day, when doctors decide whether to continue the treatment, my eyes flew open.

Scientific explanation to the fact that while my body was in a coma, my mind and my inner world were alive and well, no. While the neurons of the cerebral cortex were defeated by bacteria, my mind went into another, much larger Universe - the dimension that I myself even could not imagine that my dokonalismy mind would prefer to call "unreal".but this dimension, it's described countless people who have experienced clinical death and other mystical state that exists. It is, and what I saw and learned, literally opened to me a new world: a world in which we are much more than just the brain and body, and where death is not fading consciousness, but rather the head of a large and very positive trip. I'm not the first person who found evidence that consciousness exists outside the body. These stories are as old as human history. But, as far as I know, no one before me had never been in this dimension, while a) their brain was not functioning and b) their bodies were under medical supervision.

All the main arguments against the experience of being in the hereafter are based on the fact that these events are the result of "malfunction" KGM. My experience, however, I experienced when fully broken crust. According to modern medical understanding of brain and mind, I could not feel even a faint shadow of what I had experienced.

I tried for several months to realize and come to terms with what happened to me. At the beginning of their adventures I was in the clouds. Big, fluffy, pinkish-white, floating in the blue-black sky. High above the clouds were flying flock shimmering transparent creatures, leaving behind a long tracks, like aircraft. Birds? Angels? These words came later, when I wrote down his memories. But none of these words can not describe those beings. They are just different from all that has been on this planet. They were more advanced. The highest form of life.

From above came a sound like the great choir sang, and I thought: "It is from them?"Later, thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that the sound was born from the joy of those beings who grew up together, they simply could not contain it. The sound was a visible and almost tangible, as the rain that you feel on your skin, not soaking through this to the bone.

Most of my travels someone was near me. Woman. She was young, and I remember in detail what she looked like. She had high cheekbones and dark blue eyes. Golden-blond braids framed her beautiful face. When I first saw it, we were traveling together on complex patterned surface, which after some time, I identified butterfly wing. Around us circling millions of butterflies flying out of the forest and coming back. This was the river of life and colors, spread in the air. Women clothes were simple, like a peasant woman, but her color, cyan, blue and orange-peach, is as bright as all that surrounded us. She looked at me with such a look, what if you were under it for at least five seconds, all your life would be filled with meaning, regardless of what you experienced. It was not some romantic look. It was not the sight of each other. It was the look beyond this. Something higher, which includes all kinds of love, and at the same time, much more.

She talked to me without words. Her words went through me, like the wind, and I immediately realized that this is true. I knew it as well as what the world around us is real. Her message consisted of three sentences, and if I had to convert them to an earthly language, they would have meant the following: "You always love and care about you, honey. You have nothing to fear. There is nothing that you could do wrong".

Her words gave me a huge sense of relief. Like I explained the rules of the game in which I played all my life, not understanding them. "We'll show you many things, " the woman continued. - But then you go back".

After that I have only one question: will return to where? There was a warm wind like what happens in a warm summer day. Wonderful breeze. He changed everything, as if the outside world began to sound an octave higher and acquired a higher vibration. Although I could talk, I began to ask the wind questions silently: "Where am I? Who am I? Why am I here?"Every time I silently asked their questions, the answer came immediately in the form of an explosion of light, color, beauty and love flowing through me in waves. Importantly, these explosions are not "stuffed" me and answered, but to avoid words - I took thoughts. Not so, as it happens on the Earth is vague and abstract. These thoughts were hard and fast, hot like fire, and wet as water, and as soon as I took them, I instantly and easily understood concept, the realization of which in normal life I would have spent a few years.

I continued to move forward and were at the entrance into the void, completely dark, infinite in size, but incredibly soothing. Despite the darkness, she was filled with light, which seemed to be coming from the glowing Orb that I felt beside him. He was as a translator between me and the outside world. The woman with which we walked around the wing of a butterfly, to lead me through this world.

I know how unusual and frankly unbelievable it all sounds. If someone, even a doctor, told me this story, I would be sure that he is in captivity some misconceptions. But what happened to me, it was not like madness. It was just as real as any event in my life - as the wedding day and the birth of my two sons. What happened to me, requires explanation. Modern physics tells us that the universe is one and undivided. Although we seem to live in a world of division and difference, physics tells us that every object and event in the Universe is woven from other objects and events. True there is no separation. Before I went through my experience, these ideas were abstractions. Today they are a reality. The universe is determined not only by unity, but now I know it is love. When I felt better, I tried to tell others about their experiences, but their reaction was polite disbelief.

One of the few places where I have not faced such a problem, was the Church. Went there for the first time after the coma, I looked at all the other eyes. Color stained glass reminded me of sparkling beauty of the scenery I have seen in the upper world, and the bass organ about the thoughts and emotions that I experienced. And, most importantly, the image of Jesus, fissile bread with his disciples, awakened in me the memory of the words that accompanied all of my journey that God loves me unconditionally. Today, many believe that spiritual truths has lost its power and that the path to truth is a science, not faith. To my experience, I thought so myself. But now I understand that this opinion was too simple. The fact that the materialistic view of our body and brain is doomed. His place will take a new look at the mind and body. To add this new picture of reality, will take a long time. It won't be able to finish neither I nor my sons. The reality is too lengthy, complex and mysterious. But in essence, it will show the Universe evolving, multidimensional and studied down to the last atom God who cares for us as no parents about their child. I still physician and man of science. But on a deeper level I am very different from the person who was before, because I saw this new picture of reality. And, you can trust me, each stage of the work will be done to us and our descendants, is this".
