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

Although Dr. Alexander struggles with explaining his experience, given his limited linear human vocabulary. He attempts to put into lay terms what it is he saw, felt, & came to know. I liked how he says science & spirituality must co-exist. I would have liked to have him detail more of his upper level experience.But maybe he's still trying to understand it all.

I guess it all came down to Appendix B. It's pretty much his own list of possible reasons the NDE could have been experienced within science's understanding of the brain. He gives very short answers for why these scenarios are not the case, but saying that a scenario can not be true, because of the clarity of the NDE, the realness of it; well I just don't think that gives enough credit to the complexity of the human mind. It's like he keeps saying how much is unknown about consciousness, but goes on to make assertions about it with the utmost certainty. The other curious thing was time reference, of which he had almost none. In the beginning of the book, he almost seems to imply that he is going to be able to explain how he was aware of "human time" while in the coma, but the reader never really gets this. In fact, he says he has no reference of time. He questions himself while in the NDE, minutes, days, months, years? There is a good chance the NDE could be completely experienced in the time slipping into the coma, coming out of the coma, or even fabricated during the recovery stage.

Look this guy up. Malpractice galore. I believe in an afterlife but my gut says this guy is a fraud. What he said about the afterlife has been said a lot better by others. Regurgitation. He had a 3 million dollar lawsuit against him and lost Dr privileges in 3 hospitals before he got sick. Works in some underling capacity now. He wrote about his family mostly.
