There IS A Heaven! Harvard Neurosurgeon Claims Proof Of The After-Life Filled With 'Puffy Pink Clouds'

"For seven days I lay in a deep coma, my body unresponsive, my higher-order brain functions totally offline." revealed Alexander. "Then, on the morning of my seventh day in the hospital, as my doctors weighed whether to discontinue treatment, my eyes popped open."

As his body lay in a coma, "My brain-free consciousness journeyed to another, larger dimension of the universe: a dimension I’d never dreamed existed."

"My near-death experience, however, took place not while my cortex was malfunctioning, but while it was simply off," he explained. "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."

The scientist went on to describe a scene more akin to fantasy, with "big, puffy, pink-white clouds that showed up sharply against the deep blue-black sky. Higher than the clouds—immeasurably higher—flocks of transparent, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer-like lines behind them," he said.

Alexander went on to pose questions to a silent wind that blew through and each time, "the answer came instantly in an explosion of light, color, love, and beauty that blew through me like a crashing wave," until he came across a black orb that was a kind of “interpreter.”

While he is well aware that many will assume he was delusional, the Harvard medic claims the event is as real to him as his marriage or the birth of his two sons, but is adamant that "the theory that the brain, and in particular the cortex, generates consciousness and that we live in a universe devoid of any kind of emotion, much less the unconditional love that I now know God and the universe have toward us," is drastically incorrect.

"What happened to me destroyed it, and I intend to spend the rest of my life investigating the true nature of consciousness and making the fact that we are more, much more, than our physical brains as clear as I can, both to my fellow scientists and to people at large."

Rather than dismissing all his scientific training, he is combining his spiritual and scientific views. "I’m still a doctor, and still a man of science every bit as much as I was before I had my experience. 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," said the self-described Christian-in-name-only.
