For May 24th -- A best-selling book entitled “Proof of Heaven” was published in 2012 by neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander. In it he recounted his near-death experience in which he was in a coma for a week. Prior to his experience when he was still an agnostic, he believed that NDE’s were simply sensations produced by brains under extreme stress. After his experience he now believes that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.
We studied this book in Science and Spirit discussions last year but now there is a DVD called “Conversations Beyond Proof of Heaven” in which Alexander talks with Dr. Raymond Moody about his experiences. In these conversations, we shall hear some of the following:
--consciousness: is it dependent on the brain or a richer, freer state beyond the physical mind?
--time: how it flows, how we perceive it linearly, and how all things are happening at once.
--science and spirituality: the possibility of merging the two as partners rather than adversaries and the consideration of science in the question of soul.
Come and join us for what promises to be some thought provoking topics for the next few weeks.
