In a bizarre revelation, a brain surgeon claims to have experience a form of life after death.
While nobody knows what actually happens when a person dies, but people, over the years have put forward their beliefs and theories about what happens when a person passes away.
Now, a brain surgeon and author of the book Living In A Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey Into The Heart Of Consciousness, has told of being in a coma for a week in 2008 and all of the things he experienced.
The book, which was published earlier this year sees Dr Eben Alexander describe how he felt there was something in the “great beyond” – and even claimed he now has a deeper understanding of what comes after life.
According to a story published in The Sun, Dr Alexander writes in the book, “I was in a coma for a week, suffering from meningoencephalitis – a brain infection – of such severity that my odds of survival were estimated at 2 per cent. After a week, my doctors gravely told my family that it was time to let me die.”
He, now 63, was then placed on a ventilator.
The doctor reveals in his book that at that time he saw a light slowly coming down from above. “It was a circular entity, emitting heavily music that I called the Spinning Melody,” he says.
He goes on to add that the light opened up like a rip and he felt himself going through the rip, up into a valley of lush and fertile greenery, where waterfalls glowed into crystal pools.
“There were clouds, like marshmallow puffs of pink and white. Behind them, the sky was a rich blue-back, with trees, fields and animals and people,” he says, adding, “There was water, too, flowing in rivers or descending as rain. Mists rose from the pulsing surfaces of these waters and fish glided beneath them.”
While it is not proven if a place like that actually exists, the surgeon now believes that the evidence of an afterlife is increasing.
