Eben is the neurosurgeon that died and had an experience, that i believe to be authentic and very detailed and very very interesting. Quoting: Salt the one thing the neurosurgeon came away with that i found compelling was that prior to his experience he believed that all NDEs boiled down to some brain experience. He believed that consciousness could not happen without a functioning brain. Now, after his experience, he believes that we are conscious IN SPITE of our brain, and that the brain is a filter that, as we continue to grow older, filters more and more of our true nature away, and keeps us blind and stuck in this reality, disconnected from everyone and every thing. profound. the brain is the filter that disconnects us from the God experience. consciousness is our spirit, which is eternal and pure and divine. our brain is simple a carnal/fleshly human organ which is more of a hindrance than a help. ***side note: it was clear that oprah had a rough time listening to eben's experience. she remained professional but you could see her and her cult-ass witchy self struggling with the details of his God experience.*** if anyone can find a video of the entire interview, plz let me know. Have you read either of John Lerma's books? He's a palliative care specialist that works with hospice patients. Many of his accounts seem too fantastic to be true, but very interesting nonetheless. “When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown more rapidly than their education . . . the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint . . . . It is not necessary to do violence to such a people in order to strip them of the rights they enjoy; they themselves willingly loosen their hold. . . . they neglect their chief business which is to remain their own masters.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America Volume 2 |

Is this the Neurosurgeon who wrote a book and has been making rounds giving interviews? I listened to him on Coast 2 Coast and also a follow up interview he did with Linda Moulton Howe. Some points he made: - He does not believe that any such 'hell' exists based on his experience. He says the unconditional love he experienced from the 'light' led him to believe that no such force could be responsible for creating any such place known as 'hell'. Says he passed through a dark, murky layer or place where he got the impression of 'roots'/'vessels' around him. He says he passed through this layer and believes many who have had NDE's have miscontrued this as 'hell' and he believes they may not have passed through this layer as he did, which he did not sense was 'hell'. "Didn't go far enough." - Feels the word 'God' is so limiting and does not like to use it. Says 'God' or the unconditional, loving divine light/force he experienced is so much more than a single word could ever do justice and feels there are many misconceptions attached to this word. - I believe he spoke some on his belief in reincarnation but I can't recall exactly what he said other than affirming his feelings on the phenomena. - The 'guardian angel' he met during his experience turned out to be his biological sister that he never knew! He found this out several months after his experience. He was adopted and his biological family reached out to him and sent him a photo of his sister who was deceased at the time of his experience. It was the same woman from his NDE experience! Totally agree with the message that cosciousness is not sourced in the brain. A portion or element of our consciousness leaves our body when we enter the dream state! I had read this for years and always kept an open mind about this assertion. Not long ago I woke up with a recollection of an experience from the night before. I had been sleeping in bed on my stomach and remember seeing myself from above and then I was immediately back in my body and seeing things from the vantage point of my eyes. I was startled when this happened as I felt there was a 'presence' behind me or watching me. However it wasn't until I contemplated on this the next morning that I was able to connect the dots and realize that it was ME who was looking down on my body and the process of my perspective changing so quickly from outside my body to back inside my body was what gave me the false impression that it was someone else there with me.

It goes deeper than that. We are all part of the same consciousness experiencing this reality in a human form. When our human form ceases to function we are then return whole to the consciousness as pure energy or spirit or soul. There are many dimensions or realms to reality. Modern physics says that there are 11 dimensions to reality yet we can't experience most of them. Death in human form is a new beginning, a beginning that we experience over and over again. |

I vaguely recall that enigmatic half-man/half-God saying something about becoming like little children in order to fully relate with him and what he was all about. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28305331 Cheers! John Detroit yes! but he was fully God and fully man... but, i agree "The only religion that God the Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being ensnared by the world." --James 1:27 -- “Read everything, listen to everybody, don’t trust anything unless you can prove it with your own research” --William Cooper --- He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To seek justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. --Michah 6:8 |
