Join Dr. Eben Alexander for a talk at St. Matthew Lutheran Church.

Unveiling the Mystery of Consciousness

Dr. Eben Alexander, author of the best-selling book, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, experienced profound states of consciousness during a 7-day coma in 2008 due to severe bacterial meningitis. While his brain was shut down, he experienced a spectacular near-death experience, an odyssey to realms beyond our known physical universe—an ultra-real journey that ran counter to all conventional neuro-scientific views about the brain and consciousness.

Conventional science argues that anything that is real must be perceived with the senses, but there is much more to our so-called reality than what we can see, hear, smell, touch and taste. Profound spiritual experiences reported throughout the world teach us that the realm of consciousness is a fundamental part of our collective truth that can no longer be simply dismissed. Consciousness is primary to all of existence and each of us can access this fountain of information and gain firsthand knowledge of it. Understanding the fundamental importance of consciousness is leading to a synthesis of science and spirituality.
