We are more than the physical body -- part of The Monroe Institute Series. When
a Neurosurgeon undergoes a profound paradigm shift as the result of an
extraordinary near death experience he is determined to upgrade the math on
consciousness. Can he provide science with the missing link to prove humans
exist in a conscious state beyond the physical form? Dr Eben Alexander's
near-death experience is the most astounding I have heard in more than four
decades of studying this phenomenon.  In my opinion, Dr Alexander is living
proof of an afterlife.  -- Raymond Moody, MD, PhD, author of Life Beyond Life,
1975, and father of the field of Near-Death Experience studies.

Dr. Eben Alexander III has been an academic  neurosurgeon for the last 25 years,
including 15 years at the Brigham  & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School
in Boston,  Massachusetts. Over those years he personally dealt with hundreds of
 patients suffering from severe alterations in their level of  consciousness.
Many of those patients were rendered comatose by trauma,  brain tumors, ruptured
aneurysms, infections, or stroke. While many  comatose patients died, there were
occasional ones who recovered. None  of them was able to provide much insight
concerning their experience..
In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, Dr.  Alexander himself became a
comatose patient. For reasons that remain  obscure, he was overcome by a
fulminate bacterial meningitis and was  comatose on a ventilator in the
Intensive Care Unit within hours. His  physicians were stunned to find that the
culprit was a bacteria that  almost never causes spontaneous meningitis in
adults! After six days on  triple antibiotics, showing no response and with
little neurological  function remaining, his physicians had few words of
encouragement for  his family.
On day seven he said “Thank you” when the  breathing tube was removed!
However, his earliest recollections were  strange and involved no recall of his
life before coma. Like a newborn,  he had no functioning language, nor knowledge
of this world, our  culture, or the loved ones surrounding him. Foggy-minded for
several  days, he steadily improved and began writing and organizing his 
recollections of the experience.
