La preuve du paradis

An American neurosurgeon narrates his near-death experience. This book shocked people when it first appeared: a neurosurgeon who had never believed in accounts of near-death experiences details how he lay in a coma for a week, struck down by a devastating meningitis. When he woke up, he was not the same person: his scientific certainties had vanished; he himself had been through a near-death experience. Dr Eben Alexander describes his "hyper-vivid and completely coherent odyssey". This voyage into the hereafter also led him to question the true nature of consciousness. He demonstrates with precise facts that the death of body and mind does not imply the death of consciousness, the human experience continues in the hereafter. Where does this external consciousness come from? If human knowledge is to advance in its search for truth, must it not reconcile science and spirituality? This book invites us all to contemplate the reality of the hereafter. "Dr Eben Alexander's near-death experience is the most fantastic story that I have heard in the 40 years I have been studying this phenomenon. This man is the living proof of a hereafter experience." Raymond A. Moody
