Interview reveals how a near-death experience changed everything neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander thought he knew about consciousness, spirituality, and life after death.

Join Skeptiko host Alex Tsakiris for an interview with neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander. During the interview Dr. Alexander discusses letting go of our simplistic view of consciousness:

We are launching our campaign to build a Bereavement Rescue Centre in the New Forest. For a couple of years now, we have been planning the centre, but agonising over issues such as funding and planning. We have decided to just go for it though and adopt the philosophy brought back to us by NDErs. If it is God's will, it will happen. What seems insurmountable right now will become possible if it is part of God's plan.We believe it is his will and plan, so we are stepping out in faith. We believe in this project and we know that many others do too.

So, our first stage is to collect letters of support. We will collate them and use them to support grant applications and planning applications. At this stage, planning is more of a worry than grants. With enough determination and enough applications, we will eventually raise enough money to build the centre. But if the powers that be in Planning cannot be persuaded to see the value of the project and the desire of the public to have this centre, all the funding in the world will not help.

We have designed a folded A4 flyer to outline what we propose and to ask for letters of support. Please take a look at it and send us your letter of support so we can add it to the body of evidence that the centre is needed and wanted. If you can print off some copies to give to other people too, that would be wonderful also.

Thank you for your support. Help us to be there to help you!

We are so excited to announce the publication of our book "Bereavement Rescue with Near Death Experience evidence"! Full of quotes about heaven and life after death from Near Death Experience survivors, the book encapsulates much of what we try and share with people in bereavement who come to us for help. We wanted to be able to give people just one book that says it all - so we put this book together to achieve that purpose.

The book is half illustration and half text and is laid out to make it an easy and pleasant read. From our experience with bereaved people and having been through bereavement ourselves, we knew that this is a time when people need information that is easy to digest, not a wall of text. Many of the pictures were chosen for their serene and natural beauty, to soothe the eye and raise the spirit whilst delivering fascinating and convincing evidence that we will all see our loved ones again.

The book is available in hardback, paperback and download. The print costs are unfortunately quite high because of the high picture content, but no more than any other coffee table book. Hopefully this will deliver more though!
