Glorious Truth

Blog Post #93

In 2008, at the age of 54, Dr. Eben Alexander, a neuroscientist, was struck by a rare illness and spent 7 days in a deep coma. A situation the doctors deemed hopeless.

The following excerpts, describing Dr. Eben Alexander’s near-death experience, are from his book:

Proof of Heaven, A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife.

"I was encountering the reality of a world of consciousness that existed completely free of the limitation of my physical brain. My experience showed me that the death of the body and the brain are not the end of consciousness, that human experience continues beyond the grave. More important, it continues under the gaze of God who loves and cares about each one of us."

Unconditional Love

"My Near-Death Experience had healed my fragmented soul. It had let me know that I had always been loved, and it also showed me that absolutely everyone else in the universe is loved, too.

"The message went through me like a wind, and I instantly understood that it was true: You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever. You have nothing to fear. There is nothing you can do wrong... this flooded me with a vast and crazy sensation of relief.

"You are loved. Those words are what I needed to hear. But it's also what every one of us in this materialistic age needs to hear as well... Without recovering that memory of our larger connectedness, and of the unconditional love of our Creator, we will always feel lost here on earth.

"To know this deep and comforting truth: that our eternal spiritual Self is more real than anything we perceive in this physical realm and has a divine connection to the infinite love of the Creator.

"None of us are ever unloved. Each and every one of us is deeply known and cared for by a Creator who cherishes us beyond any ability we have to comprehend.

"This is the reality of realities, the incomprehensibly glorious truth of truths that lives and breathes at the core of everything that exists or that ever will exist, and no remotely accurate understanding of who and what we are can be achieved by anyone who does not know it and embody it in all of their actions.

"Love is, without a doubt, the basis of everything. In its purest and most powerful form, this love is not jealous, or selfish, but unconditional.

"The unconditional love and acceptance that I experienced on my journey is the single most important discovery I have ever made."— Dr. Eben Alexander

Ukrainian folklore characterizes pysanky as a symbolic, talismanic writing that invokes a higher Universal Power for help, while believing with faithful certainty that It will. The contemporary version of this characterization is a paper-and-pen journaling practice called prayer writing that develops a personal relationship with God.
