What if everything we were taught about consciousness by conventional science in the past was wrong? And what if there was proof that heaven exists? Imagine being a distinguished brain-surgeon, teaching at Harvard and you are convinced there is no afterlife. Until all of a sudden your brain dies and you are on life-support for seven days. And during these seven days you travel to the other side and meet God. This is the story of Dr. Eben Alexander. The American neurosurgeon's book https://www.amazon.com/Proof-Heaven-Neurosurgeons-Journey-Afterlife-ebook/dp/B008AK8FHM/ (Proof of Heaven) debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and his latest book https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y2SFPR2/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i1 (Living in a Mindful Universe) is a compelling introduction to the current paradigm shift in science, where the old nihilistic worldview where consciousness is merely a side effect of brain activity is now being replaced by the idea that consciousness is the fundamental basis of what defines and makes reality itself. Dr. Eben Alexander's take on consciousness, mind, soul and love offers a compass to navigate the trying times of conflict and confusion we are currently experiencing. In this interview he not only talks about life after death, but also how to live a more meaningful existence right here and now and how his Near Death Experience completely changed his old worldview, which was until then, completely materialistic. In this interview with Eben Alexander, you'll discover: -The "Amnesia of the Divine"...02:49 -How quantum physics has debunked the pseudo-science of materialism...07:00 -Eben recounts his encounter with the Divine...12:45 -How and when the "materialistic" worldview came in vogue around the world...21:33 -How reconnecting with the spiritual realm eases anxiety and fear in this life...25:42 -Prayer and living in a mindful universe...31:32 -Why evil is necessary for personal and communal growth...37:40 -What to say to those who maintain this life has no meaning...42:37 -Ethical concerns over advances in the realm of extending our physical presence on Earth...49:25 -Self-love as it relates to interconnectedness with others...54:04 -Eben's best personal practice...

EDWARD F. KELLY is currently a Professor in the Division of Perceptual Studies (DOPS) at the University of Virginia. He received his Ph.D. in psycholinguistics and cognitive science from Harvard in 1971, and spent the next 15-plus years working mainly in parapsychology, initially at J. B. Rhine's Institute for Parapsychology, then for ten years through the Department of Electrical Engineering at Duke, and finally through a private research institute in Chapel Hill. Between 1988 and 2002 he worked with a large neuroscience group at UNC-Chapel Hill, mainly carrying out EEG and fMRI studies of human somatosensory cortical adaptation to natural tactile stimuli. He returned full-time to psychical research in 2002, serving as lead author of Irreducible Mind: Toward a Psychology for the 21st Century (2007), Beyond Physicalism: Toward Reconciliation of Science and Spirituality (2015), and Consciousness Unbound: Liberating Mind from the Tyranny of Materialism - (2021), all published by Rowman & Littlefield. He is now returning to his central long-term research interest – the application of modern functional neuroimaging methods to intensive psychophysiological studies of psi and ASCs in exceptional subjects. Discussion of this interview in the BatGap Community Facebook Group. Interview recorded January 22, 2022. Video and audio below. Audio also available as a Podcast.

He is now president of the Cedar Creek Institute, where he researches altered states in exceptional subjects. We spoke about his and others’ research on psychic phenomena and how it relates to spiritual development. Learn more about Edward F. Kelly here: http://cedarcreekinst.org
