In today’s episode, Michael welcomes Dr. Eben Alexander. Eben, an academic neurosurgeon whose transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) transformed his materialist worldview, is a pioneering scientist and modern thought leader in the emerging science that acknowledges the primacy of consciousness in the Universe, and is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and Living in a Mindful Universe. During their amazing conversation, Michael and Eben chat about: –Eben’s NDE during his week-long coma and what he discovered about life as a result  –The differences between materialism and quantum physics in understanding life and consciousness, and debunking the idea that consciousness is located in the brain –The plethora of global research revealing that NDEs are not dreams or hallucinations as suggested –The big message for all of humanity from those who’ve had miraculous recoveries after being close to death or surviving NDEs which all of us can discover through meditation – and so much more!  Next, Michael concludes with a brief guided meditation.
