Eben Alexander, MD, is a neurosurgeon and a near-death experiencer. He is author of Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and (with Karen Newell) Living in a Mindful Universe. His website is http://ebenalexander.com/.

In this three-hour interview, he goes through many of the details regarding his 2008 coma and near-death experience. He explains why scientists have been particularly interested in his medical records. He describes three distinct stages of the afterlife that he characterizes as the “earthworm’s view,” the “gateway valley,” and the “core realm.” He shares his visions of death, life review, and reincarnation. He describes his encounters with the “God Force.”

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death.
