“We are all connected. Regardless of your belief system, there’s a benevolent, loving force at the core of the universe, which unites us all.”
Dr. Eben Alexander

We’ve all seen those scenes in Hollywood movies where a character is dying and their whole life flashes before them.

Well, my guest today is here to tell you that that is not merely the stuff of sci-fi movies, that stuff is real. In November 2008, neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander lapsed into a coma after suffering from a disease so lethal that only 1 in 10,000,000 survive.
