#72: Living in a Mindful Universe With Dr. Eben Alexander
Description:
“The world is moving to kindness. It’s all going to be okay.”
I personally was very appreciative of this message from Dr. Eben Alexander.
Dr. Eben Alexander, the author of the international phenomenon Proof of Heaven, sat with me in an open and vulnerable conversation. Dr. Eben shares his thoughts on the true nature of consciousness and ways to cultivate a state of harmony with the universe and our higher purpose.
I reveal my near-death experience and share a vulnerable hunger in my soul.
In 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander’s brain was severely impaired by a devastating case of bacterial meningitis, and he lapsed into a weeklong coma. It was almost certainly a death sentence, but he miraculously survived and brought back with him an astounding story. During those seven days in a coma, he was plunged into the deepest realms of consciousness and came to understand profound truths about the universe we inhabit. What he learned changed everything he knew about the brain, mind, and consciousness and drove him to ask a question confounding the entire scientific community: How do you explain the origins of consciousness if it is not a byproduct of the brain? His challenge relates to a revolutionary shift now underway within our modern scientific understanding. Ultimately, direct experience is key to fully understanding how we are all connected through the binding force of unconditional love and its unlimited power to heal.
In Living in a Mindful Universe, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven shares his insights into the true nature of consciousness. Embracing his radically new worldview, he began a committed program of personal exploration into non-local consciousness. Along the way, he met Karen Newell, who had spent most of her lifetime living the worldview he had only just discovered was possible. Her personal knowledge came from testing various techniques and theories as part of her daily routine. With Living in a Mindful Universe, they teach others how to tap into our greater mind and the power of the heart to facilitate the enhancement of healing, relationships, creativity, guidance, and more. Using various modalities related to meditation and mindfulness, you will gain the power to access that infinite source of knowing so vital to us all, ultimately enriching every facet of our lives.
