Only Jesus came from heaven and returned so he is the only reliable source.

I think it was just the imagination of the mind. When I sleep, my own brain concocts some bizarre, vivid dreams. Some dreams are so startling that I wake up in a fright that it's actually happening. And even a few times during the day, when I've remembered something, I've had to stop and think if what I'm recalling is an actual event or just residual memories from my dreams. So I get it, but I would never put any stock in what my mind thinks up in the subconscious, like these others have about heaven.

Satan is the deceiver and father of lies. That was my first thought. Bravo 👏🏼.

A couple of thoughts...

1) I have a friend whose husband had an experience similar to Dr. Alexanders. While in surgery, he said he met with Jesus in heaven and was asked if he wanted to stay with his current family or join another family (which he could see in heaven and described them as Asian). He said he wanted to stay with his current family. I told my friend that re-incarnation is not a part of the Christian dogma.
2) The prophets in the OT that experienced heavenly visions all describe similar places. If these modern "heaven tourists" described a place similar to scripture I might be more inclined to believe them.
3) If these "heaven tourists" had radically changed lives after their experiences I might tend to believe them. I'm not saying that their lives didn't change, just saying that a radical change toward a divine life is a sign of an inward change.

Good evening, I'm looking forward to this video

Is Dr. Alexander's god the yoga god?

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Matthew 14:28-32

No matter how bad it looks to you, always focus on the Lord.
Only when you focus on the storm will you then start to sink.
All storms are created by The LORD to help you learn to focus.

John 3:13 No-one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven- the Son of Man.
( No lie comes from the truth)

Before Jesus' crucifixing and death, he described a place divided into two sections and we refer to the nice half as "Abraham's bosom". If you ask yourself, when God makes a parable, does he use imaginary or real elements in his story? and then ask; if God knows everything that's ever happened, why did any of Jesus' parables have to be fiction? Now feel that chill down your spine as you reflect on each parable?
There's a couple of things that stand out to me about accounting of Jesus' resurrection. One of those things is that when his disciples said they feared he was a ghost, he didn't corect them and say, "there's no such thing as ghosts". That just creeps me out and I pray, Lord, don't ever let me see any ghosts. I've never so far.
Another thing is that he said he had not yet ascended (to heaven). So like... he was dead for "three days" (actually two; either he was crucified on a Thursday or we count from the time he was taken captive and tried, or that third explanation). Where was he if he wasn't in heaven (and he doesn't tell us)? And Why wasn't he in heaven those two days? and are we supposed to think the born again believers go directly to heaven when we die, as we are taught to believe, or have we been taught wrong? I've never heard any teaching otherwise. But Jesus' experience and Jesus' description of the other side in his parable give a different narrative. All these people who say they've died and saw heaven, aren't likely to have seen the real heaven.

tbh I still don't see how all these people are lying. While some like him are deceived: the girl saying "you can do no wrong", the dark light and the "om", and some are lying for money, I do believe some experiences are real

[Kenlydford]

What’s the deal with folks like him. Wow just the epitome of a reprobate mind almost. “Dogs, butterflies, trees and children”. It’s not funny but I mean what?!?

I BELIEVE IN WHAT GOD JESUS WORD SAYS IN THE BIBLE NOT WHAT MAN SAYS ABOUT IT
