Beyond Belief: Considering Evidence for Life After Life- Dr. Eben Alexander, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD.

Believing in the afterlife is one thing… proving it is another.

This year, people from around the world competed in an essay contest providing their rationale for life after death. Nearly $2 million in prize money was awarded with Las Vegas entrepreneur Robert Bigelow putting up the prize money. Jeffrey Mishlove took home half a million dollars for the winning essay.

Dr. Eben Alexander, author of “Proof of Heaven,” does not need to be convinced–he lived it. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander was taught that although NDEs feel real, they are nothing more than fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.

Then, Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness and shut down completely. Alexander spent a week in a coma. As his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back. Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.

Mishlove and Alexander come together to tackle big questions such as, what is the best evidence for postmortem survival of human consciousness? How can we accommodate this evidence within a contemporary scientific and philosophical framework? Where is research on postmortem survival leading? Join the Vail Symposium for a program that will plumb the depths of belief on this consequential topic.

I have listened to hours and hours and hours of Jeffrey Mishlove's interviews with others - all of them so interesting and informative, and professionally and thoughtfully conducted (new podcasters can learn much from him!) But I must say it is so nice to hear him for once as the speaker. He's a wonderful, knowledgeable thinker and I am so grateful for his life-long work. Eben Alexander gave a wonderful and fitting tribute at the end of this symposium that recognizes his contribution, and I am grateful to both of them for this wonderful presentation.

This is so wonderful - when I had my NDE back in the 60's I had nobody to talk to about it - people thought I was weird and delusional. Videos like this are changing the world and quite quickly I might add - so thankful to these gentlemen for what they are doing to educate our planet. People do not have to renounce the world and pilgrimage through the Himalayas or become a Sanyasin Monk like I did to find this profundity now - it is all around you (to quote Dr Joe Dispenza) now.

I’m surprised as to how many folk had Spiritual Experience that changed their life. Dr Mishlove you for being you.

Always a great pleasure to hear Jeffrey Mishlove talk. Such depth, such consistency of point-of-view...coupled with great personal and professional integrity. True enquiry and endeavour. Keep going!

A Black Phoebe bird comes for my dad, it’s a way for him to still be watching over me. My father came to me in a dream giving me a replica of a garden cart we both built together. We were in a large green grass field with very tall pines all around. He had presented the tiny beautiful cart on a thick wooden pine picnic table. That was comforting to know my dad is with me.

Beautiful program. Long ago when ai asked a Tibetan Rinpoche why he only spoke of mind and not heart, he said that in his tradition heart and mind are one. I would love to see our culture move from this maturity of awareness.

Beautiful lecture. Thank you both for sharing your personal experiences and message of love, hope and trancendance of life in this universe. Thank you for your tenacity and courage for spearheading this movement of searching for greater knowledge of material life and beyond. Thank you Eben and Jeffrey.

I love Jeffrey Mishlove with all my heart. He is a living legend, and will go down in history as one of the most important figures who helped to catalyze a paradigm shift that will literally save humanity from its own destruction.

A little was mentioned by Eban about the placebo effect, spontaneous remission and prayer in healing. In 2010 I went in for my yearly eye exam and the optometrist said I had healed from all that I had been diagnosed with and he mentioned that he had never seen that before. Actually, I had used prayer for the purpose of my healing, and I felt confident that I would heal.

All I am left with is AMEN to growing up! I loved this! It validates so much that has happened in my experiences of this journey.

[peacelovejoy]

I love to hear these kind of stories!
It's like, okay now what? When people honestly believe that when you die that's it and nothing else happens. These are the people that believe the world is flat and we are the only life in all the universe. Sad 😔

There is a power in the universe that is constantly working for our good. It works for us if we recognize it and let it.
Love & Light 💛

I'm glad he mentioned Ian Stevenson. He has been the best source of knowledge on this subject (and I'm now very glad I heard about the essay of Mr. Mishlove on the Incredible Universe podcast ) ^^

The Beatles were right, All you need is LOVE ❤️ Thanks for this enlightening discussion.

[EvelineNow]

From hospice work to my own meningitis I was with both of you. and your every words.

[lilalov]

I Love Jeffrey , I wish he did not have to get political speaking of Putin. Then so many others should be put on the line as well. I believe we must stay away from politics or all material aspects .

[donfields]

The close to final statement really summed up the task ahead of us all, the task for now... its time to grow up... individually and collectively.

When he'd get mad/upset/hurt/whatever:
he'd give me the silent treatment.

But he never really cared about me.
He used me and discarded me.
Replaced me so easily.

HE SHATTERED MY HEART.
HE RAPED MY SOUL.

The PTSD and the loneliness and the grief that he's given me...
Makes it so that I can't breathe.
I drowned. I suffocate. I die inside.
I'm in hell with no escape.
NO ESCAPE.

He betrayed and abandoned me, discarded me like garbage.

I'm so fucking traumatized and terrorized and terrified.

He's given me severe PTSD. Severe! Severe! Severe!
How and when will I ever heal?

REMINDER TO SELF:
When you chase a man,
you NEVER get the man,
and you ALWAYS lose yourself!
