As part of my current journey, I felt an unwanted need to reflect and take a look at death and question where I am at regarding my spiritually? As a baby boomer we may argue that we don’t go there but I’m betting that as we lose more and more loved one’s, friends and family, it’s inevitable at our age, you begin to question this very real and somewhat difficult life stage.  We are a hands on species, what we see, feel, touch and control guides us through our everyday existence.  I truly believe and accept that there are many different levels or realms of existence which define us and not limit our tie to our natural world.  This belief is based on a number of unexplained events that have happened over the years, for which I can only say allowed me to continue, and survive the many life threatening events throughout my 60 odd years.  That I am here to write about it today is somewhat of a miracle for which I feel truly blessed.

As we boomers begin to the battle the golden years the question of what’s after death becomes a subconscious voice in the depth of our minds. This voice sometimes buried deep in thought has been coming to the surface of my consciousness over these past few months, most certainly due to my current health fight and the fight of some very special people in my inner circle.

So when a very close friend  Lorrie and I started into a  discussion about NDE near-death experience during our drive back from dropping off my daughter at university, it was inevitable that the voice in my subconscious would start to remember things and my journey of rediscover was about to begin anew.

Lorrie passed on a wonderful little book “Proof of Heaven”.  This book was written by Dr. Eben Alexander, M.D a highly trained neurosurgeon, who develops a rare illness which shut down his brain and left him in a coma for seven days.  This is an academic, researcher and prominent neurosurgeon doctor in his field who clearly goes through an extraordinary NDE Near death experience which sent him on amazing journey of discovery and enlightenment that clearly defines his current work and changed his life course.  As he states in his book “I’m still a scientist, I’m still a doctor and as such I have two essential duties:  to honor truth and to help heal.  That means telling my story.”  He also states “Not only was my journey about love, but it was also about who we are and how connected we all are – the very meaning of all existence.”

I know for me, this little book “Proof of Heaven” has given me a peace and love glow that will carry me through and has reconfirmed my belief that I will always have an angel on my shoulder.  It’s a quick and wonderful read and just might help you live, love and smile at the possibilities to this last stage of life.  Dr. Alexander has created a website to  further your awakening, share your story and provide valuable research go to: Eternea.org
