Dr. Long and his wife founded the Near-Death Experience Research Foundation. An NDE of the “void” is an ontological encounter with a perceived vast emptiness, often a devastating scenario of aloneness, isolation, sometimes annihilation. A woman in childbirth found herself abruptly flying over the hospital and into deep, empty space. A group of circular entities informed her she never existed, that she had been allowed to imagine her life but it was a joke; she was not real. She argued with facts about her life and descriptions of Earth. “No,” they said, “none of that had ever been real; this is all there was.” She was left alone in space. 2 , pp. 1–5 She discovers how everything she’s done rippled out into the world. Featuring more than one twist this book reminds you of the bonds between people. And how even the smallest action can change a life.

After: A Doctor Explores What Near-Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond Special books about near-death experiences For a near-death experience to occur, one must have limited brain function, yet still have a sensory experience—without full use of their physical senses. In the United States alone, about 9 million people have reported experiencing an NDE. Dr. Eben Alexander, author of international phenomenon Proof of Heaven, shares the next phase of his journey to understand the true nature of consciousness and how to cultivate a state of harmony with the universe and our higher purpose.

As a leading NDE researcher and a medical doctor, Jeff has appeared on national media including O'Rielly Factor, NBC today, ABC with Peter Jennings, the Dr. Oz Show, the History Channel, the Learning Channel, and National Geographic. He has also appeared on Fox News Houston and at the New York Academy of Sciences, was an NDE expert in the movie "After Death." Some of these reports have highly unusual or unique characteristics which are not part of ordinary resuscitation or hospital procedures. Additionally, some patients blind from birth report visual data accurately about their experiences during clinical death. Wiese’s visit to the devil’s lair lasted just twenty-three minutes, but he returned with vivid details etched in his memory, capturing the attention of national media, including the Christian Broadcasting Network, Daystar Television Network, Trinity Broadcasting Network, the Miracle Channel, Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!, Sean Hannity’s America, Charisma News, and many others.

Doctors work in life-and-death situations every day. But what happens when they encounter something even they can't explain scientifically? A work of fiction, the story is about Eddie. He is a maintenance worker at an amusement park. On his 83rd birthday tragedy strikes. Diving to save a little girl, Eddie leaves earth and travels to the afterlife. There he meets five people who only seem to be strangers. When she offered up that it was probably a dream or hallucination from the heavy medication that didn't sit right with Schiefer. Alex Malarkey's open letter to bookstores said "I did not die. I did not go to Heaven. [...] I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention. When I made the claims that I did, I had never read the Bible." Three years ago, my mother fell into a coma. This tragic event upended my life, thrusting me into an unknown territory where I grapple with questions about life, death, consciousness, and the soul. These are not easy topics to broach, and the fear of losing my mother amplifies the anxiety, leaving me with a restless mind that often spirals into despair.Schiefer's father died that night. He was devastated. What's worse is that every time he thought about his father, he would be consumed with feelings of guilt and fear. He'd think about him on that hotel floor and then inevitably he'd think about his own eventual death. Further, despite reports that scientists have been able to induce NDEs through the use of drugs or electrical stimulation to the brain, none of the reports has been altogether convincing. The reports have been based on a partial similarity to a limited aspect of NDE, or they have involved very few people—sometimes only a single individual—in an experiment that does not really replicate a full NDE, or the aftereffects do not coincide with those of a true NDE. After decades of investigation, researcher and psychiatrist Bruce Greyson, MD, has reported, “No one physiological or psychological model by itself explains all the common features of NDE.”*
