What if death wasn't the end? Dr. Eben Alexander, a renowned neurosurgeon, had a life-changing experience that challenged his scientific beliefs. While in a deep coma, he claims to have traveled "out of his body" and discovered a luminous reality filled with love. His unique testimony is captivating and invites reflection on consciousness beyond life.
