What are we doing here?


Q&A with Dr. Eben Alexander, Near-Death Experiencer, Neurosurgeon

You touched upon our reasons for existence here, can we just end with giving us a little sense of what we are doing here?  

Yes. It is such a beautiful message and in many ways it is so simple. And what my experience very plainly demonstrated is that our consciousness, our spirit, our soul is eternal -- we are spiritual beings.  It is not dependent on the brain and we are so much more than our physical bodies; and, our true reason for being here, as a spirit and soul, extends far beyond the simple materialist view that it just goes, birth-to-death, and that’s all there is.  We are so much more than that.  And our relationships with our fellow souls are far richer than that ... as the meaning and purpose for our being here at all.
