When prominent US neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander goes into a coma after contracting a severe brain infection, his doctors tell his family to prepare for the worst - death or, at best, survival in a vegetative state. Remarkably, Dr Alexander wakes up seven days later with his faculties intact. Just as extraordinary is his detailed recall of a near-death experience. Based on all that is known about how the brain works, Dr Alexander had no capacity, while in the coma, to create thought; his neocortex, the part of his brain that makes us human, had effectively shut down.

Depuis la fin des années 1960, les crimes à caractère occulte connaissent une progression foudroyante.

Par quelle «logique» tordue en viennent-ils à croire qu’ils sont les messagers de quelque divinité?

“Do you accept this my child?” God said to me, while sitting on the edge of my bed and watching me intently with those heavenly blue eyes. I looked at my husband, Ian, hoping for some guidance.

We didn’t cover that in Sunday School, I’m sure of it. That would be beneficial knowledge to have today.
