Science admits Heaven exists

For ages science and theology have butted heads over their respective claims about the authenticity of the spiritual world.  Karl Marx once claimed religion was the "opiate of the people" while Charles Darwin disputed the Bible's creation myth as either irrelevant or incorrect in his evolutionary thesis of life on Earth.  Meanwhile, the Church herself has been guilty of discrimination against scientists in the past.  

As we as a global species have grappled with the greatest question of all time - what happens when we die? - we may have found the question was circular, the answer illusive.  We sought the answer with our intellect but found it in our heart - our soul and mind - which so far exceed the consciousness of our limited intellect. Attempting to answer this age old question with science - as Darwin and others have attempted - is like looking for the Garden of Eden or Noah's Ark on the map.

Myth probes the far reaches of our limitless singular human soul beyond the telescope or microscope. The realm of the spirit is best explained and understood through myth. Science still may not yet comprehend it at this point of our collective awareness. So, it must be - as it always was -  experiential.  

Today there seems to be a considerable agreement among physicists in the new quantum understanding of the universe as well as the marvelous power potential in the human being's ability to affect materiality through focused, intentional thought.

And, yet, even with all that commonality among scientists and theologians, there has been a strong reluctance for medicine to admit the existence of "heaven" or a realm of spiritual reality beyond our mortal / material lives. 

Dr. Eben Alexander, a neurosurgeon, once held a reductionist view about life after death, claiming that it was caused by an electrical firing of the brain at the time of death.  However, when he came down with meningitis and himself entered into a coma with a brain dead diagnosis, his own experience was so pervasive that he couldn't deny what others have experienced spiritually.  When he came out of the coma, with a fully functioning brain, he reported a life changing experience so profound, so beautiful and breaktaking. 

Last Monday, I ran a video about Jeff's life after death experience. Jeff was already a religious person, but Dr. Alexander was not.  His story is awesome.
