With his innumerable presentations on his subject, and the books that he authored, he proved how well he understood the human brain to its tiniest details.

Alexander's Encounter With Death

Doctors were totally sure that he would not survive this bacterial attack and even if he did, he would be bed ridden throughout his life. A primary part of his brain that governed its activities, shut down due to which Dr Eben' ability for expression was lost. Doctors, fully giving up hopes of his revival, were about to pull out the vent at which point, Eben woke up, fully alert, with no signs of meningitis, hale and hearty. Not only this, he described what had happened when he was disconnected from the world for a brief moment when his thoughts and emotions had stopped functioning. Eben Alexander is a living medical miracle who travelled far away from earth, into the other realms, and met the primordial source of the universe.
