Brain death and the Soul

[Shakuhachi]

Impossible to know about the soul. Maybe part of its power still sustains the body a bit even as the person as we know moves on.

According to a very interesting book I read a couple of years ago, a neurosurgeon was clinically brain-dead, his soul left his body, and then returned.

“Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey Into the Afterlife,” by Dr. Eben Alexander

his soul left his body, and then returned

Whilst I haven’t read that book, to me, that is more along the lines of a near death experience. Because once a person is truly dead, they immediately undergo their particular judgement and go to their reward or punishment or purification.

I can remember hearing over the years of various peoples’ near death experience - all of which is rather interesting.

The clue is in the name. It’s not called a ‘near death’ experience for nothing. They weren’t dead and they didn’t die so there was no coming back. They never left in the first place.
