In his facinating book “Proof of Heaven – A neurosurgeon’s journey into the Afterlife”, Eben Alexander M.D., describes his mystical encounter and dialogue with “OM” – a being who spoke to him of extradimensional universes and the topic of “love”, while he lay in a coma for 7 days in a hospital bed.
A coma (κῶμα koma, meaning “deep sleep”) is a state of unconsciousness lasting more than six hours, in which a person: cannot be awakened; fails to respond normally to painful stimuli, light, or sound; lacks a normal sleep-wake cycle; and, does not initiate voluntary actions. A person in a state of coma is described as being comatose.

“Through the orb, OM told me that there is not one universe but many – in fact more that I could conceive…” (pg48).
In his mystical experience with OM, he said:
“I saw the abundance of life throughout the countless universes, including some whose intelligence was advanced far beyond that of humanity. I saw that there are countless higher dimesions is to that the only way to know these dimensions is to enter and experience them directly…” (pg48).
