Life Beyond Death

We probably all heard of Doctor Eben Alexander by now, the neuroscientist who now believes in heaven. For reference http://www.lifebeyonddeath.net/ is his website.

What is the TA opinion about this man's experiences?

Is he a crafty man exploiting the gullibility of the religious and becoming very rich indeed by selling his books.

- or -

May he indeed be on to something? Could there perhaps be such a thing as a collective universal conscience that we all join upon death and is our idea of simply ceasing to exist too short sighted?

So in short, is he a charlatan or a visionary?
