Good story.  The Republican junior senator from Illinois, Sen. Mark Kirk, had a visit from 3 angels during his stroke last year.  It's interesting to me that a brain surgeon (Dr. Eben Alexander), a brain scientist (Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor) and now a senator have had these experiences -- and are telling about them.  All of them say it changed their life forever.  They now see things differently, with a feeling that all humanity is One.  Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have an experience like this?  It would change our world!  The only way a skeptic like Michael Shermer (head of the skeptics magazine) would ever agree that we are more than our body and our mind is to have a near-death experience himself.  Even then, he'd probably feel more responsibility to the skeptics of the world than to his own experience and would label it as a "brain aberration" or some such thing. Shermer is proof that it's definitely possible to be TOO skeptical for one's own good.
