Insights from near-death experiences, coincidence, and the evolution of consciousness.

What if humanity’s biggest problem isn’t a lack of intelligence… but a lack of heart?


In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman speaks with Eben Alexander, one of the most recognized voices in near-death experience (NDE) research and consciousness studies. But this conversation isn’t a retelling of his famous NDE. Instead, it asks a more urgent question:


How might spiritual awakening help humanity change course—right now?


Alexander frames consciousness as shared rather than separate—a single mind with many expressions. Using the metaphor of a diamond, he suggests each of us is a facet contributing to the evolution of consciousness itself. From this perspective, love, compassion, and kindness aren’t ideals—they’re structural forces.


A key highlight of the episode is the idea of life reviews reported in many NDEs, where people don’t just remember their actions but experience them from the perspective of others. If consciousness is interconnected, then ethics aren’t abstract. To harm another is, quite literally, to harm yourself.


The conversation also touches on coincidence and synchronicity—not as curiosities, but as signals of deeper connection. Alexander describes moments of intuition, unexpected knowing, and “more being communicated than words,” pointing toward a world where meaning isn’t random and connection runs beneath the surface of ordinary life.


This episode offers a glimpse of a different operating system for humanity—one grounded not in fear or competition, but in connection, coincidence, and care.
