Orson is his name, apologies. Ben is his pseudonym I think (from a character in one of his books). I think he's a molecular biologist and currently studying in neuroscience.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at the blog but as for the book, I tend to agree with Tim: the moment I see some kind of religious connotation in the title I swerve away. Too many books about NDEs have been promoted as proof of Heaven or God or Angels. Firstly those experiences prove no such thing and secondly it is usually a marketing ploy by the publisher to attract the huge evangelical audience in the USA.
I do not make any clear distinction between mind and God. God is what mind becomes when it has passed beyond the scale of our comprehension.

It also seems to me that the books subject to this type of over-the-top evangelical marketing are often somewhat lacking in substance, most of the weight is in the cover page, rather than inside.

I am not familiar enough with the author to question if his intention was to push a particular religious view, but the matter of “BOL as God” seems like a valid metaphysical question. Perhaps not something that may belong in the cover, but relevant.
