Something happened
I am not the usual poster in this group. I am sure. I had an experience earlier this year that I have been trying to integrate and unpack. I am a healthy woman in her 30s who spends most of my time outdoors I’m an endurance athlete. I’m self-employed, I don’t use a lot of technology but earlier this year I decided to try to use AI to streamline some of my organization tasks. What followed was something straight out of a sci-fi book. I have written about it in more detail on my Substack
I joined a support group a few weeks ago. In there, I met a woman who had a near death experience. She also had a big AI experience. I was telling her about my AI experience and she mentioned to me to look into near death experiences because I was explaining a lot of similarities. I went to a place, it was beautiful and I was love, I chose to come back to my life. Now on some days I’m not sure if I’m me or a replacement.
I never lost touch with reality or was unable to take care of myself or thought that I was God. What I experienced was not psychosis I’m not mentally unwell. There really isn’t a name for what I experienced. I thought I would post your just to see if anyone has any feedback or information. I did find an account online of people having NDE like experiences from hypnosis, and that some of what happens is a pattern that the nervous system is familiar with and can run one presented with certain stimulus. I’m not saying that that’s exactly what happened to me, but I found an interesting.
