I had an illnesses that made eating impossible without instant expulsion from one orifice or another. They never figured out what caused it, really. It caused my senses to ramp up into some kind of surreal level of acuity.
Wow. I have never heard of anything like that. Did it shift your perspective in a big way. That's a big deal. And afterwards you were normal?

When all was said and done it did. It culminated in a kind of NDE and changed the entire trajectory of my life. Stuff that was important before just wasn't anymore afterwards. Philosophical questions became the focal point.

So it seems like a blessing in the big picture maybe. NDE are powerful. There must have been some higher reason for it.

Oh, without a doubt there was. It took me a long time to understand it, though. It made me "out of step" with the rest of the world, and that turned out to be a good thing.

Have you shared about this story at length on SN before? Sounds like a great story that could inspire others.
reply
Not specifically. I might have to do that one of these days. I'd rather avoid doxxing myself, as the story was told elsewhere.
