>>14275465weirdly similar event happened to me.
anyways OP like others in this thread I believe the world outside of perception, if you tried to perceive it, would look like nothing. the real “reality” is transparent to any perception, we cannot “see” it but we are always looking right at it. I call this the face of God. in Abrahamic religions they describe God’s true face in a similar way i.e. invisible. and there is some desire for every soul to “see” God, but to see it would destroy you. when I had what I believe to be an NDE during a traffic accident, there was no light. just warm and comforting darkness, like being in bed.
in some allegorical sense I believe this darkness was God’s face. if you think about it, darkness is a unifying force. take for example a dark room. it’s just as likely the the room is empty or that any number of things could be in that room, but until light divides them they are an indistinct whole in the darkness. I feel that the misery of life’s transience is a consequence of light making us appear apart, finite, and different. in darkness we become one.
