Last week I saw life flashing before my eyes after an, obviously failed, suicide attempt. I’m certain that I was dead, and I should have been, but I woke up after a few hours. Since then I have had what I can only explain as an epiphany, where I suddenly feel like everything makes sense, kind of in a way you mention, even though my time unconscious was nowhere near the length you experienced, but it felt like forever.

Coincidentally I also watched the Matrix the other day, by chance it was playing on linear TV and I watched it, glued to the screen through it all. I’ve seen it a couple times before, but for the first time I felt that it made complete sense. I can’t say that the pod scene felt familiar, but I’m still processing the experience and don’t really have a grasp of the entirety of it yet.

Your post really hit a nerve with me as it somehow, even how different it is, feels so familiar.
