simulation theory, multiple worlds concept
The experience contains some standard NDE elements like out-of-body perception and altered consciousness, but lacks encounters with divine beings or spiritual realms typically associated with biblical accounts. The experiencer developed beliefs about reality being a simulation or game where certain people are "players" who can control circumstances through focused intention. This mechanistic, game-like view of existence contradicts biblical teachings about God's sovereignty and the nature of reality as His creation. The absence of any spiritual beings, divine light, or afterlife realm, combined with the development of simulation theory beliefs, places this experience outside traditional biblical frameworks. While the experience led to some positive changes in perspective, the resulting worldview of life as a controllable game diverges significantly from biblical understanding of divine providence and human agency.
Nikita P was at a youth festival concert when he fainted after falling off a balance board, hitting his neck and arm. While unconscious for what others said was about two minutes, he experienced a slowing of consciousness where time seemed distorted. He heard strange chorus sounds and robotic voices that seemed both near and far. In the darkness, he saw a peculiar sphere resembling a glass ball with fish-eye lens distortion, containing spots with images from his immediate surroundings - lantern garlands, a spruce tree, a man in a festival hood, puddles on the road. He could examine these images by mentally approaching them, realizing they represented the environment around his unconscious body. Recognizing he hadn't achieved everything he wanted in life, he made a conscious choice to return to reality. Upon awakening, he felt shaken and afraid of fainting again. The experience led him to believe our world may not be entirely real, possibly one of many worlds or a simulation, and that death is not something to fear.
