Motorcycling home in the morning, I wondered if I was the last human on earth... until I saw someone 30 minutes into the ride.

Instead of demanding answers it's possible to curiously examine where your experiences might be lacking, because then you might figure out where to look.

Many can experience significant stress or trauma naturally leading to heightened physiological and psychological awareness, it's not a stretch to imagine that could give them a better understanding how the self/ego reacts to the world because that is the source of their pain.

This archetype exists many different forms be they drug induced, "enlightenment", kundalini awakening or seen in Buddhist monks, kung fu masters, famous scientists, philosophers, and historical figures.

If you are genuinely curious there is a British Buddhist monk named Ajahn Brahm[1]. He will be able to communicate the ideas in a western style. It just a starting point though as it has to be experienced first hand either with significant life events or through someone who has already experienced it.

There's nothing sad about it and, judging by GP's writing, the concern isn't privacy.

I didn't ask for your opinions on how GP supposedly got this experience, I asked GP. His post comes off as outright fiction or condescending virtue signaling. So does yours, and nobody even asked for your input.

I was naive to do something like that without enough research.

Also as Jung said unearned wisdom can be dangerous.

The comment above yours got it pretty close though.

Also I think if I disclose more I think it's possible someone else who knew me can associate this account with me. Have friends that are active on HN.

You are absolutely insufferable. This all reeks of ego.

Just don't bring it up if you're not willing to openly discuss how you got there. Not that I believe you, anyway, of course.
