I Might Be Wrong

Let’s begin here:

I may be wrong.

In 2016, I had a heart attack at 36 years old. I was alone in my living room. I blacked out. And during the 10–15 minutes I was unconscious, I experienced something that fundamentally altered my life.

Was it a near-death experience?
Was it oxygen deprivation?
Was it a surge of neural activity in a dying brain?
Was it trauma-induced visionary reconstruction?

I do not know.

And that uncertainty matters.

Because this is not a book written from the position of certainty. It is written from the position of transformation.

During that blackout, I experienced what I can only describe as a moral reckoning. The imagery was vivid — courtroom symbolism, a weighing of the heart, beings that reflected the cosmologies I had studied — Christian theology intertwined with Enochian angelic mysticism. The experience felt structured, relational, and loving. It felt like evaluation without condemnation.

But here is the important part:

Even if every image was generated by my own brain under extreme physiological stress…

The change that followed was real.

I became more present.
More open with love.
More aware of the ripple effects of my choices.
Less casual about the sacredness of life.

The question at the center of the experience was not:
“What do you believe about the afterlife?”

It was:
“Are you living aligned with what you know is right?”

This blog is not an attempt to prove metaphysics.
It is not a declaration of spiritual authority.
It is not medical advice.
It is not a rejection of neuroscience.

It is an exploration.

If the brain constructed the experience, then perhaps the brain has profound moral architecture built into it.
If consciousness filtered something larger, then perhaps reality is more relational than mechanical.

Either way — something happened.

And it changed me.

I remain skeptical.
I question myself.
I worry that synapses fired and my mind created coherence out of chaos.

But I also cannot deny this:

I love better now.

And that is worth examining.
