People of Lemmy, have you ever had what some would consider a "spiritual" experience? (lemm.ee)

Kind of? I was in college walking on campus in broad daylight. I pass under this skywalk, with nobody in my general vicinity. As I do, I feel what feels like someone was walking past me coming from the opposite, locking their arm into mine. I got pulled back enough to stumble.

Sure enough, nobody nearby, no objects right near me or anything I could have accidentally gotten caught up on. Still have no idea what happened there. And for the record, this was before I ever had tried alcohol and I don’t really do drugs, so I can’t blame those.

I'd like to think that that 5 second interaction kept you from getting run over or something later on

How did that affect you?

[–] ndguardian@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was weird, but I haven’t really made heads or tales of it. Hadn’t really encountered anything like that before and haven’t since, but it was just bizarre.

I mean, right then, at the second after it happened

[–] ndguardian@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago

Oh lol. Well I was certainly confused. Had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t just so zoned out I walked into something, and after I confirmed I didn’t I just had no idea what to think. It was truly unexplainable, at least for me.
