Psychosis, supernatural, hallucinations and NDE

[esther]

Hi there,

I've had a story to tell, one of psychosis (quite a supernatural one at that), and it is very detailed (and I would say symmetrical) indeed. I've found nowhere where I can share it safely. So I've decided to dedicate my web site to this cause. Creating a safe place for someone to share her experience , which certain people will dismiss as rubbish.

Relevant experiences would be Psychosis, supernatural, hallucinations and Near Death Experience. My own experience was a cross between psychosis and NDE, and it was VERY spiritual and spooky.

If you're interested in this topic, visit Main Page - knowledgesuccess.com. I'm accepting stories to be published, which relate to the topic.

Many thanks Erin and Steve for all your fantastic advice. I'm currently trying to increase my vibration, my consciousness level. You said follow my passion, and all of a sudden it clicked (after, I must tell you, MUCH discomfort and wondering about this and that and what I could possibly do). This is my passion (psychosis stories)! I sure don't know how to make money out of it, but I'm hoping things will unfold, and this will open some doors, which I don't have any concept of at the moment.

So please feel free to visit my site. At the least you will find (I hope) an interesting supernatural story to read.

Or you may choose to share your story.

Also, has anyone got any pointers as to where else I would be able to reach more people, relating to this topic?

I'm doing my own research as well, and this post is part of it.

Thanks once again Steve and Erin! It was Steve's story about people who have jobs being professional gamblers, which sparked this off. (Not this psychosis bit, the following one's passion bit!)

Any and all comments graciously accepted.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the psychotic episodes that people experience are due to ESP phenomena that their minds are unable to absorb or process, i.e. information or sensation entering one's consciousness in a distorted or corrupted fashion, sort of like playing really loud, unpleasant static or squealing sounds on a poorly tuned radio.

[esther]

Strange, I was thinking the exact same thing. Just updated my site right now when your post arrived here. Can I post it on my site?

i read your website - the first story about Kim & Neil and such. It is a very interesting story. I am very intrigued. I still don't get it, and you are totally leaving out the ending and such... which makes me want to find out more...

Anyway, I can see maybe you can turn this into a book, or a novel, or something of a series of novels. Kinda like Warhammer or something.
Info on Warhammer here:
EA Mythic | Warhammer Online

I can see similarities in what I know of Warhammer (very little, 2nd hand) and what your story says.

But it's a good story - though very confusing and hard to follow. But you could possibly publish a book or novel, or something from it. I would definitely read it.

NS - thanks! I would be interested in finding out which parts are confusing so that I can express them better. If you wouldn't mind making a comment or two it might point me in the right direction.

I have the whole "story" in my head with all the details connecting very well together. Expressing the story in words is quite a challenge, because a great deal of it was communicated psychically - without words - in images and concepts.

I will try and get the story completed as soon as possible. It will take a while though.

I'm tempted to tell you a detail about Kim, about who she turns out to be... but that would take much of the fun out of reading the complete story...

Very kind comments though, thank you. I am indeed considering the ideas you wrote, like turning it into a book.

[ns123]

Well, your story starts out kind of in the middle. And it's not really a "story" in it's present form. It's more a recounting of your experience... right?

You can introduce all the elements of your experience I think in story form. I like how you start with the drug cocktail... but that wasn't too clear. I didn't get it that you had drank a drug cocktail until a bit further.

And you have all this intro stuff... which is a lot of words, but I slogged through all of it. There is a lot of background stuff missing - like what is a guide? (I know, but a normal reader wouldn't). I'd like more background info on Kim and when she appeared in your life...

Basically, you had an NDE or something like it, I take it? I am very new to this stuff, so I don't quite get a lot of it.

I dunno what advice I could give you. Your story kind of started in the middle... and didn't have an end. If it was more complete, I could give you a better opinion. I can't do a movie review on a "trailer."

I know nothing of writing a novel... so I dunno what I can offer. And I'm a little bothered you didn't finish your story... cuz I HAVE to know what happens. I really liked how you said you were such an old soul, and how Kim had this fixation on you like she really wanted to be with you because you would normally not even give her the time of day. I like that character twist, that you were this really old all knowing soul, and she, this lower soul, but on this earth, she had the advantage cuz of the veil drawn over you...

But most of this would be totally lost on me if I had not been introduced to this before your story. So background info is better - but make it in story form. Or introduce it later... or something.

I dunno if I helped. But I really like what you have. It's very interesting. And even if it was all a hallucination or not "real" it is still entertaining. Think Lord of the Rings. Not real, but entertaining.

NS,

I'm loving that you are intrigued about the story, and some of the elements. Some of the most interesting bits still have to be written.

Your comments have given me valuable guidelines as how to restructure it. Would you mind if I use you as an occasional critic? Then you would get to see more of the story, earlier, and wouldn't have to buy the story, if it did get published.

Yes I do consider it NDE. The first part NDE, the second part psychosis. I do believe that I came out of my body, but that the memory of that was mostly hidden or perhaps even changed or substituted with something else.

Also about slugging through the intro. I had some idea that would be the case but you've confirmed it now. So I will restructure. I think maybe it should start with some action and then fit in background info, so as to reel the reader in more and keep her interest.

I should probably do some research on how to write more effectively. Yes I'm just sharing experience - it sounds funny in terms of the story - but it is pure fact - exactly as it happened. I realize that it needs all the things you mentioned - elaboration on what a guide is, etc.

[pianoperformer]

That's an amazing story, but I can't wait to see the ending, lol. When do you expect to have more of it up?

I hope things are a lot better now than they seem to have been for you.

[esther]

Hi Pianoperformer,

Thanks for the good review. I'm looking for people to critique the story. Anyone who wishes to do so I would appreciate it. Those people I can send a PM or an email with the new chapters.

I've already got another chapter ready, so it is ready to be sent.

Oh yes, and I am feeling better. Its a tough road but I've got the hint from above. I have to stick around no matter what.

[ns123]

esther,

I dunno how much help I can be for you... but sure, I would love to read your story as it unfolds and offer any opinions that I can. You're kinda opening up the flood gates there, as I am full of opinions.

Maybe you should start a mailing list of people who are interested in updates to your story? When you do, I'll sign up. That would be the easiest way to get the word out on updates to your story.

Sure, no problem.

[pianoperformer]

I'd also be willing to review new chapters.

I agree with ns123 on the mailing list idea.

[esther]

To NS and Pianoperformer,

Yes great idea. I created the group you can find it at:

unbelievablerealities : Unbelievable Realities

If you sign up I will approve your membership.

Looking forward to working with you and hopefully we get to the point of discussing royalties and or credits on the back cover of the book! lol

NS - Being full of opinions sounds like exactly what I need.

I've got 28 written pages and 4 of them translated into what you've read already. Oh, and the written pages aren't even the complete story. I hope it doesn't turn into a 1000 page epic

If anyone else is interested in joining, please feel free.

With great appreciation for the miracles in this realm,

Esther

[esther]

JSB: Thanks, and it is done.

NS and Piano: I'm really looking forward to this. There are a few more twists which I think you will enjoy. Next chapter is ready.

[ns123]

esther,

Long books are ok. One of my favorite authors has a 2000+ page book - her series of books so far, there are SEVEN books. She goes into vivid details, and it takes her two years to write one book... in which, when it is released, always hits the NYTimes bestseller list. (Diana Gabaldon)

So don't worry about length! And if it turns into series of books - based on your true life experiences, that's ok. Lots of authors have been successful at that!

And you know what? Doing all this, pretty much costs you nothing (except time). So risk is very little.

Anyway, how do i see the next chapter of your book? Cuz the last chapter I read was:
Why Kim was attracted to me (and why she was helping) - knowledgesuccess.com

I didn't see any other subsequent chapters.
