ANSWER: Chapel Perilous

do you mean Deja Vu? It kinda refers to having the feeling that you've been somewhere or experienced something before, even if you haven't.

no it's not deja vu...deja vu is about memory,but that dilemma is about seeing hallucinations or magical happenings which makes the observer to start questioning about everything and then result in a moment to choose between reality or illusion .

This one?

I tried asking ChatGPT your question and here's the answer:

Based on your description, it sounds like you might be thinking of "The Malady of Death" by Marguerite Duras. This novella explores the themes of love, identity, and reality through the relationship between a man and a woman, with the woman struggling to understand and accept the man's inability to connect emotionally.

In the story, the woman experiences a sense of disconnection from reality and questions the validity of her own perceptions, leading her to question the nature of reality itself. The novella has been translated into multiple languages, including Italian and French, and has been the subject of academic analysis and discussion.

I hope this information helps you find what you were looking for!

Hello! I believe the term you are looking for is "le syndrome de Capgras" or "Capgras syndrome." It is a rare psychiatric disorder in which a person believes that their loved ones have been replaced by imposters or doubles, leading them to doubt the reality of their own perceptions. The syndrome is named after Joseph Capgras, a French psychiatrist who first described it in 1923. I hope this helps!

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with your search. The phenomenon you are referring to is known as "solipsism syndrome," which is a philosophical idea that suggests that one's own mind is the only thing that can be known or verified to exist. It is often associated with the feeling of uncertainty or doubt about the nature of reality and the validity of one's own perceptions.

However, based on your description, it sounds like you may be thinking of a specific work of fiction or philosophy that explores this concept. Unfortunately, without more specific details, it is difficult for me to identify the exact work you are referring to.

no and thankyou for your effort,it had an italian or french name and it was about a man in a jungle i guess.i think other old members might know it.

Are you thinking of Merleau-Ponty and Hallucination?

Or jamais vu?

One love

no jamais vu is a subtype of dejavu and merlau ponty i didn't found anything on his wiki page about hallucination ,i wanted to ask you by private message...good to see you here again.

it was a sentimental moment like existential crisis but for hallucinations,illusions and delusions.

It was a long shot, but thought it was worth a try

It's good to see you my friend. Hope all has been well.



One love

I don't know if there's a term for it, but this is an interesting topic. I remember that Carl Jung went through something like this, and this is how shamanic initiation is sometimes described. Also, the dark night of the soul comes into my mind, but that is not associated with visionary states usually.

Chapel Perilous?

but I take it as a period in life, not a moment.

YESSS...thats it
its actually a Latin name not french or italian.
wikipedia page chapel perilous
why it hasn't get much attention?there are 2 other wiki pages with similar names but its unrelated and about movie and a book.
i remember last time i visited its wiki page it was a black-white picture.
i think they should add more description about chapel perilous

On my second LSd trip about 20 years back I was all alone and entered a fantastic world of hallucinations and after coming back all i kept asking myself is which world is real this one or that one, eventually I concluded both worlds are real and have their place in my life

Fascinating concept, thanks goodone22 and Exitwound. I like Antero Alli's view of it as a rite of passage and it becomes an extremely significant event.

Let's take a moment or three to remember Robert Anton Wilson, in whose book, "Cosmic Trigger - Final Secret of the Illuminati" I first encountered the term "chapel perilous". RAW RIP.

Great book and great mind, RIP.
