“3 Man Man Syndrome”: This wonderful event that can happen to you if you walk in length

have you ever heard of Third man syndrome This amazing experience M “was reported by an ultra-tril businessman during a meditation class. Alone, in the high mountains, after long racing, he described the amazing feeling of being with a third-party man, Which encouraged him and extended it in his efforts.

This was not the first time that I have heard of this form of hallucinations in the high mountains. Many courageous people crossed him, such as Ernest Shekalton in 1919: “Through the name of Southern Georgia, during this long and painful thirty -six hours, it often used to think that we were four, not three” ( South: Dheeraj Abhiyan, D’Ernest Shackleton).

A complex phenomenon to explain

These experiences questioned scientists. The first hypothesis will come from the occurrence of oxygen deficiency at a height. During laboratory studies, researchers mentioned a decrease in cognitive abilities (meditation, small -small memory and speed of treatment) when subjects remain a certain time in boxes that recite the conditions of the height (“” cognition and neurocycaological A review of a systematic literature at height according to the change “K. Blimserider et al., By brain sciences, 2022).

But, surprisingly, when similar tests are reproduced in the actual conditions in the high mountains, cognitive ability is normal, even improvement. Therefore the hypoxy will not explain the event. Another explanation will be psychological. The state of isolation, a completely white and repetitive landscape inspired sensory decrease and an acute level of physical stress is interpreted as a state of crisis by the brain. The presence of the presence of a hallucination will support mental unity, in a desperate attempt of the mind to survive.

A secret that can remain so

A final explanatory track would be the presence of a mental separation. In the grip of acute mental and physical stress, self-awareness is fragmented, which introduces a philanthropic ego out of itself. The presence will then expand the climber. What is left from this experience once down? Taking the form of a spiritual guide, such as Rainhold Masonar or Carlos Carsolio, see a lesson on a relationship with flexibility, belief, or even more than themselves.

I think the secret of the third man can never be completely resolved by science without integrating the spiritual aspect of human being. Let us then let us leave the final words to the poets: “Thus, the mountain used its power, not only on the bodies, but also on the souls, attracted them in its secret and its timeless seclusion”, (remove from The magic mountainFrom Thomas Mann).
