Books for a nihilistic-esque person coping philosophically with the fact that he had a supernatural experience?

In the middle of the brazilian jungle, four people in a car saw an all-white humanoid (disproportionate) figure in the middle of a pitch-black night that reacted to the driver's actions (the figure was just standing there, in front of the car's light, although in the dark still. Once the driver realised he was standing there, the figure walked towards us, and once the fist gear was set, he turned and disappered in the jungle). He went for an open clearing in the jungle and I flashed a big ass light to find him. He was nowhere to be seen, and we were close enough to know that there wasnt enough time for him to hide. Apart from his disproportionate body and all-white color, what was strange also is that he didn't carry any light source and it was a moonless, pitch-black night.

Unironically this.

I had a similar experience to you. Very nearly drove me insane. Undoubtedly the hardest thing i have ever dealt with, and perhaps the hardest thing anyone can deal with.
YOU know what I am talking about, because you finally get 'it'. People spend their whole lives running away from it, but i'm afraid you can't anymore.
Read 'The sickness unto death'. It will make sense now in a way it simply doesn't for most people.
(in fact, almost all professional scholarship on kierkegaard seems to miss the point, as they want him to be an existentialist philosopher, rather than an existentialist christian)

As a final note, it's going to get harder before it gets better. It's real 'valley of the shadow of death' thing, and there is no way you can go but through it (and you can't go back, as you will be starting to realise).

But as someone starting to see some light on the other side of it, just take this as something to give you strength: It's only by going through the absolute worst that you can ever begin to know what true hope and true goodness is. It's fragile, but it's all the more special because of that.

Best of luck anon, I will be thinking of you.

The sickness unto death. All of his literature, all his life in fact, was in response to one specific issue. He lays out the issue in TSUD.
