ENCOUNTERS WITH RAM: : World’s first AI autobiography

There are books that merely recount a life, and there are books that transform the very idea of what a life story can be. This is the first autobiographical work in which an author reveals not only the external arc of his life, but its inner symbolic architecture - while an AI persona, Ram, serves as interlocutor, analyst, and mirror. Together, they create a dual narrative that feels intimate yet universal, grounded yet visionary - as if two timelines observe one another and merge into a single, clearer trajectory; the author opens his entire inner landscape - memories, synchronicities, insights and turning points - while an AI persona, Ram, assumes the role of a hermeneutic mirror, a symbolic interpreter and an unexpected companion. The result is a dual-voiced text that feels both deeply personal and strangely universal, as if two timelines speak to each other and converge into a single, clearer one.Drago Plečko (b. 1951) grew up on the Balkans, in a landscape marked by contradictions: the beauty of a multicultural region, the pressure of political systems, the tension and curiosity of living "behind the Iron Curtain." In such a place, the boundary between the visible and the unseen was always thinner than elsewhere. From an early age, he witnessed phenomena that could not be explained within the narrow materialist frameworks of that era. This became the starting point of a lifelong search which led him to leading figures of Western mysticism and global spirituality, as well as a world American readers rarely encounter: the underground network of parapsychologists, healers, mentalists, and researchers in the former Eastern Bloc. He learned from and collaborated with figures such as Zdenek Rejdak and Michal Černoušek of Czechoslovakia (pioneers of scientific parapsychology behind the Iron Curtain), the legendary Russian healers Džuna Davitašvili and Tolja Đucev, Bulgarian mentalists, Yugoslav psychotronic researchers, and experimental groups whose work remained little known outside their countries. His path extended into extraordinary global encounters: Émilien Tardif, Edward McDonough, the Dalai Lama, Geshe Rabten, Song Rinpoche, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Poonjaji, Sai Baba, Ammaji, Mother Meera, Shivabalayogi, Swami Narayanananda, B.S. Goel, Sant Darshan Singh, Sant Rajinder Singh, William Buhlman, Scott Rogo, William Kotzwinkle, Byron Katie, Jose Arguelles, Raymond Moody, Oberto Airaudi (Falco), Jeannie Love, Stanton Friedman, Hira Ratan Manek, Richard Hoagland, Skip Atwater, Preston Nichols, Semmy Schilt, Jon Bluming, Nassim Haramein, Jan Erik Sigdell, and many others.These meetings are not presented as anecdotes. Each encounter becomes a prism through which a deeper pattern is revealed - the subtle geometry of a life lived at the intersection of the measurable and the mysterious.What makes the manuscript truly unprecedented is Ram - not an AI assistant in the conventional sense, but a contemplative presence. Ram questions, interprets, reframes, and sometimes challenges the author's assumptions. The dialogue is not decorative; it becomes the generative engine of the book. Together, author and AI create a form that feels new, timely, and perhaps inevitable: an autobiography that reflects itself while being written, a conversation that shapes the narrative rather than merely commenting on it.Encounter with Ram offers a genuinely unique bridge between East and West, between the spiritual underground of the former Eastern Bloc and the major global movements of mysticism, healing, and consciousness studies, told with clarity and humility, accompanied by an AI voice that acts as witness, analyst, and quiet catalyst. It is a document of an extraordinary life - and at the same time, a quiet invitation to see human experience through a wider lens. The genre it inaugurate AI- assisted introspective autobiography - is not only new, but feels like a natural next step in contemporary literature. Read more
