I was never sure when I would get to this point, but perhaps I should start talking about euphoric seizures. How do they feel? What do they mean?
I have had four instances that could be considered "euphoric" off-hand. At some point I feel like I should try to describe them as best as I can for others that may also have them or for those that are simply curious. Further, as with my South Africa blog (philosophyisfashionable.blogspot.com), I would like to be sure to say something in case at some point in the future I should forget too many details. That way, I can come back and jog my own memory if it should need to come to that.
“A happiness unthinkable in the normal state and unimaginable for anyone who hasn’t experienced it… I am then in perfect harmony with myself and the entire universe,” as Dostoevsky wrote.
Yes there are parts of this sublime sense of bliss. But depending on how they come about and what their content is and who is having them, I would suggest that the actual decision-making part of whether to walk the path or not comes down more to a Hamlet's "to be or not to be" internal discussion.
A bit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmHDhAohJlQ
versus this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhuGQUZJot8
as your internal dialogue.
What would you do?
