hmmmm...no, I do not believe you are correct about this. the nature of an epiphany is that it is NOT a variety of normal thinking.
there are certain contemplative disciplines that can lead to similar epiphanies of a psychedelic experience, but "taking the time to think long and hard" is not really one of the method's I'm familiar with. meditation is not "thinking long and hard".
- Bakary 9y agoWell I have had several moments where I suddenly experienced equal parts gut-wrenching and liberating realizations about my life an life in general. Whether or not these count as epiphanies is perhaps up for debate as I can't access other people's subjective experiences, but based on the descriptions of epiphanies given to me by others it sure seems extremely similar. I'm assuming that thinking hard about my life led to additional subconscious thinking which led to these realizations, just like any other eureka moment. It seems the wheels did churn out something behind the scenes, they just had to be prompted to do so.
