I have felt a great sense of enlightened several times in the past. It's most similar to the feeling of flow while programming... When you're juggling all the pieces of a big question and somehow they all slot into place. Everything just makes sense, but it's easily disrupted.
It's impossible for me to maintain for long, but I do my best to collect takeaways while I can.
Mostly what comes back with me are cheesy phrases like "just do your best" or "everything will be ok". Occasionally I come back with some type of specific insights about how to approach a problem that has been causing me problems or newfound motivation to persevere.
Occasionally I think about starting a cult afterward, but I really just want to collect kind, intelligent and motivated people around me. Would that really be so bad?
- unkulunkulu 6y agoI have had a couple of moments in life when a lot of pieces fall in place and perspective changes. A friend of mine found a nice metaphor for this: a supercooled water, the mind looking for an answer or a solution to a problem and then something happens and the crystallization starts and now everything is suddenly ice. Definitely great moments leaving strong emotional impact and sense of joy and happiness.
