Эпилепсия и религиозный экстаз: http://gutta-honey.livejournal.com/124647.html

Сразу вспоминаются описания приступа в "Идиоте". Ф.М. знал о чем говорит.

конечно знал

[_tsvetkov_]

The air was filled with a big noise, and I thought that it
had engulfed me. I have really touched God. He came
into me myself, yes, God exists, I cried, and I don’t
remember anything else. You all, healthy people, he
said, can’t imagine the happiness which we epileptics feel
during the second before our attack. I don’t know if this
felicity lasts for seconds, hours, or months, but believe
me, for all the joys that life may bring, I would not
exchange this one... Such instants were characterized
by a fulguration of the consciousness and by a supreme
exaltation of emotional subjectivity.
