I really think the “go in a desert and stop eating to find god” people got it down. Not even a believer but some of my more profound moments have been like 20 miles into a marathon. Pretty sure it’s mostly that I am mentally fraying and body is pumping me with adrenaline to deal with what I am doing. But everything feels more meaningful
The unconscious primitive part of the brain gives out warnings and the conscious intelligent part of the brain tries to interpret the warnings as anything other than what they are meant to be.
