For me, the closest thing to a "holy" or "magical" experience comes with a changed environment - drowsing on an intercity bus and waking to the new sounds at my destination; rousing from a nap into the altered light and chemistry of a given day.
In those moments there is a quiet in my mind that makes my thoughts feel like a crust of untouched snow.
My first words, whatever they might be, powerful enough to transform everything.
I've never had a word for this.
But it is so precious every time.
@MLClark Transcendence?
No, there's something more acutely embodied about the experience - not a rising above it, or one's corporeal self.
Possibly closer to a Taoíst description of oneness: an elevated awareness of the relationship between thought and reality, and of the specialness of every other thought-reality relationship in the vicinity.
@MLClark HAL 9000 -- Murderous AI, now with optional thesaurus!
I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't synonymize that. 🔴
@MLClark If only Dave Bowman had seen this Star Trek episode ...
"HAL, compute to the last digit, the value of Pi."
Problem solved.
@WordsmithFL
😬 Your thesaurus doesn't talk to you through a light like this one, does it? Because when this suggestion engine runs out of alternatives, it's a very different situation for us all...
