I'm curious to know how an epiphany affects ones brain chemistry. I have recently experienced a rather large epiphany and I'm trying to compare that feeling to what one may feel when they "find the lord," or when they "hit rock bottom," or when they "find the error in their ways" in case you were wondering. :wink:

Any information about why a "eureka!" moment can change who a person is entirely would be extremely helpful

To find out first hand, take a donkey rid to Damascus.

No, you're ok. ruveyn was referring to the apostle Paul.

oh ok Saul>Paul. Thats a good example of what I would like to explain what happened to him psychologically, and then how it relates to the change people make when they have had a life changing epiphany.
