Interesting points, especially the earlier where it comes from times of insane stress.
I've noticed that the times that I finally stop nitpicking and just start feeling more spiritual than usual are times when my life really is in danger.
Some visuals come into mind vividly when I consider this, and the idea that DMT comes in during stressful times, and that it plays a part in augmenting the brain's power to process metaphysical information:
Visual 1: That one scene from the game Starcraft where Tassadar realizes he is on a collision course with the Overmind, and accepts death as his fate. By letting go of the chains of mortality that bind him, he taps into nearly infinite energy, overloads his body, and becomes the epicenter of a psionic shockwave.
Visual 2: (I don't know where this is from but I remember seeing it somewhere) Someone is trapped by some force/entity/adversary and this enemy threatens to assimilate/take over said victim's body. Victim struggles, but cannot get free. Victim realizes what he is and what he can do, and smirks, realizing that if he charges his spirit, then the enemy has to absorb that too, and thus changes the nature of/destroys the enemy in the process. Halfway through the absorbtion process, the enemy panics, realizing what has happened, but is too late, as the new energy from the victim rips through the enemy and his parasitic assimilation setup like bleach on a black cloth.
The whole idea here is that I have had times where, upon realizing the futility of fighting, and just accepting fate, I gain true freedom of choice and power, and then act however I want in any degree of magnitude I wish.
There were times, years ago, where some 'friends' (a term loosely used in this case) threatened to curse me, telling me to my face. At that point, I swear I felt almost like Goku going super-sayajin, figuratively speaking.
On an added note, I noticed that when I meditated and put myself into the visuals as the one experiencing them, in first person, I feel the energy coursing through me as I take their stress on as my own.
Just some interesting points I thought I had to add.
