Mi'sen added,
How do they diagnose-away people who had visions, medically these days?
I don’t know, Ewan I’m not a psychologist. I’m just a bit of a meditation geek with a special interest in contemplatives who live/d in a way which provides clues to our individual and collective attachment to narratives, which become solidified into stable cultures/institutions.
I think 'visions' tend to get explained away as epilepsy these days. Someone said that about "the conversion of Paul' anyway. I also have an interest in "contemplatives" btw

Thanks for reminding me of the visionary experience <-> epilepsy connection, I heard of that from @Jayarava but never got around to reading up on it properly. It’s on my task list for January!https://twitter.com/jayarava/status/1041623087396073472?s=21 …

Indeed also, autism has a widely unknown connection to audio-visual hallucination - which might provide further clues for research in the future Plays into my long running joke about famous yogis being autistic; who else would do years of solo retreat!http://www.spectrumnews.org/news/hallucinations-unusually-common-adults-autism/ …
yes, it's not impossible. And all of this ties in with my preference for Taoism over the extreme behaviours of Buddhists and Christians.
