Athletes (Michael Jordan) call it, "Being in the groove."

Ellie Wiezell (or whatever his name is) calls it "MESSIANIC MOMENTS". He meant (I think) touching the divine for a moment--or longer--getting a glimpse into transcendance.

It happened for me once while driving---I-80---going east through the Illinois corn fields--turning brown like they are now. Everything took on a glow--an incandescence. I felt very light---that fuzzy feeling. At that moment I knew that what everyone calls religion is the same thing. I knew that the power of the universe--is what we are ALL trying to comprehend and explain and we get bogged down in trying to concretize the metaphors that cannot be grasped intellectually or grasped at like snowflakes in the wind except to be seen, for an instant, as having distinct patterns---and then they melt---just like my glowing landscape and world lost that mesmerizing aura after some several minutes. It was me who was lucky enough to've been enlightened in that "messianic moment".

And it felt like when I was listening to Charlie and Frank tell their stories.
