  1. The amount of my brain that I use surges just before a grand mal seizure. For that brief moment, I am completely aware of an increased awareness and absorption of all sensory inputs on a global level. The capacity surge is experienced on both spheres. It isn’t a slow-motion experience in real-time. It is a slow-motion experience when my mind tries to absorb what it is looking back on and that takes years to learn how to do – just my unprofessional, personal experience that could very well be unique to me. :)
