After I went off SSRIs (after having been on them for some decade or so) my "mystical" leanings--deep and absorbing interests in astrology, palmistry, crystals, etc.--completely vanished. Not sure if this is related to TLE in any way but I always felt there was a connection between the drug(s) and my mystical bent. I no longer have that "reaching out for the ineffable" feeling which was previously so intense.

I don't have epilepsy but when undergoing chemotherapy five years ago I had haleucinations in the hospital-euphoric in nature but not god-like. Were these study patients under the influence of any other drugs? Had they experimented with LSD, THC or ecstasy? I did as a teen. I think more study needs to be done. Too many variables not considered.

As an epileptic I know various brain things. Pressure on the brain can cause religious visions, personally I haven't had a tonic-clonic/grand-mal seizure in a while but last few ones I was half conscious for and came back very quickly from. One I was putting my clothes on at the gym and I couldn't get up for about 15 minutes. I'd worked out hard but I'd done that before. Couldn't keep my eyes open, distressed not sure what's what.
I could have pushed the emergency button next to the toliet but I snuck out because I just wanted to go home. I ruined my favorite shirt and cut my lip open. I called my bf so and caught a bus home.
