in all seriousness, there was a brief period of my life where this was true for me. I had an accident where i was knocked out mountainviking and woke up with a stretcher being setup beside me. I had a TBI and for about a fortnight i could not string a thought together.

Apart from the headaches, slurred speech and vertigo, life was relatively care free.

You might like to check out the story of Jill Bolte Taylor. A brain scientist who lost contact with her left hemisphere due to a stroke. Then later when she had healed wrote a book about it all.

Interestingly a lot of what she (and you?) experienced is what you experience during Awakening/Realization.
