I'd been thinking a lot about this lately.
The only reference I have is the effect of the dopamine surge on limerence.
There is a saying in Malay, "Dari mana datangnya cinta? Dari mata turun ke hati (where does love come from? From the eyes down to the heart).".
Pretty much like this model:
The general convention is thought influences feeling and feeling influences action.
In this case, the bridge is feeling. That is none other than the production of a myriad of chemicals. In the case of the happy chemicals, they are:
- Dopamine
- Oxytocin
- Serotonin
- Endorphin
There are more than 300 such chemicals known as neurotransmitters. Some yet to be named and known for what purpose.
Therefore everything is happening at the chemical level. Without feeling, thought will not translate into action.
Hahaha... TraXX is playing this song. What a coincidence:
I'm going for *[for] my one-hour Brisk Walk.
* I know Sarah, I am 30 minutes late.
LET'S RIDE!
Brb...
Boy, I pushed it to the limit and all I got was 30 minutes of easy walk.
Today is a very challenging day for me. Even when I sleep I had nightmares since last night. On both occasions I was in rage So with a heavy heart, I decided to break my 21 Days Water Only Fast. I had Super Combo Nasi Lemak (coconut milk rice with beef, egg, and anchovy) and 3-in-1 Nescafe.
I will replace the 2 days I slipped by adding them at the end of the supposedly Day 21 streak.
So back to the question; are all these writings a dopamine fluctuation or spiritual awakening? This is a very [very] important question considering that I a mentally distressed person. It could be a symptom of mania.
Well, I can attest that throughout the whole month of Ramadan, my mood had been very stable. That is because I am in ketosis and not dependent *o[f] (on) carbs for my source of energy; the reason I have mood swings and dopamine fluctuations.
* Right. Sarah can also assess my Food Log and Personal Journal.
Furthermore, dopamine fluctuations happen when feelings got invoked by thoughts. So far my thoughts were crystal clear. With the absence of food and while I am in ketosis, coupled with pushing it to the limit Athlete4Life lifestyle I am practicing on a daily basis, there is no way I am experiencing mania.
Let me add a spiritual flavor to it. I don't think the Infinite Intelligence nor the Universe is that cruel. From the very beginning, I was very stable. With the consumption of ketones, I am like anybody on ketosis; I become an efficient thinking machine.
This is my take. I believe I am on the path of enlightenment and I trust my judgment. Within this month alon[g] (alone) I had achieved many milestones including becoming a proficient lean mean fighting machine. Beginning of Ramadan, until today, two weeks after, I had lost 10 kg a[s] (and) VERY sharp in my boxing, Muay Thai and Niten Ichi practices DESPITE the Water Only Fast.
In conclusion, I say this whole journey within Ramadan is a mind and body satori with spirituality as an added bonus.
