8. That should be tested by neuroscientists too.

I have never seen God when I tripped but I understood a lot about certain things. Unfortunately, the brilliance that I had was short lived but very much real. In fact I had such innate knowledge about a particular subject for a History paper in college that I breezed through it and ended up with an A. When I read the paper when I got it back I barely understood what I had written, way above my ordinary level of writing. I even asked the teacher if he made a mistake on my grade. I got a C on my next paper, which I wrote while straight. I guess this isn't a good lesson to teach the kiddies.
