She knew the stranger was trying to help, but years of nightmare memories of being attacked couldn’t stem the panic clogging her throat. But his strong grip wouldn’t release her. Please, Alicia gasped, fighting the remembered images while struggling to hold on to the three packages she cradled. His grasp sparked memories of the darkest moments in her life.

The first, the great Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky, describes in his own words how, in the aura of a seizure: In a 2012 article in the Atlantic, “ Seeing God in the Third Millennium,” Sacks prefaces his discussion of religious epiphanies with accounts of two epileptic patients.
