I've been doing a lot of thinking about a comparison of seizures to astrophysics. I'm not an astrophysicist at all, but I grasp what asteroids are, planets, gravity, yadda.

I'm thinking specifically of the deja vu phenomenon and memory fluctuations, amnesia, brain shutdown during seizures - the various types of seizures, and comparing them to galactic phenomenon.

Specifically: brain=planet, seizures=planet impacts by meteorites, asteroids, planetoids...

While growing up our brains form much like some planets are believed to - accumulations of matter, some of which are metallic, and cumulative by gravity, cumulative by life experience itself.

As life goes on our brains get bigger and more complex through thought, and as time goes on planets get larger and more complex by gravity.

A complex earth then, becomes wary of earth collisions. There are a variety of earth collisions which have various intensity. Just like seizures have various intensities. Even a small asteroid can wreak havoc. Just like smaller seizures.

But I'm considering large collisions, which spew planet matter away from the planet, and for example this is how the moon was created. Likewise, if a seizure becomes too active it can spew "thought matter", but such that this is just strewn between the psyche-matter itself.
As planetoid matter (lost thoughts) orbits and re-gravitates into the planetoid (the mind), it brings back minute bits of amnesiac data, bit by bit.

This I guess is particular to psychotic seizures, which I think is one of the most severe, if not the most. Because seemingly particular to psychosis, there is this recollective phenomenon. Each "orbiting asteroid" of thought brings with it a bit of data. This process can seemingly take a LONG time, just as it would when re-forming a planet.

In this concept then, I also considered the phenomenon of our moon's formation, and a new "mental moon" may be equivalent to a split personality/schitzo-affective disorder.

Matter is bound to space-time. But thinking is bound to "thought-time", and as the seizure clamors thoughts, the recovery period is bound to the natural process of "gravitation" to recollections as they re-gravitate into normal thoughts.

I'm thinking of psychosis generally - because I've been coming to realize, it seems, by this thought-gravitation process itself, giving me some disturbing recollections of things that I haven't known about until they've been gravitating into my thoughts, sort of like recalling dreams from almost three years ago.

Since the mind is the only gravitational mass in the mind's universe (unless the split/moon type), the actual healing from severe seizures could take years.

Given the planet/collision comparison, do you jive with this?
"Gathering my thoughts" while post-ictal is a pretty good comparison to the gravitation thing I think.
In this page (http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/Nov06/hit-and-run.html) there are some good images and graphics. I'm imagining each post-collision dot as a bit of brain data... And that actually there is a process by which data is stored as the brain is ictal/psychotic, and then as each or'bit' is pulled back into the mass, so is each thought, a trajectory of thought.

Please forgive the gibberishy writing.
Much love. :)
