Summary
This document is page 133 of a scientific or philosophical manuscript (Bates stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_013633). It discusses the intersection of religious phenomenology (citing Rudolf Otto and Mircea Eliade) and mathematical topology/neuroscience (citing Poincaré). The text specifically draws parallels between the 'sacred singularities' in religious experience and the brain's topological modeling of space through movement equations. Significant portions regarding the intensity of experience and the brain's generation of differential equations are highlighted in yellow and underlined in green.

"They include intense, numinous experiences of fearsome ambiguity, dawning awareness of awesome mystery, revelation and appreciation of the majestic power and finally, entrance into a reality of an entirely other place and time than the natural and secular which Mircea Eliade called profane."Source
