What happens internally when I feel/see/understand/experience (pick a word you like) these moments of insight or correct knowledge? Intuition is not far off. It’s that feeling you get when searching for the answer to a question someone has verbalized. In your head you run thru a list of possible answers, and you can get suggestions from others too. You grade each answer…. That’s pretty close, No that’s not it, maybe, that doesn't sound right etc, but you keep looking for another possible answer. Why keep searching? You keep searching because the light bulb hasn’t come on yet. That moment when you know beyond any doubt that you just received the answer. You feel lighter than air you feel peaceful. If you’ve never experienced that, I don’t know how to explain it to you in a manner that would do it justice. And the knowledge I’m talking about here is not “ oh that’s right, his name was John”. I’m talking about in depth questions that require deep answers.
I have no doubt that there is something chemically going on similar to your explanation. My question then becomes which came first the insight or the chemical reaction? Did the insight cause the chemical change or did the chemical change cause the insight. Do you know of any studies or empirical evidence that sufficiently proves this one way or the other?
