Do you ever experience intellectual pleasures, perceptual delights, ecstatic, heightened states of mind simply from philosophizing and indulging feelings of being perplexed?

Yes. From time to time I get into a mode where I absolutely must research and find the answer to something that catches my fancy. I try to take anything I learn and any conclusions I draw from it, and apply it to other ideas and scenarios that might be applicable, no matter how remotely related. It is usually at those times when I can feel my mind's perception of things expanding. It is probably like seeing all sides of a cube or realizing any other multi-dimensional object or concept all at once.

I think I know what you mean...I've had experiences of euphoria where it feels like I'm floating. It almost feels like I'm out of my body...It's like a heightened state of awareness, so alive, so happy, so free...
If you meditate you can reach another level of consciousness. I don't know if it's exactly like having an orgasm but it can be a pretty wonderful feeling. The mind is a powerful tool. Actually I think when you have an orgasm it is the mind as much as the body that has it. The mind is a sexual organ too!

Dreams are made of these and just like the short lived release of pleasure, it is gone. Unless you are one who keeps specimens of mental flashes which excite you, then you can build a whole colony from one idea, once you find the way of scraping those samples from the inside of your brain with a pen and paper.

I have before in the past. I came up with insights to life I could not dream possible. I wish I actually had written them down. I lost a lot of it and do not remember them. I was thrilled of what I was thinking. I think a lot of it was about religion and history and it made sense to me.

Nothing Brain can do that Mind had not already presaged and got up. Mind was through with it before Stuff even knew what to do with it.

Yes, but I do not call it an orgasm...should you like to hear my difination of orgasm feel free to e mail me.
Realizing a truth you did not understand before or understanding a poing of intellectualy pleasure, certainly can give you a high, but it is nothing like an orgasm.

I felt this last night at "The Police" concert. When Andy was playing that guitar, I swear I was having one.

absolutely.
that over-sensitive hyper-present feeling like your brain is fully engorged, cylinders firing, electricity crackling, seemingly tethered to all the energy in the universe...climaxing in an explosion that leaves your brain panting, raw, & bleeding...shuddering...
