Its rare but yes I have experienced the sort of thing that you are describing. That moment of clarity, of perfect and complete awareness that makes me think that we as humans are capable of so much more, that our brains are under utilised.
I admit I am horrible with directions of just about any sort. This happy way to find yourself again when lost is one of the things I truly value as its come in handy more than once.
Hmmm no not really and it seems from your answers I'm the only one. Now I feel left out. I have had situations where the right answer just comes along out of nowhere and realized wow! But never a place.
