"Epiphanic rush" is such a accurate but bittersweet term for this. It must be so ingrained in human psychology from the days of shamans, prophets and sages.

Pretty sure "shamans, prophets and sages" are effects, not causes, of that particular piece of psychology.
"days of shamans, prophets and sages"
Are these really examples of what is described? The spiritualism gained from those entities persist to this day. Wars were fought and people continue to live by what those entities taught. Sounds different from the short lived rush that is being discussed.
