You often hear neurologists and psychiatrists ask patients if they have any "soft epilepsy" symptoms. These come in the form of auras .... strong smells or flashing lights. Sometime these are signs of temporal lobe epilepsy .... not necessarily bad ... but can help make medication decisions easier. Patients with these symptoms supposedly do well with meds like tegretol and valproic acid and klonopin. Another symptom of temporal lobe epilepsy is hyper-religiosity .... some scientists claim up to 50% of individuals heading religious groups have temporal lobe epilepsy. They have these auras .... visions .... experiences of God.
I does not sound like you are have something to this effect. But I thought I would throw it out there in case it helps.
