Page 219 a sense of pervasive well-being is what I recall. More specifically is strange sense of personal enlargement. Sort of swelling out, becoming bigger than life, thanks to participation in collective ritual. Obviously something visceral was at work, something I later concluded, far older than language and critically important in human history, because the emotion arouses constitutes an indefinitely expansible basis for social cohesion among any and every group that keeps together in time, moving big muscles together, enchanting, singing, or shouting rhythmically.
