You must be talking of a peculiar format because epilepsy really isn't like that.

The two are not incompatible. One of the most moving sights I saw in chuch was an autist dancing in pious joy.

Geschwind Syndrome is a collection of characteristics sometimes found in patients who have temporal lobe epilepsy that includes rambling speech, writing a lot, diminished sexuality, hyper-religiosity, and a deep concern with morality.

There is quite a wide range of different forms of seizures in epilepsy, from simple partial seizures that may be misdiagnosed as depression up to tonic-clonic seizures with loss-of-consciousness and violent convulsions. St Joseph's "contemplations" sound like simple partial seizures with a focus in the temporal lobe.

I have experienced epilepsy and I have seen people in what everyone believed were sacred trances. The later were neither epileptic nor insane; I suppose the best material explanation if one doesn't believe in such things generally or in a given instance is to chalk it up to emotional excitement. And of course other religions describe similar things. Delphians for instance, though they were reportedly high. I suppose as a non-medieval I have learned to hedge bets. Be that as it may, maybe spacers do want the protection of someone who has had a peculiar life(one way or another) when they go into jump space?

What was the normal treatment for that at the time, anyone?
