[edit] ExtrapolationThe seizure of property is often precipitated by government officials barking words like "progress" or "justice". The seizure of persons is often precipitated by the shouting of "Seize Him!" The seizure of consciousness is often precipitated by tremors, deja vu, stank, and visions of God -- practitioners are sometimes mistaken for narcoleptics or prophets, though medieval2 folklore described demons seizing one's soul. (Excessive masturbation was a second popular theory).3 These beliefs have been helped along by the frequent religious fixations (http://my.epilepsy.com/?q=node/961018) of epileptics combined with a peculiar tendency towards hypergraphia among victims (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1623749). (Even a quick Googling of the topic turns up names like Muhammad, Saul/Paul, Joan of Arc, Black Elk, Buddha, and Ellen White.) Hyram Solomon Addisson suffered from terrific epileptic bouts. Though he never remembered the actual fits, he claimed that their onset (aura) was accompanied by a vision of shivering pants; some have speculated that he sought relief among the pantless Huasteca deep in the jungles of Mexico. Hyram's vision was the basis for a Lil' AA strip4 which featured Lil' Dacusse unmasked as The Chameleon.
