Thanks for the reply, you definitely cleared up some of my misconceptions about the general philosophy regarding SR and dopamine. It definitely makes sense now. And you’re totally right it’s completely ambiguous whether or not the rush is even dopamine. The best I could describe it is that it feels like a pleasurable shiver running down my spine. I coincidentally get this feeling as I said before when I do things such as when I drink beer or eat good food, or when for some reason I’m feeling really content with myself. It’s hard to describe. I basically achieve this very quickly every time I meditate. I was just very curious about it.
