Question:Finding the answer to math problem, on your own, after struggling with it for several sleepless nights. Looking at a piece of great of art. Watching the sunset. So sublime.

(edit)

WTH? Thumbs down? Well, apparently the infallible folks with doctorates in Psychology are prone to mistakes. The OP asked for the definition of SUBLIMITY not SUBLIMINALLY. There's a difference. Look up the word LIMINAL. Do you see in it in SUBLIMITY? Girl, you are 100% wrong.

Sublime relates to subliminal. It is below the conscious level (in matters of thought).

In matters of taste, it is a subtle, mellow enrichment without overpowering the palate.

A breath, a touch
a wisp of hair,
a sigh, a word
that isn't there.
He was not speaking then,
just a 3 or 4 month old himself
but he would smile with a sublimity
that other people long to own.
( from a poem I wrote about my newborn son)


Dictionary definition: Below the threshold of conscious perception. Used of stimuli.
Inadequate to produce conscious awareness but able to evoke a response: subliminal propaganda.

Subliminal messages bypass the conscouis mind and go directly to the subconscious mind, thus bringing about most often, quicker and more powerful results. Ultimately the subconscious mind is the electricity while the conscious mind is the light bulb.
