I've experienced this crystal clarity a few times in my life. Once, lying with my dog in the yard as a teenager, and another time driving over a hill and seeing a beautiful sunset. I experienced an almost overwhelming joy and love of life.

I am not a religious person but I think these are known as "Peak Experiences". [0]

I also experience "ASMR" [1] and maybe these things are related.
