Essentially, the hyper-slow-motion cinematic capture of a lightning bolt in the process of erupting into being. However, the more appropriate metaphor might be: in the process of searching and probing and dallying and circling back and losing itself and finding itself elsewhere only to peter out anew and then branching off again, probing further, until it finally makes contact with ground, with Ground Zero as it were, at which point it rebounds into brilliant sudden being (all in a fraction of a fraction of a second) ...
... like nothing so much, it occurs to me, as the path this very video took as it coursed through the Internet, finally finding its way to your eyes ...
... where it then was instantaneously converted into another electric charge and went surging and careering through your brain, finally erupting to the astounded consciousness you are experiencing right now.~Lawrence Weschler
