Enthusiasm

"'Enthusiasm' is derived from the Greek word entheos, meaning 'God is in them.' The idea of enthusiasm, historically and etymologically, has to do with a person being so full of God (or, in the pagan world, the gods or the muses) that behavior is dominated by Him in a holy sense (or by them in a pagan or even demonic sense)." --Jack Hayford
