I don't know any way of explaining it other than to say the HG was in control of my body during those times. Using a strict interpretation of "self control", which is what I think you are doing, then speaking in tongues would be losing self control and a result of hysteria.
Ya know, looking back on my "shockamoo" days, I can honestly say I never got hurt. Not even once. I couldn't tell you the number of times I hit the floor with the full force of an overweight man; the times I ran straight into a brick wall; the times I would come back to myself on the other side of the church. I don't know how to explain it, but I know God was in it.

I have "shockamoo-ed" before, as you say, and I'm not ruling it out as being a valid experience or anything. However, if the HG is in control, and it's moving you around and whatnot, and you hit someone, fall over someone, or hit someone of the opposite gender (someone's spouse for example), then was the HG really in control?
GOD BLESS!
