Altered Consciousness & Perspective - 01-13-2008, 02:42 PM

Having participated in counseling for post traumatic stress disorder, regarding a series of near sudden death experiences - of self and others, I was inspired to compose the following abbreviated dissertation...

Subjective Time & 'Slow Motion'.
Focused consciousness induced by a frightening event can result in the subjective ‘slowing of time’. The hyper alerted (consciousness expanded) brain, processes more information in a shorter period of time. The result is the perception of more time having passed due to the assimilation of more information at a faster rate than when the brain is not on ‘alert’. A given grid of normal conscious flow becomes more dense when the brain is transformed in hyper awareness. In retrospect, when the brain returns to normal focus, the comparative density of the experiential grid contains more information than it usually absorbs in a given unit of time.

Any further comments or explanations are respectfully invited.

Best regards,
- RP


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid
