Continuing with my train of little weird things that happen, have ya'll ever...how do I describe it...ever had time slow?
OK, that makes no sense.
I'll describe it.
I've only done it a few times, and one instance sticks out in my mind.
I was 12 or so (of all ages) playing a video game (of all things), and there was one certain part I couldn't get through (it involved a series of rapidly moving platforms going back and forth and/or up and down and/or diagonally). No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't react quickly enough.
I then got it in my mind that I would just concentrate on the screen as intensely as possible and see what would happen. I did, and, as best as I can describe, everything seemed to slow and I made it across the section.
Anyone else ever had that particular trick of the senses happen?Corri PS - The other times I've had something like that happen:
*When I had my little NDE, but that's common enough, or at least commonly enough reported...although it's much more a sense that time is a fiction.
*Another time when I was about 12; I was sitting on my school bus (again, of all places) zoning out, looking out the window. Suddenly, for complete lack of better terminology, everything "made sense". The connections between, well, everthing, and the Good Order of it all were clear - for a moment. It seemed like it lasted for at once eternity and an instant (which was kinda like my later NDE).
*I was at a temple in S. China (with a group from college). They went ahead, but I had the impulse to lean back against a piller and close my eyes. Then I felt very warm and it seemed like I was expanding (again, for lack of a better word). I can't really say how long that lasted (again, time seemed of no consequence), but it stopped abruptly when my vapid professor came back and called my name, giving me a look of annoyance (I think he thought I was sleeping).
I have no idea what that was; I can say, however, that when I turned around and looked at the courtyard behind me, I saw that the woman who was pulling weeds from between the blocks was staring at me and smiling. I know that all this sounds a little (or a lot) crazy, but do any of ya'll know what could've possibly been happening during these resp. occurrences?
(If you've read this and think I'm nuts, no need to respond...I already have doubts about my sanity b/c of what I've listed.) Corri IP: Logged |

I once wrote a ten page letter, without skipping lines and both sides in fifteen minutes. I don't knwo short hand, it was full words and everything and I do not write that fast. I was concious the entire time that I was writing faster than was possible too. That aside time has 'slowed' for me a couple of times. I had several experiences in grade ten math class, bored out of my skull literally and figurativly I'd find myself just sort of floating outside myself. It happend probably five to ten times. Each time the recognition set in I'd freak out and 'snap' back. Which hurt! I've had times which I'd describe as communing with the universe/god/everything which definitly sounds like your experience in China, again with the feeling that time slowed. But no video game experiences .. *G* IP: Logged |

Both you experienced Time Dilation. You sufficiently reduced your vibratory frequencies (reflected as increased concentration), so that Time appeared to pass slow for you.

The difference being that we were cognizant of the occurance (as compared to those who experience it while working)?Corri IP: Logged |
