Um, about that experience of
fainting or losing consciousness:
: it's almost like I'm falling
through a black hole in time.
Literally, the body gives
a sensation that it's falling.
Sometimes it's actually falling,
but this slowing down, um,
allows me to
sense
hyper
nuance and complexity.
And on the other hand
I have the experience that
my thinking process,
especially if I'm
unraveling an idea,
can speed up to a pace
that's a lot quicker than
most folks I'm used to
communicating with,
so that asks from us,
if we're interacting,
to try to synchronize
these different ways of
processing information.
So I'm aware of
my experience being quicker
or radically slower than
the people I encounter.
And that's why I've been
thinking about the concept
of time for a long time now.
