Have you ever experienced passing out and waking up hours later without ever remember falling asleep as if time instantly moved ahead without a noticeable cognitive disruption?I once hit my head and woke up in the hospital and didn't remember the time between, but my body knew something happened and time passed.But recently I was sitting and I went from being fully alert but then waking up abruptly and I looked at the time and 2 hours had gone by. I wasn't even tired and don't remember falling asleep. This completely freaked me out. Is this dementia shit? Anyways that has lead to me questioning death, after life and reality. If there isn't an afterlife, and once I die, wouldn't my entire existence skip from before birth to death without ever happening? Consiousness seems so fragile.
>>38263400Much of what you describe is flow state. Not only that but I believe it's a much more modern phenomenon: we have clocks everywhere nowadays. We can't go more than 15 minutes without looking at our phones, at a watch, at some wall clock, or even street clocks. Whenever we stay more time without even looking at the hours (which is common if you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep), time will seem to pass much differently because your mind won't be receiving the constant information it usually does. In regards to NDE, afterlife, etc.: considering you can still have a perceived distorted passage of time while awake, and it's subject to your state of mind and stimuli, you can be easily induced to believing this is all brains and there's nothing more to it. In fact, it's that very inconsistency of the human mind that led us to creating instruments that aren't biased on their measurements, in order to always have a registry of time without any psychological bias. But at the same time, we can't assume there's nothing more to it, no afterlife for example, because our minds are subject to the material. As far as we're concerned, whichever realm there is out there, it doesn't follow our rules of time, and it'd fit with the whole "the brain is an antenna" hypothesis. I have once heard many dementia patients remember it all by their last hours before passing away, but I haven't gone after credible sources. So is the brain playing a prank on us, or is there more to it and we struggle understanding past our meat limits? Who knows.
>>38263563I too believe we can do anything. We just need to unlock how. It's hard though.

It must by definition have impact or injury as part of itscontent. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 2 . a specialized kind of facsimile. This differs fromother mental pictures because it contains, as part of its content, unconsciousnessand physical pain. (Dn 55 .1, p. 12) 3 . a complete recording, down to the lastaccurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or fullunconsciousness. (Scn 0-8, p. 11) 4 . a theta facsimile of atoms and molecules inmisalignment. (Scn 0-8, p. 81) 5 . a unit of force which is held in because onehas chosen force itself for his randomity. (5312CM13) 6 . the word engram isan old one borrowed from biology. It means simply, “a lasting memory trace on acell.” It may be engraved on more than the cell, but up against Dn processing, it isnot very lasting. (Science of Survival, p. 10) 7 . physical pain, enmest and entheta held at aspecific point on the time track. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 25) 8 . a severe physical paincauses considerable analytical attenuation, shutting off the analyzer thoroughly fora period of time. This, technically, is an engram, although any incident, painfulor not, contained in the reactive mind, and occluded by anaten can be consideredan engram. (SOS, p. 80)
>>382643179 . a recording which has the sole purpose of steeringthe individual through supposed but usually nonexistent dangers. (SOS, p. 10)10. a severe area of plus or minus randomity of sufficient volume to causeunconsciousness. (Scn 0-8, p. 81) 11. a moment when the analytical mind isshut down by physical pain, drugs or other means, and the reactive bank is opento the receipt of a recording. (DMSMH, p. 153) 12. simply moments of physicalpain strong enough to throw part or all the analytical machinery out of circuit; theyare antagonism to the survival of the organism or pretended sympathy to theorganism’s survival. That is the entire definition. Great or little unconsciousness,physical pain, perceptic content, and contra-survival or pro-survival data.(DMSMH, p. 68) 13. not a sentient recording containing meanings. It is merely aseries of impressions such as a needle might make on wax. These impressions aremeaningless to the body until the engram keys-in, at which time aberrations andpsychosomatics occur. (DMSMH, p. 131) 14. a bundle of data which includesnot only perceptics and speech present but also metering for emotion and state ofphysical being. (DMSMH, p. 245)15. an apparent surcharge in the mental circuitwith certain definite finite content. That charge is not reached or examined by theanalytical mind but that charge is capable of acting as an independent command.(DTOT, p. 43)
>>38263400Just wanted to say I hope for the best for you anon, and others too.
>>38263563Having lived in a modern city all my life I can say my overall processing of time changed when I lived in the woods for three weeks. Things felt like they moved more naturally, being both "slower" and "faster". Since then its become very apparent the modern monopoly on time exists primarily to exert constant pressure as a means of molding and manipulating.
