I'm wondering if this happens to anyone else's perception of time

[solosthere]

I have talked to a few member here that have told me they have this same thing happen to them. It has to do with our perception of time. It has happened to me since I was very little and it used to be very scary. I think it is the mind percieving time the way it needs to at that moment. It is really hard to explain but i will give it a try.

I get this feeling that starts in my chest and then radiates out though my body. As this is happenng my perception of time gets altered and can go 1 of 2 way. The first way is less frequent and is when I speed up and everything else slows down. The second is when I slow down and everything else speeds up. I have done some experimenting with this and this is what happens. When i am "fast" I have found that I can do nonphysical mental work faster than normal. Things like reading, math problems, or even working on the computer. I can type fast enough that the cursor can not keep up and is seveal words behind. I dont type that well. When I "slow down" i have noticed that if i turn my head to fast things will actually blur. Like a picture if u move the camera. I have also had it happen where it is like my eyes can not keep up and it seems like all i get are still pictures of what is around me.

I have taled to alot of people about this. People who say they have panic/anxiety attack will tell me what i discribe is not at all what happens to them. Most people will say that they have never had that happen to them. I have talked to doctors and counselors and they will say that it sounds like some kind of dissociative disorder but not one they have ever heard of before. Ya thats what I want to hear!!!! They all want to put me on drugs even though they have no idea what is happening or what the cause is. I will not be put on drugs!!!!!!!

What i do with these periods is this. It used to be that they were so scary, as a child, that I would cry and then just go lie down and wait for it to pass; it always does. Now i try to experience them fully and use them to my advantage. The results are this. It used to be that when i would suppress it they were very scary and the physical fellings seemed more intense. By taking advantage of them and trying to experience them felly they are no longer scary seem less physically intense but the time alteration is more pronounced and they seem to last longer then when i would try to make it go away.

So does this happen to anyone else and what do you do when it happens to you and what do you think it is?

[IndigoStar]

I think you are right not to take the drugs. I think you are perceiving a heightened reality during those moments or something like that, maybe accessing new frequencies that aren't available to most people.
I also think you are doing the right thing by experiencing those things fully.
If you can learn to control if fully it will be like having a super-power! Imagine being able to slow down time!

[solosthere]

humm i never thought of it that way i will have to experiment with that idea and see if can influance it and prolong it and make it more profound

[IndigoStar]

Let us know if you make any progress! It's very interesting :)

Congratulations. To me this is an example of you moving in mind to faster and slower dimensions! This is a very simplified way of saying that but for me, time is faster in more expanded dimensions. I'm not really sure about slower dimensions, have to ponder on that one.

My only experiences of faster dimensions is when I have been close calls or accidents. My mind shifts into another dimension and the dimension my body is in seems extremely slow. This is sort of like a safety mechanism as then I have all the time needed to make the appropriate course of action to avert or change what is happening. It's sort of a detachment where you are watching yourself, (your body self) If the accident proved fatal one would be removed already from the pain and trauma of it!

This can actually be also observed in animals caught by predators. At some point they just seem to relax and accept their fate. Even when rescued they can take time to come back and realize that their body is safe and they will not be eaten!

This is also observed in horses who subject to harsh treatment when being broken in. Some will faint and just lie there as their spirit has left! A sad and old way of starting horses under saddle as it's the spirit of horses that makes them wonderful. A spiritless horse is not a great ride! Ah but I am off on a tangent here, but as you see when studying this phenomonum it is actually more common than you may think. Investigation and knowledge of it will help you integrate and normalize this. Ignorance will just throw drugs at you!!

[solosthere]

It has proven sinse i decided not to fight it and be afraid of it to be happening less often. I have observed the car accident thing, unfortunately. It is very similar to that but even more intense as i am not in a tramatic situation. It just will happen all of a sudden. Oddly it often happens in the shower and the droplets can become overwhelming, not painful just to much sensation. Like i said it is very hard for me to explain and it has always happened to me as long as i can remember.

I have experienced time slowing down when being involved in a car crash. I seemed to have all the time in the world to turn the steering wheel and brake to position my vehicle in a way that reduces the negative effects on the outcome. Many times I have experienced time stretching out, not as much as the car crash though, but sufficient to say a very noticeable increase in the spaces inbetween time sort of. On the other hand I have witnessed time running so fast that several hours had passed and I could only wonder where the time went. A watched kettle never boils. Waiting at a bus stop for a bus that takes for ever and when we look at our watch we have only waited for 7 minutes which felt like 2 hrs. Its all in the mind I think.

could this be something like chronokinesis possibly????? Really i would like comments on what people think it has been something i have always had happen to me

[Jenci]

Hi Solosthere,

Time is not real, it is just a construct of the mind. When we are awakening and our level of Consciousness is expanding our identity is alot more with that, rather than indentification with the mind. Less identification with the mind, means less is seen in "time".

During my awakening I have experience many strange things with regards time. I spent a few months being very bothered by this. I would have to go to the calender quite a lot and try to work out what day it was and try to back track on previous days to see if they had happened because I had no recollection of them. Sometimes time is moving so quickly for me I 'skip' from being in one place, to suddenly appearing in the next and wondering how I have got there.

Of course what is really happening is in that missing time, I am not conscious of my mind I am just Conscious with everything arising spontaneously and falling away. And then the mind comes back in again and wants to know what's happened and place everything back in time.

I've relaxed more into this now and not spending that time checking out the calender or the clock. I find that as soon as things happen, a lot of the time, they have gone for me. This can be very strange in conversations with people.

The other day I was gone from the house for a few hours and when I came back I found myself wondering how many days I had been away. My mind was trying to work out what day I had left and what day it was now. Of course, I had only been away for a few hours but to the mind it was like forever.

There are quite a few experience of my awakening that if I had gone to a doctor about, there would have been no doubt discussion of meds or pyschiatric help :) but something here just knew everything was ok.

Another thing that happens is sometime I see things in what my mind would call slow motion. I get to see the tiniest details in another person's reaction or facial expressions. Overall what I have realised is I will see what needs to be seen and not see what I don't need to see. So the missing time I don't need to know about.

I would suggest that if you can observe your mind trying to make sense of what is happening when time gets very strange, then shift your attention to what is observing the mind. In other words, let the mind do its thing but do not pay attention to it - be the watcher.
The more you learn to rest as being the watcher, the more it will remember and become the natural place to Be.

Yes it happens to me every so often . And it's so subtle and not easy to describe hence i can appreciate your hesitation here ..

According to TimeWheel tantra, we experience 3 kinds of time, external - planetary time,
internal -biological time and alternative-spiritual time .

They actually seldom being perfectly synchronized, we experience alterations of time perception , on many levels ..
take those many processes happening in organism and environment on minute level ..we seem to mostly unaware of them yet they happen.

Yet..consciousness travels constantly between external and internal ,

and embraces eternity

It's your consciousness employed on every level displaying what it can do ..

Wonderful for you to be so perceptive! I experience a slowing down, like what some people call 'slow motion' especially when something is about to happen-perhaps a cup falls to the ground. Right before the cup falls, it feels like my head moves ever so slowly and I'm just a fraction to late to catch it, some times I do catch the cup (or am able to react fast). I've been told I have really fast reflexes, however, I feel it's due to my perception of the slowing down and am able to react. Many times I experience 'deja vu' either right before or after the event of slowmo. Do you notice other feelings or physical sensations? Are you more aware or less aware of your own physical sensations? Do you feel that you have turned your fear into curiosity and now you are able to 'go with the flow'?
Wouldn't it be nice if children were taught to develop these abilities instead of being labeled? Just sayin....
:happy:
Your experience reminds me of the movie Limitless. Albeit, the main character's brain was enhanced by chemical means, none the less, he couldn't recall certain moments due to the speeding up process.
Have you tried to see if your experience has increased during a major event like right before an earthquake or a CME? This would prove to be interesting if your ability was heighted by these and other man made events like HAARP.
I will be monitoring my own awareness during these times. Right now we are due for a solar event. I wonder what people will be feeling or not feeling during this time?
This is good stuff!

[solosthere]

I can say that I become far more physically aware during these periods. I think the fear s gone not only due to curiosity but also due to excepting the experience. deja vu does not accompany the experience but it feels physically very similar but much more intense and it lasts alot longer. Ill have to check out that movie i have never heard of it b4. I dont notice anything that causes it but i dont live in area that get many natural major events. Its really quite here. I of course I wouldnt know when HAARP is being used so I cant say. Im wondering if it is some type of chronokenisis that i have not developed yet. I cant see why that wouldnt be possible. Even our governments know about physic abilities ( remote viewing ). If a person had an ability like this and had never tried to develop it would it it manifest without the persons control at times???

[Nerge]

Definitely a fasinating subject and one I can certainly identify with to some degree having read the thread. Not that I've experienced this to the degree that solosthere has experienced it (sounds thrilling) but much of it rings true for me.

Time appearing to fly by and at other times dragging - depending on if the subject matter at hand is something you enjoy or not. Funny how that works eh? When you enjoy something or feel 'joy' time races by because you're paying less attention to the concept of time 'in the mind'. When something is boring or very dull or depressing to you time drags, as you conciously pay more attention to it; checking the watch, waiting for water to boil or something interesting to happen.

It is akin to being a child at Christmas, where time can seem to go so slowly on the run-up to receiving your presents and then so quickly when you're engrossed on the day playing with them. :)

As others have mentioned I've had times when time appears to slow down as I perceive it in front of my eyes, such as objects dropping as others have mentioned and accidents occuring. I'm sure there is a way (and no doubt it's taught in some circles) of conciously having control of this perception of time in our minds, which as Jenci pointed out - and I've come to believe - is merely a construct in our minds.

Learn to control your perceptions and literally anything is possible, mind over matter > energy. I think it all ultimately ties in with the idea of us being pure conciousness and the world as we see it being a very real dream, in essence. It's just that we're so engrossed in this dream that many are convinced it's all there is along with all the perceived limitations that comes with it.

Is it really that surprising that 'miracles' or things such as bullet-dodging in films like the Matrix are really beyond the realms of possibility? When we begin to see our collective experience as merely projections of conciousness the rules can be bent and some even broken (as Morpheous would say ;)); possibilities are endless - it's just breaking free from those accepted perceptions that society drills into us. And ultimately, perhaps this is all tied into the awakening that we're currently going through as a collective. :)

One question for solosthere: Has anyone else been there watching you when you've had these experiences such as time speeding up? Have they commented on if they've noticed anything strange about what you're doing at the time from their own perspective? :)

"Time is just a concept - an illusion.
A construct of the mind.
The concept of time creates what we call the self
What is the I without time.
Time is like a superglue which keeps our story in order while we navigate the world around us."

I get that... I guess if i were to answer what is the I without time... i would say it is consiousness without restrains or ego

[Jenci]

This is right. Consciousness is the timeless, the eternal, the unborn, the undying, ever present, always constant.

The more this is realised that this is what you are and not the individual person known as solosthere, the less meaning time has.

Jeanette

[solosthere]

Oddly it has never had much meaning to me and i have always questioned it. As though it just doesnt make sense. I guess because our concept of it doesnt make sense. It just dont add up

[solosthere]

Nerge I have had peple comment that when i would say everything is going real fast that I talk and move slower than i would normally the oppisite effect is far less frequent and has not happened in the persents of others. It is far more common for me to slow down and everything else go fast.

[sunnyrap]

No need to feel alone or fearful or worry about people who don't relate to your perceptions or experiences--there are quite a few people who are having unusual perceptions and experiences with time. Starfire Tor (starfiretor.com) is actively investigating the latest series of Time Shifts clusters and time anomalies. With her knowledge of the science and mechanism of Time Shifts started a group that experiences, performs experiments around and blogs about it. Whitley Streiber (www.unknowncountry.com) has done many shows on this subject and Starfire, as has George Noory on Coast to Coast AM. So you have a LOT of company.

So does this happen to anyone else and what do you do when it happens to you and what do you think it is?

[litmus]

its said that Tim Leary spoke of looking forward to the 4-6 minutes after death when he still had brain function. there a second would be a lifetime.

the brains lower functions alter perception of time in certain mediative practices. you my have this option without the practice.

i disagree that time is not real. time is a system of measurement in placement of space during movement through. it is us who add the illusion.
