Stopping time

[Tiny]

Dear folks,

I was wondering if anyone has managed or knows a story where it was achieved to directly manipulate time and enter a conscious state of real slow-motion through willful meditation.

I'm also wondering if it is possible as like in some movies where the character walks around in virtually time-frozen environment, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3UM1EQKt8k


kind regards,

Paul

Actually, yes...

Frank, apparently, did hit upon Focus 15... which is a focus of what's best described as "no time".

If you mean your physical perception of time... I don't know. I doubt it would be a manipulation of time, but a change in your perception of time. I don't see why it couldn't happen, but you'd probably have to have a very malleable awareness.

But from another state of consciousness, yes, it's more than possible to move awareness outside of space and time. But then perception of the physical is completely different, so I doubt it would be the 1st person slow-mo effect your thinking of. It's more like looking at it all from "outside".

Dear stookie,

no i mean time as in physical time = motion

not the mental sense of time that can feel like going by fast or slowly.

i've had experience with time variations before....even as i was growing up as a kid....i would be sitting and being talked to or something...and then time would ''appear'' to speed up.....and then a few times when i was trying to get to sleep this happened....and even a few times when i was working on a project <had to take apart a video game controller and fix it> and as i was doing this, time appeared to speed up again and i basically felt like i was on drugs or something cuz i was moving really fast...and everything around me was like super slow....

i dont know how i do it...and maybe this focus 15 might help me on it, but it is possible i believe/know to change the appearance of time for you or the world. just think of it this way...time is really just manmade.....its just a record of how long we've been here for.
but that aside i would like to hear if anyone has this kinda thing happen to them. i wanna know that i'm not alone on this one...if i was i'd be kinda wierd and say i was a son of god or something hahaha <just kidding ppl>

I've actually experienced time variations, and once, took a dip into what I could only afterwards describe as eternity. And this was before I'd ever heard of Astral Projection; it is what got me on this route.

Has anyone ever been able to attain a state of mind where they feel disconnected from their personality, and are in absolute control of a situation as if you were a guest in it? It's happened to me a few times, most recently at an exhibition. It's as if I'm on some kind of drug; the feeling and thinking is markedly different. The best word I've been able to think up to describe it has been 'freedom'.

how would you know the difference?

[Dragohad]

how would you know the difference?

you wouldnt. but if time slows then you just might catch a glimpse at it and note the differences.

As a child I was aware on 2 or 3 occasions that my perception of time had slowed down and everything was moving much slower than it should, yet I was thinking at the same speed. A shame I can't call upon this ability, it would be very useful in tasks that require fast reaction times. Look at flies when you try and swat them. Their perception of time is SO much slower than ours, that most of them are gone by the time your hand reaches them, and probably had time for a cigarette halfway through 

I've also observed the opposite, usually the morning after several drinks and everything is at a higher pitch. EG sounds on the computer, voices on the phone and on television. Everyone gets to know the tonality of their world, and it sounded like someone had put my hearing in a software package and chose to up the pitch. I'm not sure if it was an increase in time as well as I didn't notice that. But that's happened a dozen or so times, but after the body has been drunk, which has to be the reason.
