Is the essential quality of time speeding up or are we being bombarded with too many media sources in which the novelty is skipping past our actively filtered constructs?

Input actively eats processing time if it is not a predigested variable.
 Quoting: Dionysian Fullaflatus


We will never be able to tell, as we exist within the concept (or construct) of time. So, the question ends up being non-existent. Instead, we should question the amount of information that is processed by the human as to speeding up, or slowing down. Of course, the answer is speeding up (that can be taken as more than one way). BUT, we have extended life-spans as well per era of time.

So, we are working exponentially within our immediate existence. We are gathering more thought per unit of space/time, and obtaining a longer duration of said exponentiality. This results in a myriad of human responses.

The need for mental stimulation. The need of imagination and fantasy to fill the void. Or, an obsessive component of the psyche to learn and absorb as much as can be accomplished.

Then, arises the problem of discernment. Without True knowledge, the imagination and fantasy become the reality. BUT, if someone is submerged in BOTH, fantasy and True knowledge, then an awakening occurs, as it becomes steadily more apparent, what is True within the human condition, and what is put there to distract (fantasy).

The fantasy trap is the sticky sweet pollen of seduction to naive minds. The idea that you will be externally completed. Every good salesman knows it's the story that sells the product and sets the price.

It will make you smell like a rose, fill you like a 64 0z steak dinner, make you smarter, do your dishes and give you the primal sex musk of a satyr. All for the low low price of....

We all know better, but hope for the easy road.

On the subject of time: place yourself in a room. The less stimulus the better and definitely no clock. Sit there and study the surroundings or sit in the dark and concentrate on the undulating snake that is your breathing.

I will guarantee that 10 minutes will feel markedly longer than a mundane 10 minutes.

Do it in a space without electricity and its a whole other dimension.
