on seeing two time dimensions

[Guest guest]

I think I have stumbled upon something major, but my health is so poor

that I doubt that I will live long enough to fully confirm it. The

idea of death isn't bothering me, but I need to leave this for other

people to work on. It looks like we are seeing two time dimensions,

where we have thought we were seeing only one, and it is easy to

distinguish the two in meditation or other mental states. If my

understanding is correct, then when we look " inside " , we see one time

dimension while when we look " outside " , we see another time dimension.

The different time dimensions also group together what we think of as

our self and what we think of as other. It does seem that paying

attention to the two time dimensions at the same time, knowing them

for what they are, does begin to reduce my sense of duality of inside

and outside. How far this reduction of my sense of duality could go if

I had time to continue to meditate on the two time dimensions, I do

not know. Below is some background and further explanation:

 

Some scientists think there might be more than one time dimension.

 

If so, then it is possible that we perceive the two time dimensions in

different ways, as follows:

 

When we feel our own time flow, that is a perception of time dimension A.

 

When we perceive time flowing outside ourselves, as for an object

outside ourselves, that is a perception of time dimension B.

 

Reason:

 

One puzzle occurs when an object accelerates. According to the Theory

of Relativity, the time flow of the accelerated object slows down.

Since oneself and the accelerated object now have different time

flows, one might think that that decoordination would make it

impossible to still perceive the accelerated object. Yet we can

perceive it.

 

One possible explanation would be that there is a second time

dimension which continues to flow at the same rate for oneself and the

accelerated object. That then would provide something stable through

which the information could continue to pass which would make it

possible for oneself to still be perceiving the accelerated object.

 

Therefore, when we were perceiving the accelerated object, we would be

using the second time dimension to do so.

 

But when we are strictly perceiving only our own time flow, that would

be the first time dimension.
