In this clear state of mind one can find "time bending", to the point of where one is accomplishing or experiencing things far more rapidly than normal.

It is a very multiple purpose tool. Here are a few tried and proven uses- 1)Improve your martial arts skills 2)Better navigate through a herd of people 3)Be able to separate nuts from bolts faster 4)Experience life more intensely in a short period of time 5)Endure pain in order to run far, or to have your teeth drilled without Novocain 6)Better enjoy the subtleties of eating a fresh mango 7)To appreciate the life experience at ALL moments, but remain clear and ruthless enough to change course at any moment in accord with the dictates of a refined link with one's own spirit. But come on, you already know about all this. Maybe you have never experienced it? Maybe not. My various ways of perceiving reality do not make me superior, and for each seeming added benefit there is a loss in some other aspect. For instance, if you compress time, the ability to remember diminishes. My posts are not written to those who don't understand me, because they likely never will. I have no interest in arguing or debating anything or putting anyone down. There are VERY few people who will understand me, or be able to add to my awareness. What I write about are already well established modes of consciousness on my part and I am not looking for verification or argument. My posts are written to those who have experienced similar things, to reflect and compare the experience. I am not a proponent of spiritual teaching, or learning. I have no time for that. Even with a thousand lifetimes I still have no time for that. If you are right for yoga and self sacrifice and discipline, then you are already strange, and half way to being a yogi. You were probably like that as a child too, strange that is. So far I have only found a few points of reflection in this group, and will soon return to my other activities. Do you know first hand what I have been writing about? Do you know personally any of the people whom I have mentioned? Things like yoga and TM are not for everyone, just like Don Krieger pointed out in something I just read on the internet. I knew Don Krieger personally and he is an example of how some people will never get it, and more important, NEVER be satisfied, no matter how much time and effort they "invest". I love everyone but that guy was such a hemorrhoid. If he reads this then I suggest he find peace within himself as a hemorrhoid. Maybe he is different, but I doubt it, because it would seem that he does not want to take responsibility for his own actions and his place in life. I am not interested in changing the TMO because people don't want to take responsibility for themselves, for their belief systems. There are so many whiners in the world, and I piss on them for a brief moment, and then quickly move on to the things at hand. Life in the present moment is like that. No whining, no regrets, no incrimination, no argument, and very little memory of any of it left behind, just an attitude that can pass the test of time.
