Interesting stuff ethereal, but as with any attempt to study perception using the faculties of perception, you're possibly subject to distortion, even while it appears as if distortion is being removed.

Still, I'm curious. How was it found that 'the ego/mind mechanism is based on the 1/10000th second "editing" of all incoming data'? And how does a sense of timelessness not contradict the perception of reality as a succession of stop-frames? Shouldn't timelessness remove the appearance of any sequence (i.e., succession?) Or is that not the case, and it's a matter of difficulty in communicating a counterintuitive concept within a language framework built up around a very different worldview?

And in the end, what effect might this different worldview have on our lives?
