I've developed a theory for how the passage of time speeds up the older one gets. This is a very curious phenomenon. Picture an empty circle. It's filled up with time, this is a baby's world, many moments of time-per-events, very few connections between neurons. So a baby lives in the timeless now, time is unlimited. Baby begins to learn, begins to make connections between neurons (incidentally, just posted on two different threads, these connections between neurons are what make distinctions). So picture distinctions beginning to fill up and displace time, in the circle. Just make the learning-distinctions, dark (versus emptiness). The older you get, the more distinctions you make, the darker the circle gets, the less "empty" time you have, so the quicker time passes. And yes, the older you get the quicker time passes, the years almost blink by.
OK, here it can get complicated, I'll hit the highlights. Our right-brain (hemisphere) is our access to here-now, the timeless-Whole. Our left-brain is our ordinary-life-experience-of-ego, the dark part of the circle filling-up-with time-speeding-up-neural-connections. So, if one is able to access the right-brain-Whole (which always remains connected to the Whole), time should slow down, moving into the timeless-now.
So my question is, has this been anyone's experience? Or can you give examples from (Zen for instance) literature. I've been working on this for about 30 years+. When you're in this timeless-now, the passage of time actually slows down, can even stop. (Jill Bolte-Taylor helped a lot here, helped put it together).
And, just to add (I can never stop), when you move-in-to this "~state~" ZD describes, you move-back-in-to No-Distinctions (the empty circle), the no- connections-world.
