The world in slow motion
Do you remember when we talked about humans having a number of filters that allow perception?
Well, I was wondering whether you've ever had a time when you felt that everything, you and the people around you and the world, seemed to be moving in slow motion. I am not sure why it happens, but it sometimes occurs to me. I seem to hear things (or is it that people seem to talk?) in a slower manner. It is as if all my senses have been put on a slow motion, everything going in a ritadando, and I do not understand why. But thinking about it along the lines of the time filter, maybe it is because that time filter of mine has been "ticked" momentarily for some reason.
It also made me think about the question "Is there a moment more significant than another?". I mean, even though the moment that seemed to be going more slowly did not seem important in any way, and was pretty random actually (unless someone thinks watching someone charging bought goods at a supermarket is fascinating), yet maybe something was going on in my subconscious mind that kept me from speeding in the "real", conscious world.
Oh well, I do not know anymore. Anyways, the random speed-changes in my life, though pretty rare, seemed to be significant enough for me to share on my blog today.
