Duveyoung, could you elaborate a bit on the second sentence? I may be dense, and do not quite get the gist of what you are saying. As an analogy, it does not quite seem to sync with the first sentence, so either I am unclear, or your sentence is too vague, and if you respond, you can let me know which you feel it is. I get that it is easier to visualise time distortion than the distortion of space, which I believe most probably visualise as being very rectilinear and stable. Most seem to not appreciate there is a distinction between the concept of 'self' as opposed to 'Self', as 'Self' is not a commonly known concept in the United States at least. I have friends for whom this idea makes no sense whatever. But it only makes sense from a certain perspective. 'Self' versus 'self' does not really mean anything if you discover what these terms are all about, because they are part of the mythos of a particular set of spiritual paths, and only have relevance for part of that trek when one is under the influence of the dream.
