Is time experienced at different rates by different minds?

Question

How could a being that experiences time at a different rate ever communicate with one that has a totaly different rate of time experience? Sorta like if you had one person who could see the pulse from ?florescent? lights world would look to someone who couldnt see the pulse. Only on a much scale where the whole world would be at a different rate of pulse.

Answer 1

Interesting question. Unfortunately time perception is subjective and we may never fully comprehend the experience of time by another. However, you can experience changes in your perception of time yourself. I don't remember the source, but a scientist discovered that the mind of someone with a fever develops a distorted sense of time. The higher the fever, the more slowly the passing of time is perceived by the person. Other factors can affect how you perceive time too.

Regarding differences in perceptions and ability to relate to others. We go through this everyday. Our perception is our reality and it will impact us and our actions, however, someone may have a very different perception and therefore a different reality from ours. By virture of the fact we are stuck in our bodies, we are unable to know if what we call purple is my green and your blue, but we have a relative concept of what is meant by purple.

The scientist who first caught on to changes in perception of time passing had a sick wife who was running a high fever. He went directly to the store to get her medicine and came right back to a wife who was livid over how long he had been gone. It turns out he was only gone for a short time but because his wife's body temperture was high, her perceived reality, was that it was a long time. He brought the clock to her attention and she calmed down and a seed was planted in his mind regarding perception and time. However, as you can see it was only her relative perception and its change that impacted their ability to relate well.

Answer 2

There's some neural circuits which help the brain count time. Some people might have different rates, depending on how they relate to other things.

Edmund Husserl wrote about the phenomenology of internal time consciousness, and distinguished three times. Ancient Greeks had two: chronos or clock time and kairos, or caring/attention time.

"Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, has some indirect discussion of time.
"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?" Free and Wilcock, deals with time.
Http://www.tiller.org and http://www.coasttocoastam.com radio also deal with time issues.
"An Experiment with Time," J. Dunne, is a classic.

Answer 3

If u are referring at the speed of perception, I think the fastest should slow his rate, if he wants to communicate.It`s like between running and walking. Who is running can walk, at least for a while. Who is only walking can`t run. It`s a matter of goodwill. A fast mind can decrease speed, a slow one can`t increase it. That`s life.
