Prep Trap Example 1: 'p.t.'
'Coming to p.t.' (Present Time) is an example of a pattern of intentional
contracting ('concentration') with the purpose of bringing order into
something. Typically, the person's perception then fails to expand again.
To begin with, the attention units of an 'ordinary' human being are
scattered all over a projected timeline, making the Being seemingly 'stuck
in the past'.
As a remedy, the person could ignore stuck attentions by concentrating on a
time slice that it projects as 'Present Time' or undo stuck attentions
except those in p.t.
This, however, is a preparatory step and not the final objective.
So far, it is tunnel-vision. If expansion does not occur after the initial
contraction, the Being becomes 'concentrated' (literally!!) and is
figuratively 'smaller' than before.
In other words, if a 'concentration' exercise or practice is not
immediately followed by un-focussing again (cp. 'Focus') or if it is not
followed by permeating a medium or the Universe as such, it can quickly
become a 'prep trap' (cp. 'Introversion, Extroversion, and Permeation').
At least, a Being must be able to view time in a larger perspective. But
optimally the person runs something like Filbert's 'Trackblaster' process
or follows something along the line of Dennis Stephens ('TROM/'time
breaking'). Then there is no limit to a Being's perception of time anymore
because the illusion of a timetrack has been broken apart (hopefully in a
smooth way).
Limiting the attention of people regarding 'time' is a favorite tool of
cult masters. Especially in conjunction with the 'on-the-roll' trap, one
can quickly raise robots who will execute the orders of their masters
without questioning or even a second-thought about it.
An interesting situation occurs when a person really tries to limit their
attention on a single point of time. This then becomes an exercise, let's
call it the 'catch-the-moment' process. It is best done with a noisy clock
and by first limiting one's perception of time to strictly the time in
between beats. This will induce a feeling of 'shifting' through time.
Once this feeling is there, one can try to 'hold' this feeling while
shifting through the intervals of one second each. This can result in
'time' virtually falling away left and right. Surprisingly (or not?),
arresting time will create a very similar perception as 'boundless time'.
The perceptions of 'No time at all' and 'all the time' are practically not
distinguishable. Even before this point, however, a person will be unable
to perform any coordinated tasks, as simple as they may appear to be.
'Being in Present Time', therefore, in praxis means 'being limited to a
strictly limited time slice', which is a feature that animals share with
robots.
