Presence is something that is limited by the method of sending information back and forth and it's range that this communication maintanes integrity. The integrity of the original formation of the information packaged into a form that represents another source of information.

Within this range there is a psuedo omni-presence outside of this range and there is a time bound limited and diminished presence.

Within this range, communication is nearly instantanious. In some situations, even in near omni-presence the communication can take very long. As in sending and receiving information to and from outer space, but, in spite of these delays, a kind of enhanced presence takes place.

If two consciousnesses are moving along at different rates, the one moving faster interprets the slower consciousness as moving slower. Think of a duel tape deck that records from one tape to another, at high speed. To us, at our rate of consciousness, it sounds like gibberish because it is moving so fast. But the tape that is recording this signal is moving at the same, speeded rate, as the tape that is producing the sounds. When we play back this high speed recording at normal speed it sounds normal.

The sun shows itself in 24 hour cycles and this has to have had some influence on our timing. We all share a basic range of cycles per second that our consciousness can function properly within. If we could break free of this biological constraint and cause consciousness to move along at extremelly faster or slower rates, would we suffer from a local time dialation effect?

If two people could slow down their consciousnesses greatly (to a level that would be interpreted as brain death now) would people around them appear to be moving and communicating very fast? Would these two people appear as statues to the people in normal consciousness rates?

Would this constitue a sort of time travel effect? Suppose that two people slowed their consciousnesses down to the rate where one hour, in the normal world, would equal one minute, in this slowed rate. To the people moving along at the slow rate the day would appear to take 24 minutes to go by. Things would appear to be moving rather fast around them and seem like a blur. Let us hope that htese people who take 24 minutes to see our 24 hours are in a safe a secure location since at those rates they may not be able to respond to events taking place in the realm, where consciousness moves along at our speed.

Suppose the reverse, that two people were communicating and moving along at a very fast rate of conscioseness. Where one hour in our normal time would take one minute to go by in their speeded up state. These people would see the world and it's motions as moving in slow motion. Many current VCRs have a slow motion button which is a good illustration of this effect.

Spin a vynal record, while it is playing, at different speeds and the music will be greatly distorted, (unless you can turn this effect into a rhythmic style, as in current music). We only know of this one range of rates for our consciousness. From waking in the morning to a stressfull fast thinking situation, our brains allow consciousness to move along anywhere from 10 to 17 cycles per second, (the frames of consciousness). These are the rate variations that our ongoing consciousnesses are trapped in.

Now suppose that we invented some technology that would allow us to increase or decrease this biologically imosed rate. Suppose that we could change the miniscule 10 to 17 cycles per second to .001 to 1000 cycles per second. If we could free ourselves from the biological boudries and move along anywhere between these two rates, which rate would most people choose? Would people change rates constantly to adapt to each particular situation or would most be attracted to one arbitray setting?

While travelling the highways many conversations start on the CB radio, Often times on channel 19. When the conversation picks up people say, let's go over to another channel, say 15, where there are not many people trying to talk at once. Is this how people will float between differing rates of consciousness?

If you were irritable or impatient waiting for something you could slow down and whatch the world go by, faster. If you were in a defensive mode you could speed up so as to be a step ahead of other rates of consciousness around you.
