Yeah I did a full 3.5g for the first time in the dark on the bed alone. It didn't make much sense. I was basically stuck with time/reality changing and moving onward, even though I was resisting it. I think I was physically moving myself in a circle on my bed, trying to resist reality. Then it ended and that was it. Wasn't enjoyable, and didn't learn much. Perhaps just a metaphor that you can't resist the true reality and moving of life. Next time I'll definitely do out while hiking instead.

Now that is extremely interesting... One of the things I've sometimes noticed (just going along normally) is that my mental "track" where I consciously keep up with/label/identify/classify environmental input, my own thoughts, ideas, etc, can sometimes lag, or get into a state where I don't have sufficiently detailed mental mnemonics to consciously tokenize raw perceptions, and as a result I can't correlate info and lose track of it. This happens constantly, especially when I try to learn new things; I'll basically be like "...!!!...wait what?" the whole time, realizing Amazing New Things™ that I'm then unable to mentally articulate to myself and then remember. What you described, with time/reality changing/moving forward while you were resisting it (trying to pin it down so you could focus on it?) made me think of the above. If what I described resonates, that could mean that psi doesn't "enhance" or have an altering impact on the fundamental issues/glitches/??? behind this mechanism, to the extent that all that happens is extra awareness of the problem, without really being able to affect it.

  Yeah I think it could be along the same lines. That even in our ultimate mental state, you still don't have the capacity to capture the reality of every moment. Our abstractions are how we see life, and they're just abstractions. The psi is doing something to cut those away, which can be beneficial for people who are caught on something (depression, ptsd, etc). It can be bad for some, who blend that raw perception into their lives and "cant be normal" anymore.
