I first started thinking, "Ah, another defense mechanism I need to counter." Then I realized that I had already countered it, identified what I had done that was the reason it was countered, and understood that's why it was revealed. That felt good.

Time is perceived (created) according to your state of awareness. When you focus internally and work at high speed in an environment where that speed is not compared to the outer world, there is no relative reference for how fast you are going, so you normalize to that "speed" and it seems like what you're used to. When you then shift focus outside of that processing bubble to the "real world" it seems that time slowed down because you're expecting that X number of actions take Y amount of time. Internally, there is no limit to how fast you can think as long as you stop relying on (or reduce reliance on) the physical brain to do your thinking. It's like trying to process a complex mathematical process in a terminal designed to show you results, vs trying to process it kn the main computer designed to do that kind of work at maximum speed. Most people never realize that the brain is just a terminal, and the mind can work much, much faster outside of the limitations the physical brain has. Just depends on where you focus as to what gets used.

I am very pleased to see you making progress.
