Our bodies are oscillators, and the atoms making up our bodies are also oscillators. Therefore, we expand into a spacelike dimension many times a second very rapidly and collapse back as rapidly, possibly at the rate of atomic vibration. However, in an altered state of consciousness we can expand our subjective time greatly. This allows us to observe the action of other psyches that are “out there” at a leisurely pace and bring back useful information from “there.” This is done without using up much objective time.
