Brand
new research from Scientists at the Salk Institute in California, just released
to the public in April, postulates that the brain seems to work in a similar way
to the slightly delayed broadcast of live TV shows, to provide an opportunity
for fast editing changes – the very changes we had mentioned in our section
“Reality ?” (prior to April).
The
research is suggesting a bizarre consequence that the brain collects information
from the future of an event before it puts together what it thinks it saw at the
time of the event, ie, in the case of this sentence, you have reached the full
stop before you have made sense of the last few letters.
The
Californian team therefore deduce that ‘normal’ people are living in the past –
an 80 thousands of a second delay before the brain decides what it has seen,
plus the delays required for signals to travel from place to place in the brain
– the idea of ‘now’ being an illusion.
Here they are simply translating normal consciousness as the Maya, or
illusion, of everyday life, as stated in our section titled “Reality ?”,
abridged from “Buddha And The Autist”, written during
1999.
Given
that autistic brains function in an alternative way from standard brain uses, it
is the case whereby some can, in some circumstances, collect information from
even further futuristic events, thus experiencing the déjà vu effect as written
of by Avril who states in another section “Remembering Birth” that she lives her
life as if she is already ahead of it, a part of her ahead of it, a continual
déjà vu. Had she retrieved the
caravan before it was stolen ? (See
the section “A Needle In A Haystack”).
