Seein’ Trails
Whoa ... dude ... I’m seeing trails ...
Okay, anybody who has been really high has seen trails. That effect of when your move your hand that instead of seeing the hand as a discrete form you see it as a long blur. The same thing happens if you move a glowing incense stick or sparkler. This is persistence of vision.Â
Now, here is a cool thing. This visual phenomenon is a kind of approximation of seeing in the fourth dimension. All living things move. As we move in three dimensions we are individual objects but in four dimensions with time as that fourth axis we become elongated and snake like.Â
This is how we really are. It is the view that we are individual objects which is the illusion. Sadly our perception only allows us to see in this three dimensional perspective.
