A Theory On The Nature Of Trails

I speculate that when people see "trails" when they are tripping they are perceiving the past as being a dimension of space. And so I think that a person can view the past as being like images on film that have already passed through a projector and to see trails enables one to see glimpses of the images of the past much in the same way one can glimpse the past of a movie by looking at the images of a strip of film that have already been projected onto a movie screen by a projector. And so I speculate that it is possible through meditation for one to train ones mind to see the dimension of space that is the past and to not only see recent trails but to be able to look back even further to the recent and ancient history of the earth. I propose that the entire history of the planet is in front of our eyes and that it exists in a dimension of space that people glimpse when they see "trails". And so this implies that every thing one does and every thought one thinks is a mark upon the earth which exists in the dimension of space known as the past. And I say thoughts exist in this dimension known as the past because thoughts are behaviors too. I doubt the future is a dimension of space though. Time clearly is nothing more than the motion of matter through space. The experience of motion is time. If the past is a dimension of space this is what can explain why countries develop a national culture because maybe the past exerts a sort of gravitational pull that influences the present culture.

I agree with most of what you said. I see these trails all the time. Some have called this hppd.. but i disagree. When i was brewing ayahuasca for the first time i started seeing amazing trails.. unlike any ive seen before.. And i hadnt drank the brew yet. Ever since.. those annoying lsd tracers disappeared and the mellow white glowing aya tracers replaced them. Like i said.. i do agree with what you say.. but i think a distinction should be made. Different compounds produce a different visionary effect when it comes to "trails". The way i can describe what i now experience all the time.. is another hand following my "real" one.. While lsd kind of blends it all together.. When i was heavily experimenting with lsd.. i came to the conclusion that these tracers are the result of increased visual sensitivity.. Meaning.. the information of whatever it is you are observing.. is multiplied because the brain is basically saying that it didnt receive the information so it becomes more pronounced as it comes streaming in again.. and again.
Does that make any sense ?

I think I get what you are saying, what I don't understand is why is the brain saying it didn't receive the information? Is this something you simply felt during the experiences?

Nope.. Science.. This is how lsd works. The chemicals trick your receptors into thinking they havent received the information. This is why sensory overload is quite common amongst heroic dosers

Interesting concept. I find what you're saying agrees with an idea put forward by Aldous Huxley in The Doors of Perception:
"Each person is at each moment capable of remembering all that has ever happened to him and of perceiving everything that is happening everywhere in the universe. The function of the brain and nervous system is to protect us from being overwhelmed and confused by this mass of largely useless and irrelevant knowledge, by shutting out most of what we should otherwise perceive or remember at any moment, and leaving only that very small and special selection which is likely to be practically useful. According to such a theory, each one of us is potentially Mind at Large." -Aldous Huxley
I believe the power of the mind can enable us to experience everything that is happening, and like you mentioned, meditation is just a way of channeling that power. I also believe the use of psychedelics achieve a similar state of increased awareness as in meditation. When I say increased awareness I mean to say that the mind is subject/exposed to more than what is happening at that very place/moment in time.

I'm sure it's possible in some way with the mind. I'm just not sure whether it would be authentic history..
In terms of science, I was thinking hypothetically, "What if we put a highly technological telescope deep into space, to view our galaxy, and be able to zoom in great detail, the surface of the earth?"
With space, the distance of an object is technically considered in the past, the further the object is, the further in the past we see.
Thats why when we view galaxies such as andromeda, we are looking at something that possibly might not even exist anymore..
But if you were to send some amazing telescope out 100 light years away, (100 years into the past it could capture the earths state)
It would take 100 years to send it that far a distance, and by then, if it could take these grand pictures, it wouldn't take pictures of 100 years before it was sent, [but the moment we send the telescope up in space].
Does this mean the telescope would see itself coming towards itself? Could this be something similar to astral bodies,tracers, or even ghosts?
It's possible.

You should look at "The Holographic Universe," by Michael Talbot. There is a part where he covers this almost exact same thing. He talks about psychics who uncover mysteries of anthropology. He even cited one major anthropologist as saying that psychics are the future of anthropology because these people were so exact.

Yes, the telescope would see itself.

Actually it may not be able to, because of the distance the data has to travel. :-\
