Hmmmm. I'm not sure what to say. I like the idea - love the idea - that by creating loops I can somehow alter time...but..I have no actual physical evidence of this. I know about "missing time" because I have had many experiences with it, but how can I measure the effect of soundscaping on time? And does this only effect time with in ear shot of the loop? Or what. I'm not convinced. BUT...I am open to the idea. MORE DATA NEEDED!! I tend to think that our "western" idea of time is just some man made thing that really has little more purpose than to coordinate "where" we are in the sea of eternity. Its a perception like lines on a map. I cross a certain point and I'm in the USA, my health care doesn't work and I can buy a handgun. Nothing physically has changed its just that I'd no longer be in Canada. I think our idea of time is similar. For most its just a way of knowing when to be at work, and how long to be there for. Are there any aboriginals Looping? What would that take on this topic be?? As for not always being here...my day-job boss complains about that aspect of me continuously...
