Scientists find evidence for 'chronesthesia,' or mental time

What is a human being? What is life? Can science give us reliable answers to such questions? The electricity of life. The meaning of human consciousness. Are we alone? Are the traditional contests between science and religion still relevant? Does the word "spirit" still hold meaning today?

Scientists find evidence for 'chronesthesia,' or mental time travel

http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-12-sci ... ental.html

(PhysOrg.com) -- The ability to remember the past and imagine the future can significantly affect a person's decisions in life. Scientists refer to the brain’s ability to think about the past, present, and future as "chronesthesia," or mental time travel, although little is known about which parts of the brain are responsible for these conscious experiences. In a new study, researchers have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of mental time travel and better understand the nature of the mental time in which the metaphorical "travel" occurs.

Tip:

Study the past.

Use a ancient map and get into the minds of people hundreds of years in the past.

Then work yourself to the present. Think of yourself now. Who you are and where your at.

After that, think of your grand kids thinking of you hundreds of years in the future. Where are they at, what are they doing? Why is our technology so outdated? What happened in between?
This was particularly an unusual Out of Body Experience...
