You could just as well have tuned in, so to speak, on any one of the numberless other such systems. The individual within this particular other system, however, has a different sort of psychological makeup than your own. He is not as capable of intense concentration within as large a perspective as that possessed by your ego.

We have spoken, saying that the ego has a relatively small but intense focus. Your friend however has an even smaller specific field of attention, to yourway of thinking. The concentration however and the focus is much more intense than that with which you are familiar.

Because his range was so large, your dissociated conditions simply met more easily than otherwise. However, once his attention was centered here, he turned his conscious attention to full focus upon what he perceived. Nor did he perceive your physical form as you know it. But he picked up fully your emotional recognition and fear, and these were translated or perceived by him in his own fashion, so that to him you appeared as a mass of varying colors, and as movement of severe intensity.

You translated, now, this data into other terms. The alien nature of the individual you translated into an animalistic appearance. This was not to emphasize any lower or base characteristics, but was your way of translating the individual’s exceptionally clear, pure and single-minded perception. For the intensity behind the perception reminded you of the unswerving attention often displayed in animals: a complete lack of trickery as it is understood by you.

There are brain formations, not materialized in physical form. Sensations are perceptions; emotions perceived in terms of color, and directly in terms of intensities. There is no direct relation here to your own system at all, except of course that all systems are ultimately connected. The inverted time system results in a different sequence of experience than that with which you are acquainted.
