Now: Give us a moment … We are speaking quietly to keep Ruburt in a particular state — but (humorously, leaning forward), we will not whisper.

The true [mental] physicist2 will be a bold explorer — not picking at the universe with small tools, but allowing his consciousness to flow into the many open doors that can be found with no instrument, but with the mind.
Your own consciousness as you think of it, as you are familiar with it, can indeed help lead you into some much greater understanding of the simultaneous nature of time3 if you allow it to. You often use tools, instruments, and paraphernalia instead — but they do not feel time, in those terms. You do. Studying your own conscious experience with time will teach you far more. Period.

Suppose that you stood in one spot all of your physical life, and that you had to do this because you had been told that you must. In such a case you would only see what was directly before you. Your peripheral vision might give you hints of what was to each side, or you might hear sounds that came from behind. Objects — birds, for example — might flash by you, and you might wonder at their motion, significance, and origin. If you suddenly turned an inch to the right or the left you would not be altering your body, but simply changing its position, increasing your overall picture, turning very cautiously from your initial position. So the little exercise above is like that.

(“No,” I said, although I was feeling the pace a bit. But Jane was doing well.)

I admit that I am being sneaky here; but if you did not feel the need to kill animals to gain knowledge, then you would not have wars, either. You would understand the balances of nature far better.

I am not saying that you would have necessarily had a perfect world, but that you would have been dealing more directly with the blueprints for reality.
