Another example of possible
depth perception changes involves looking down a hallway. You may
seem to be 10 feet tall, your regular height, 3 inches tall or any
height and be in the hall and the hall can be the right size, very big or very small where you are,
but it can be tiny at the other end to the point where it will seem
impossible for an ant to fit through the hallway down there at the
other end. It can also be the other way in which at the other end,
it looks so big, tall and wide that an airplane could go down the
hall like the hall is a runway, take off, reach full altitude and
still be in the building and the hallway. If you are looking at a picture
of two people talking on a street corner, you can be there talking
to them and as always, you better watch out for the traffic whether
the traffic is seen in the picture or not. Even though it seems as
if you are in the picture or at the football game, you still know
that you are in a room looking at a picture or looking at the television,
that you aren't really in the picture or at the game and that you
can get out of the picture or the game by looking away from the picture
or the TV set. It should be noted that many
of these things mentioned throughout the book that can happen, if
they happen at all on your trip, will probably happen fairly quickly
and then be gone. If it seems as if you're 3 inches tall or that you're
entering the "action" in a painting, you might get the effect
for only a few seconds or even just an instant. It won't go on and
on but because you are in eternity, it can seem like it's a long time.
If you are enjoying the experience of being 3 inches tall, you may
not be able to control how long you get that effect. It can go away,
you can wish it was still there and you won't be able to get it back
by trying. The only way you can get that effect back, if you do get
it back, is the way you got it the first time. It will have to happen
on its own. When these special effects come and go, it will not be
a disappointment to lose any one of them because there are so many
others and you will be continuously amazed. |
