The first time it happened I was too scared to use it.
I was being jumped but I didnt want to fight. I was 9 and there were 2 of them. They were older. The beat my up at first. Punching my face. I froze, didnt dodge or put my hands up. I was to afraid, I remember thinking: "stop, why wont they stop?This hurts, I dont want to be here. I dont want to fight...wait...whys everything so slow...I can see everything...they're tired?...no....everything so slow..." I could see them clearly, very clearly. They were moving slow. About 1/4 as fast as they were in the beginning.
"...theyve slown down so much...I can stop them...I can hit them...I have to hit them..."
My arms moved very fast. Faster than they had ever moved. I stuck them swiftly,both of them, in the throte, blocked there hits with ease, hit them in the stomachs, blocked theres punches easily, "they're so slow, theyre so slow,..." eventually they were on the ground, trying to breathe, everything was at regular speed again, I walked away and never told anyone.

Well, a few years later It happened again, this time I was in 7th grade. There were 4 of them. I got hit once in the face, and immediatly things slowed down. It was exactly the same as before. "It...its happening...again...I can do it again...I dont have to be afraid...Im ok...everythings ok....Im not going to be hurt...I wont let myself be hurt..."
I fought back and won, simular to how I had before, simple strikes.

After that I decided I needed to train, not just physically but mentally too. Everynight I did pushups and sit ups and chin ups and clap pushups, lifted weights, and even started to spar with a few people. Nothing to tough.
I read all the philosophy,martial arts, and poetry books I could find. I became smarter than ever, and continued to do so.
I meditated my own way. I watched the sky while lying down on a field so all I could see was blue. I could see so many things.
I would constantly think, constantly think, about philosophy, martial arts, poetry, phycology.
Then, in 10th grade, I was walking down a hallway, I saw a girl, she was being held against the wall, chicken armed, she had started to cry. The boy holding her there looked mad, he was yelling, but I cant remember what. he was older than me, probably a senior. I saw him. I stayed calm. But I was furious. "Men should never hurt women...he does not deserve the power hes been given...he is WRONG!"
The everything slowed down...I walked to him...grabbed him...and threw him to the opposite wall.
He looked up, I stepped infront of the girl.
"What the f*^ks your problem"
I spoke, but I didnt know what I was saying.
"You are arrogent, I will clip your sinfull wings."
He ran at me, he was fast. I dodged all of his punchs, but was forced to back up.
I became aware that the girl was behind me still, and if I continues to back up, she would be in danger.
"I will not allow her to be hurt...I must be stronger...I must defeat him...he is wrong...he is wrong...he is wrong!"
Eveything slowed down to about 1/3 speed, and I felt my hands become cool. Not cold, just cool. Like they were running through room temperature water.
I saw them strike, but it was more. When they hit, they hurt him, much more than I would have thought.
"they're so strong...is he pretending?...no...Im stronger...hes afraid?...hes wrong..."
I started to move, he went for a swinging punch, I swept under it and sweep kicked his legs. Grabbing his arm as he fell, I pulled it behind him, high. Lying on the floor, arm close to breaking, he screamed.
"This sinful arm is judged..."
I started bending it upward...
"Stop!"
It was the girl, on her knees, crying still, but for a different reason.
"Please stop. dont...please dont..."
I watched her cry as the world became real again.
"forgive me" I said and slowly walked away.

I considered for a long time how everything had slown down, how it had become greater.
I knew it could be taken further. I knew it could.
So, I trained, harder. I would try to activate this ability. I would try and try. Eventually I figure it out. But I'll save that for later.

A few months ago, I was at a school gathering. 2 Academies were being forced to join together. Neither liked eachother and tensions ran high as the other academy started getting obnoxious. The went over to the food tables, that were being prepaired by the females. I noticed this and began to walk over, calmly.
A girl I knew was being hassled. The guys there from the other academy were trying to get food early. The girls were telling them to go away. One of the guys, I suppose the leader, grabbed some food and was about to eat it. The girl I knew grabbed his arm. She screamed for his to put it back. He shoved her off and pushed her down. The other girls screamed at them as she started to cry. The boys laughed.
I walked up quielty to the girl on the floor, I had to feeling for her, and had never spoken to her, but I knew who she was.
"Hey, you ok?"
"No..."she was crying a little trying to hold it back
"Its alright, just stay here"
I had trained and knew what I could do. Part of me did this to help the girls, but another part did this to see if I could.
"You, appologize."
"Me? Man f&*k you!"
"Appologize with words...or with screams"
again, I didnt know what I was saying, the words just came.
"What? You think your tough. F%*k you faggot"
"..." I walked forward. counting how many, 11.
World slowed down by 1/3 and I felt the water on my palms.
"second stage?...I thought it would take longer...hehehe...Ive won this fight..."
The fight started, I wasnt even touched, I hit them, hard and with ease.
But they kept getting back up.
"I need more...there must be more...I cant...I wont lose...there is MORE!"
I felt it quickly. There was a feeling of...rightchoesness.power.magesticy.more.
The world harldy moved like the world. It was at 1/6 speed.
"I knew it...I knew it...I am more...there was more...they cant win"

The best way I can describe what I saw is this:
Compaire looking at a vase with a picture on it to what we regularly see.
What I saw was a vase with a picture, but I could see the entire picture.
I saw everything, even what was being be. I could feel every movement. The movements of my enemies. I cant remember where my eyes were looking, I just remember seeing everything. My hands were so fast even in my state I couldnt see them.
I fought with a style I had never used, I was using moves I never even thought of or had seen. They just did. My body moved with precision and professionality. I made contact and could see the fear and pain in there eyes.
I won the fight. But after...

I walked back to where I was lying down before the fight. It was a long walk.
"...I won...focus...dont pass out...if you stop {walking} youll pass out...walk...just walk."
I made it back to the spot. But when I got there and stopped walking I threw up, twice. I walked a few feet away and lied down.
I stared at the sun as leaves from the tree above me dance around it. The light barely made it to me, the grass felt cool...I slept.
I woke up and my friends were next to me. They had made sure no one disturbed me. They told me, the others were afraid. No one had seen a fight me fight like that, or anyone fight like that. They told me that they couldnt see my hands, while I was fighting. That my other friends were frieghtened by me.
I went home early, and slept. I awoke and my body screamed. It ached all over. I drank water and slept.


I am wondering if anyone has this ability. Purhaps youve kept it quiet. If youve only been to first or maybe second stage let me tell you. There is more. It can be trained.I have trained them and can use them at will.
First stage, for me, Is used when I feel fear or pain.
Second stage, for me, is activated with a feeling of pure rightchousness. No anger or fear. I concentraite on that or, now that ive trained, by looking at a flame. A simple match works for me. Just focus on the flame.
Third stage, it took a while to figure out. But, for me, its music.
I listen to music or hear music. This is another ability I hope one of you has, to hear music when theres none playing. Your mind plays music, but you hear it. Just as you would in the real world. You hear it, not just think it.
That triggers the third stage.

I wish to know if anyone else has this ability, even if it is only stage one or two. Please, I cant figure out stage four. I havent been able to reach it. I know it must exist, I can feel it. But I dont know what it is.
The pattern is:

Pain/fear
Rightchousness/fire
Music/Instincts
??? (Maybe spiritual or intransic)
There will be those who dismiss these abilities as adrenaline or imagination,
but I know what it is. I feel it.
(Also, I have never done any drugs or alcohal so dont be the ignorent voice who asks that)

Well I've never heard of that happening, nor have I heard of anyone beating 11 people single handedly. When your fighting time goes by slow, just a two minute spar feels like 10, but it just feels like that. It's not like you can react faster or anything. the speed is the same pace.

The story you told us, especially the comments you made when fighting sounded ridiculous, but probably tough at the time lol.

Maybe your a superhero.

Not to say your lying, but I'm not really convinced you did all that. Youtube the real superhumans on youtube. It's like an hour long documentary on people with "crazy abilities". One guy is immune to cold (no frostbite or hypothermia either). One guy is a painter with no eyes. One chicks sees colours with sound. It's cool. So in case your actually a confused guy with some crazy mind power you won't feel alone.

but I seriously would consider changing your name to Neo

I didnt expect many to believe me. I appreciate your humor.
I was just hoping there was someone else who had this. Ive talked to a few people who could focus and hear music in silence and a few others who had simular experiences with time slowing down, but never tried to train it.

I believe everything is measurable through explainable and rational elements of a physical nature. Nothing Spiritual or superhuman. Just not yet discovered.
Mental abilities can be stretched. If it werent for the limits we place on them.
Its like counting in your head, and hearing your voice in your head. Nothing special.But, why is it you cant count faster. Your mind has placed natural limits on your minds voice. It makes you sound out each word as you would in real life, but why shouldnt you be able to take it further? A mind should be able to reach its limits.

I have experienced time slowing down but it's a perception thing. Physically they don't slow down and I don't speed up. I train with sticks a lot. Compared to the tip of a stick, a fist moves at a relatively slow speed. So when I see a guy start to punch my perception tends to be that he's moving relatively slow. Since I'm used to seeing sticks swung at me I feel like I have all the time in the world. Because of my training, my reflexes are more honed and my motions are more efficient than the average bear. Consequently, it may seem to my opponent or to people on the outside that I'm moving very quickly. The physical reality hasn't changed just perceptions. The cool thing, though, is that since each person's own reality is shaped by his/her perceptions ... but that's a whole different conversation right there

No, disrespect in any way, I've just never heard or seen of this so I just find it hard to believe. Slowing down to 1/4 speed of reality would be a pretty amazing talent if your not making it up.

ShadowAce

I completely agree with you. What I want to know then, is if you believe you can train your perception to an extreme level. And if you can, then can your children inherit this instinctual perception and activate it. Simply having gained it intrinsically.
If perception vary so much, then why not train yours to be greater?
I trained, in different ways, with simple tasks to improve relfexes and to gain mental speed and concentration. I doubt I am special from others who have this same ability. I simply spent more time focused on it, so that I could train it. I was hoping others had done the same thing and trained it.

Since perception is based on experience, and what your used, to it's not in your genes. Thus your kid wouldn't have it unless he did, whatever you do that makes your perception so high. Unless your a mutation, then Darwin's theories
will determine your kin's abilities.

I disagree.. What he has discribed is sensory overload in the brain.

This is a commom phenomenon, when the brain starts getting more visual data than can be processed. Another Military term would be the fog of War.


To answer his question, Yes, I have experienced the same thing during moments of combat. And Yes, this is just a time and space perception.

If mastered, a person could potentially be more efficient with movement, therefore "faster" than his or her opponet/s.

This thread is awesome. A little "Matrix", a little "Star Wars", a bucketload of Van Damme and Seagal under the influence of Stephen King and Clive Barker, all wrapped up in the isolation/delusion of "Taxi Driver".

Did I miss anything?

eXcessiveForce

I was referring to his overly dramatic monologue,

Perception does seem to speed up under stress, leading to things appearing to slow down. Most martial artists have experienced this, heck many people who have been in car crashes experience this.

But the post reads like a comic book.
