The Universe is broken up into two physical regions, as defined by motion. Below the speed of light motion operates in three dimensions of space and one dimension of time. Above the speed of light motion operates in one dimension of space and three dimensions of time. As bizarre as that sounds, the mind is uniquely equipped to navigate in time, which is able to access memories of the past, gain awareness of events in the present, conceive of future possibilities, and even imagine alternative events that did not actually happen. In other words, the human mind can select a point of focus, just like in Remote Viewing, and receive information from the store of memories made during experience. If a mind is properly trained, it can be used to access non-experiential data in the same way one can recall a memory.
