Visualization is actually a commonly used technique of athletic development. It can be used to fine tune your state of emotional arousal or as you were mentioning, can be used to practice technique. I think it is great that we can create muscle memory without using the muscles at all and is a much more productive use of the brain than lusting over somebody at the bus stop.
I see no gap of space or time in this meeting of minds.
I really like this comment. The interface that current depicts our internet often gives reference to time, but does not reflect it in form. What this made me think, though, is that this same interface reinforces the linear causality that is also reinforced through our understanding of time...
The perspective that you are offering does not necessarily follow a cause and effect pattern, so my open ended question is: will the internet, in its form, break away from this paradigm? Will people then learn from it and experience the world with a different relationship to time?
Just wanting people's opinions on this.
we cannot stop thinking about work!
...and religion, and the religion of the 20th / 21st century has been consumerism... :-/
Clearly, there is some important thinking going on here, worthy of serious promotion.
You have a good point, I don't feel that the site is doing a good enough job of this currently.
Since I don't want my comment to be too long, and I am not sure that this is related to the post, I won't get into the interface any more... Maybe I will send suggestions/comments to rene directly?

Here is a short article about it:
