In the summer of 1991, I was walking in a Swiss train
station with my husband, who carried our one-year-old baby on his
shoulders. We were returning to our home in Lausanne near Lake Geneva
after having been traveling for some time by train. My daughter was
happily holding onto my husband's neck and hair for support, while he
carried two suitcases (his and hers) in his arms.
I walked behind my husband several paces back, carrying my suitcase and
noticing with increasing concern that our daughter had released her grip on
my husband's hair. I could see that she was now happily waving her arms
free, so they rose and fell with each step he took as she bounced
along.
Very suddenly and without warning, our daughter bounced up and free of her
dad's shoulders and began falling, back, head-first towards the hard marble
floor of the train station. I realized with a sudden shock that there was
no way he could stop her from falling, since both his hands were gripping
their two suitcases, and she was falling much too quickly for him to react
in time. I was about twelve feet behind him... much too far away to catch
her as she fell, since she was going down FAST.
I felt a rush of emotions flooding me with energy and I realized that I
desired with all my heart and soul to somehow catch her.
In the very next moment, I felt myself continuing to walk forward at my
normal speed, while everything and everyone around me moved more and more
slowly. It seemed that everyone walking nearby began moving in slow
motion. The normal high-pitched sounds of high-heeled footsteps clicking
on marble tiles slowed and softened to a low hum along with everything
else, as everything except me slowed to a state approaching suspended
animation.
I was overjoyed to be able to easily catch up to my husband just as our
daughter fell freely into my arms! I felt I was walking at a fast but
still perfectly normal speed as I covered the vast distance between us
while I could see my daughter was no longer falling... she and everyone
else was almost perfectly still.
When I caught my daughter, time resumed its normal flow once again, and
everyone around me began moving at normal speed. Nobody seemed to stop and
stare at me (I later wondered if it looked to others like I was moving
forward at super-human speed), and I was simply too overwhelmed with
emotions of love and gratitude to stop passers by and ask them what they'd
noticed.
If you've read books like "The Ending of Time" by J. Krishnamurti and David
Bohm, or "Space, Time, and Knowledge" by Tarthang Tulku, then you are
familiar with the idea that we can psychologically access a place where
time stands still. What I've discovered is that the concept of time
slowing to a stop is not merely an imaginary analytical notion, but is a
tangible, real-life experience that could happen to you.
