A recent NPR radio broadcast spoke of how rapid is the tiny humming bird and how the bird might perceive our movement as very slow. In contrast we might seem to move fast in the eyes of a whale, which if memory serves the broadcast said has a heart rate of one beat/minute.
TSK has asserted that time has different tempo at different scales of space. To consider this I did a thought experiment considering the human body. Going through the Giant Body exercise ( TSK exercise 1, page 21), I found not only infinite space, but many tempos and rhythms of time. Bacteria growing, cells dividing and subatomic bombardment, all different rates. Smaller scale space had more rapid vibrational movement.
It seemed as though I embodied many different time zones.

We can think of lineage as threads of time.
And appearance as multiple threads of interactive time.
Every fiber perpetuating rhythm and tempo
I like that thought experiment. It points to a different aspect of lineage — that each lineage has its own temporal dynamic; it’s own ‘tempo’, as the reference to TSK suggests.
