Well, yeah, normally we refer to location as being spatio-temporal, but what we kinda mean in common everyday language is just spatial. And of course, when you're saying spatio-temporal, you still mean at a certain place in space vector along linear time. Temporo-spatial? That might work.
Yes, I must say that the biggest challenge of RST, at least for me, is to think in terms of the functions of space and time being reversed, particularly the issue of 3D time. I have a feeling this is something I will be trying at for a while, so if we feel like we can skip it and move on to other things, and maybe come back to it from time to time, that might be best. I'll leave that one up to 3D, since he's the teach/learner in this thread.
yeah, ubergud, I do think that it's very possible that many other substances may give us access to t/s or at least to our t/s aspects of ourselves, or just give us insight into it. But this would be difficult to judge would it not? The variety of these experiences is so great you can really only scratch your head and wonder, thinking "hmmm maybe..." I'm thinking particularly of hallucinogens, here. Some experiences are more obviously this than others, though, such as chemically induced "mystical experiences" where the veil may very well be pierced. I think this is almost certain, and Ra even mentioned it somewhere in there...though not necessarily advocating it. So I would say it's possible that someone who has had many such experiences may find it easier to imagine (or remember) what t/s is like. Mind altering substances are definately a good, albeit unpredictable and highly interpretable, source.
