Thanks for that! I never realized until now how amazingly slow the conscious process is. The subconscious must be busier than the proverbial one-armed paperhanger to keep the conscious from "thrashing", a computer term for a system saturated with housekeeping functions and incapable of advancing the program.

To me, a Zen experience is that special state in which the conscious' bitrate slows to zero, allowing other perception modes to become transparent. Imo it's to some extent a talent. I don't have it, as I am peculiarly bad at meditating.
