<Norretranders postulates that most of the work is done at a subconscious level.> "subconscious" is an interesting term. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that there is function there. We aren't concious to 99.9% of our physiology (my guess)... meditators can reportedly monitor more... dunno how much more. DAK

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.
