Vit-D Deficiency causes Time-Dilation

[integral]

Started cycling vitamin D on and off and it's very noticeable that time passes much slower if I'm consistently taking vitamin D.

The deficiency probably from gut issues and malabsorption seems to cause time to pass much quicker during the day and you're in general less conscious and less alert.

So vitamin D deficiency is gonna lower your overall state of consciousness so your going to experience life a lot faster.

Interesting.

Vitamin D deficiency literally kills your DNA.

Everyone is deficient, a doctor told me that they don't do the test because it always comes back that the patient is deficient 100% of the time lol

Interesting - I experience the opposite perception of time. 

But I notice a difference in my perception of time nonetheless. 

So, for myself, I notice my attention span is lower - I tend to switch tasks or drift off more often. This has the effect of making me feel more time has passed.

When I am in a singular focused drive mode, time appears to pass VERY quickly.

Iron deficiency causes the same effect for me as vit D - time slows down.

I showed up as low vit D in blood tests - and also in a genetics and heritage test, which was surprising.

I take 5000IU a day, every day.

Interesting, I noticed the same! Yeah probably 90+% of people are deficient, but not because of malabsorption or gut issues. There's barely any vitamin D to be found in dietary sources, used to be more in the past. Even the RDA of 600 IU is not enough to reach sufficiency of 30+ ng/mL for the majority of people. The only reliable sources are UVB Sunlight, and supplements unfortunately. I'd say 4-5,000 IU is the minimum every adult should take daily, regardless of sun exposure.

Except, I found an article that discusses gene-modified (CRISPER) tomato leaves providing 8,000 IU of vitamin D per gram!

That's interesting, how I view it is vitamin D makes it easier to concentrate and enter flow and so my experiences are more vivid and memorable and so because I remember more of my day time passed slower.

How I'm experiencing it is if I get more done in a shorter shorter period of time and then I look at the clock and barely anytime has passed.

While when I'm deficient it takes a lot longer to get simple things done and they're all less memorable and enjoyable and so when I look at the time a huge amount of time has passed and barely anything was done.

I think it would make sense that the more conscious you are the more you're processing every moment, the more "dense" every moment is.

Also, quit caffeine for a few days or weeks, and you may notice that time seems to pass more slowly. Just an observation.

time passes slower the more conscious you become not the less conscious.

I think you guys are thinking of it backwards

But there's probably an axis here im not seeing, got to figure it out.

The best way to make time pass slower is to suffer

Not unless you enjoy it! Since you are generating it (except the physical one, for the most part). So fucking enjoy it already.

@integral

You have to distinguish between retrospective time dilation (episodic memory) and moment-to-moment time dilation (perceptual "frame rate").

If you're in a good mood, time generally passes by quickly moment to moment. If you're doing a lot of often new things, often hard things, looking back it feels like time has passed by slowly. On the other hand, if you're just doing the same things every day, every week, every year and you're used to the routine, you'll look back and think "wow, those years just flew by".

Weed and psychedelics massively decrease your perceptual frame rate (time feels like it moves slower moment to moment). And if you use weed chronically and you do the same things all the time (as one does), you increase the retrospective time dilation (looking back, time flew by). Psychedelics on the other hand tend to decrease it by a lot (because you tend to experience many new things on it).

Generally, the more obstacles you face, the more things make you think, the more new things you do, the more data points you go through with elaborate processing, makes time pass slower (both retrospectively and moment to moment). The more flow, the less obstacles, the more habitual, the more data points you go through with implicit processing, the more time flows uninhibited.

Go out on a track and run as hard as you can and see how slow time passes. Yea that might be self generated but it’s still a form of suffering .

You cant enjoy suffering right? Because it goes against the very definition. Or is there a sort of mind trick I don’t know that makes it possible to enjoy suffering? I would like to know that mind trick then

right i'm happy you made this distinction.

But explain why, I still experience that when there is a faster frame rate with moment to moment time dilation going up (more conscious, less brain fog) = time still passes slower.

There's another distinction that has to be made, what do you think it is?

I'm describing time passing slower when the frame rate goes up = more conscious + less brain fog from vitamin D correction.

The lower the frame rate, time passes extremely fast, the whole day is a blur, you're in a fog.

I don't see why that has to be suffered. Not being in pleasure doesn't automatically mean you have to be suffering. You may well experience some pain or discomfort, but these by themselves aren't suffering. And you can enjoy difficult things. Many people do enjoy, in your example, exercising, even though it often is uncomfortable.

edit: "You cant enjoy suffering right? Because it goes against the very definition. Or is there a sort of mind trick I don’t know that makes it possible to enjoy suffering? I would like to know that mind trick then."

Not a mind trick; actually embrace it. Stop resisting it. Look directly at it. Of course, this tends to eliminate the suffering, or may transform it into something else, like a sensation of some kind. Basically, practice turning into it. 

But we might be getting off-track.

Yea I see your point, exercise wasn’t the best example because most people don’t push themselves so hard they suffer from it . But I meant physical pain in general. 
 

Ok I’ll stop here

[Schizophonia]

When i tried testosterone, it put me in an slower alternative world.

Psychedelics also dilate time.

Thanks I will try

Just out of sheer curiosity, have you had real experiences where you have experienced this or is it theoretical for you as of now? It’s still a valuable point regardless, I’ve heard it before

I've actually had experiences like this, when you just stop doing stupid things with your mind.

In the meantime, I'll suffer the fact that I've failed to fully eliminate self-imposed suffering.
