This is the tip of an iceberg, and moves about as fast. But just recently, the pace picked up on my work on how Owen Barfield and JRR Tolkien achieved what appear to be experiences of other consciousnesses.With Tolkien, this meant *reality, the world experienced in the extrapolation or re- [or sub-] creation of the language just at the threshold of the oldest extant written records. For Barfield, this lined up roughly with a stage of human consciousness he called original participation.
