Marc Wittman, Felt Time

“Consciousness is tied to corporeality and temporality: I experience myself as existing with a body over time.”

"Presence means becoming aware of a physical and psychic self that is temporally extended. To be self-conscious is to recognize oneself as something that persists through time and is embodied."

"Through mindfulness and emotional control, the tempo of life that we experience can be reduced, and we can regain time for ourselves and others."

"On the phenomenal level, consciousness — and the self-consciousness deriving from it — is distinguished by spatial and temporal presence. Consciousness is tied to corporeality and temporality: I experience myself as existing with a body over time."

and of course, of course:

"Thus, impulsive people display greater temporal myopia."

and citing Henry Miller:

"On how one orients himself to the moment, depends the failure or fruitfulness of it.”

This article reminds me very much of Israel Rosenfield: 

"The Stránge , Familiar and Forgotten; An Anatomy of Consciousness".

i read the book several times...
quote:
"My memory emerges from the relation between my body (more specifically, my bodily sensation at a given moment) and my brain’s “image” of my body (an unconscious activity in which the brain creates a constantly changing generalized idea of the body by relating the changes in bodily sensations from moment to moment.) It is this relation that creates a sense of self; over time, my body’s relation to its surroundings becomes even more complex, and, with it, the nature of myself and of my memories of it deepen and widen, too. "

And the article on Felt Time shows me that i just am no good at any emotional intelligence.

i am more impulsive than patient. Though i THOUGHT i had never been 

so patient for so long. i loathe waiting, i hate being in a state like  a bird which 

gets disorientated in a room flying against windows and getting stuck in curtains.

It is painful to hit one's head and not see it coming...
