SDT - slow down time

When I think of slow down time I gravitate toward a mental picture of "Neo" dodging the bullets in slow time. A really revolutionary film discovery that actually makes the brain feel like the actor is "really slowing down time" to see, move and dodge faster and normally imperceptible things. This seems from the research to be a trait the humans have for "survival."

Stories abound about how during a crises the person involved experiences matrix-slow-down-time where fast seems incredibly slow allowing the mind to perceive, analyze and pull out actions to act. This is how the human actually tells time in all its variances.

I have experienced time distortions that sometimes have been detrimental to the scenario I was in at that moment while at other times the distortions were of great benefit in helping my mind to do what would result in my survival. Perceptions of Time.

SDT seems to be one of those things as I recently posted on that may be why we perceive masters as "masters." It occurs to me that this could be something a person might be able to develop and train. I recently read articles and research on "lucid dreaming" where the dreamer acknowledges the dream state and then actually begins to control the dream state. If this is possible then it goes to say that controlling Matrix SDT might be a trait a martial artists might develop.

Could we actually do this by controlling the monkey, the emotional roller coaster ride stress, fear and anger cause? Is the breathing techniques along with martial practice through the Zen model a way to train the mind where we might even trigger the Matrix SDT ability? I find these types of questions exciting and the possibilities of great wonder.

Is this what we perceive when we see a true master?
