Mysteries of Bee-keeping Explained Different stages in the process of erosion can be distinguished and to some extent correlated with the time scale of the rocks in other regions. History and Comprehensive Description of Loudoun County, Virginia Hasheesh dreams, because they so often occur during some momentary lapse from normal consciousness and are therefore measurable by its time scale, are particularly rich in the evidence of the looping of time. Four-Dimensional Vistas Being at one?s best depends on the time scale it is judged on. PoPHILO When the geological record is thus obtained it may be used as a universal time scale for geological history. The Elements of Geology This well-known fact, that we cannot measure dreams by our time scale, proves that subjective time does not correspond with objective, and that the "dream organ" of consciousness has a time scale of its own. Four-Dimensional Vistas It is also best adapted for study, because it is connected directly with the usual time scale by its associated deposits.
