I suspect, but I'm not sure that this is what some martial arts training is about, including Daoist internal alchemy, which is a core to martial arts like Shaoling Kung Fu and Tai Chi. https://www.goldenelixir.com We often hear about them slowing down time or returning to original essence, original being. Perhaps this is a state before discrimination, a state before abstraction, before our natural filtering process, when all forms become a single ocean of being. Being able to act from such a form might undo a lot of biases in seeing and acting in the world, providing new avenues for expression. From the write-up above on Arrival: "In short, they are there to gift humanity their language, which — when learnt completely — allows a person to view time in full simultaneity, recalling (or precalling) their future as if it were a memory." 5/5
