I will give you one dramatic example. Many years ago when I was riding a motorcycle, I had a car pull out into my lane. In the fraction of a second that I had to respond, I could spend five minutes describing what went through my mind and how I responded. In the remaining few seconds of the situation, I could speak half a day about what happened. I'm alive to talk about it.
Many lesser experiences give opportunities to investigate the mind's potential.
