Mystics have a relatively common motif of viewing your "world", and this includes time, as small, as "a world in a grain of sand", or feeling it being pulled out from you like a thin string, or as a drop of water. Sometimes this is also felt as a sensation of falling into, and or being pulled out of the world, often simultaneously, for example Hemmingway described his soul as being pulled out of his body like a handkerchief out of a pocket in his NDE. Look for NDE accounts that attempt to describe the relation of this to the aspect "360 degree vision" or "hyperdimensional" perspective. Compare to the phenomenological similarities in derealization, schizophrenia, Cotards syndrome, and solipsism. Steiner is good and very consistent with NDE reports, especially the inversion of awareness and life review.
