I'm sure this has happened to some people here. You know, when you're sitting around, or walking about, whatever, just minding your own buisness when you hear some random word or phrase that for some reason helps you understand some concept that you've had trouble wrapping your mind around?

I was sitting in my apartment one day watching Scooby Doo (special guest Don Knotts!) when a commercial came on with Mia Farrel (is that her name? The female U.S. soccer player who was famous for a while?), and she said "I would've hated being a woman in Victorian times" and something snapped and I understood the whole idea of time-not-being-linear-but-an-everpresent-"now". I had grasped the reasoning behind it, but all of a sudden I could see the idea in it's entirety. It felt weird.

What do you suppose causes this?

I think it's just that your brain gets round to processing a load of information that you've been thinking about unconsciously for a long time and then it just pops in to your head.

Mia Hamm, one of the best soccer players in the world and quite pretty ta boot.

The mind was ripe! Like apples that fall from a tree...The universe is the best guru, a guru's guru and always knows the right moment to expound it's mysteries.
