This stage is most like a beautiful daydream. The glory of old age and recollection. The last of the great days. 00:00:00 - A1 - It’s just a burning memory 00:03:32 - A2 - We don’t have many days 00:07:02 - A3 - Late afternoon drifting 00:10:38 - A4 - Childishly fresh eyes 00:13:36 - A5 - Slightly bewildered 00:15:38 - A6 - Things that are beautiful and transient 00:20:12 - B1 - All that follows is true 00:23:44 - B2 - An autumnal equinox 00:26:31 - B3 - Quiet internal rebellions 00:30:02 - B4 - The loves of my entire life 00:34:06 - B5 - Into each others eyes 00:38:42 - B6 - My heart will stop in joy STAGE 2 : 00:41:22 The second stage is the self realisation and awareness that something is wrong with a refusal to accept that. More effort is made to remember so memories can be more long form with a little more deterioration in quality. The overall personal mood is generally lower than the first stage and at a point before confusion starts setting in. 00:41:22 - C1 - A losing battle is raging 00:46:01 - C2 - Misplaced in time 00:50:44 - C3 - What does it matter how my heart breaks 00:53:22 - C4 - Glimpses of hope in trying times 00:58:06 - C5 - Surrendering to despair 01:03:09 - D1 - I still feel as though I am me 01:07:17 - D2 - Quiet dusk coming early 01:10:54 - D3 - Last moments of pure recall 01:14:47 - D4 - Denial unravelling 01:19:02 - D5 - The way ahead feels lonely STAGE 3 : 01:23:17 Here we are presented with some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists form and fade away. Finest moments have been remembered, the musical flow in places is more confused and tangled. As we progress some singular memories become more disturbed, isolated, broken and distant. These are the last embers of awareness before we enter the post awareness stages. 01:23:17 - E1 - Back there Benjamin 01:27:33 - E2 - And heart breaks 01:31:38 - E3 - Hidden sea buried deep 01:32:59 - E4 - Libet’s all joyful camaraderie 01:36:12 - E5 - To the minimal great hidden 01:37:53 - E6 - Sublime beyond loss 01:40:03 - E7 - Bewildered in other eyes 01:41:55 - E8 - Long term dusk glimpses 01:45:29 - F1 - Gradations of arms length 01:47:00 - F2 - Drifting time misplaced 01:51:16 - F3 - Internal bewildered World 01:54:45 - F4 - Burning despair does ache 01:57:22 - F5 - Aching cavern without lucidity 01:58:41 - F6 - An empty bliss beyond this World 02:02:19 - F7 - Libet delay 02:06:15 - F8 - Mournful cameraderie STAGE 4 : 02:08:53 Post-Awareness Stage 4 is where serenity and the ability to recall singular memories gives way to confusions and horror. It’s the beginning of an eventual process where all memories begin to become more fluid through entanglements, repetition and rupture. 02:08:53 - G1 - Stage 4 Post Awareness Confusions 02:31:02 - H1 - Stage 4 Post Awareness Confusions 02:52:55 - I1 - Stage 4 Temporary Bliss State 03:13:58 - J1 - Stage 4 Post Awareness Confusions STAGE 5 : 03:36:12 Post-Awareness Stage 5 confusions and horror. More extreme entanglements, repetition and rupture can give way to calmer moments. The unfamiliar may sound and feel familiar. Time is often spent only in the moment leading to isolation. 03:36:12 - K1 - Stage 5 Advanced plaque entanglements 03:58:49 - L1 - Stage 5 Advanced plaque entanglements 04:21:37 - M1 - Stage 5 Synapse retrogenesis 04:42:25 - N1 - Stage 5 Sudden time regression into isolation STAGE 6 : 05:04:32 Post-Awareness Stage 6 is without description. 05:04:32 - O1 - Stage 6 A confusion so thick you forget forgetting 05:26:25 - P1 - Stage 6 A brutal bliss beyond this empty defeat 05:48:02 - Q1 - Stage 6 Long decline is over 06:09:12 - R1 - Stage 6 Place in the World fades away
