perceptions of time (Score 1)

I wonder, with this newfound ability to stop time, so to speak, what non-physical part of us will continue to propagate through the same medium of moments. Is there a way to use this technique to enable and examine parts of the consciousness that exist only in states of coma, near-death, etc? If nothing is found, I wonder if the body in this state becomes a shell of pure potential, in a state vunerable to abuse or reconfiguring or even mental replacement.
