The aim of this paper is to present a concrete experimental method for the study of time perception at the individual level. On the basis of exploratory discussion of analytical viewpoints and those hypotheses which the present author has ever proposed, three psychoanalytical models showed by Bin Kimura : ante festum consciousness, intra festum consciousness and post festum consciousness and myth and eschatological thought are discussed in terms of externalization or verbal expressions. The present author deals with time perception at the individual level only in this paper. Consequently the focus is strictly limited to the study of representation of the past and the presentation of a concrete experimental method for the study of time perception at the individual level. For further analysis of time perception at the individual level, it is a must to inquire more deeply into what Bin Kimura call intra festum consciousness, or 'an eternal life in this world・the everlasting re=presentation of present.' And the analysis of time perception at the collective level is to be presented in another paper.
