Temporal consciousness displacement was the displacement of one's consciousness into another period of time, resulting in experiencing the past or future.
In 2259, Science Officer Spock noted that Captain Christopher Pike returned from the Klingon moon of Boreth as a changed man. Boreth was notable for two things: a monastery (the Boreth Monastery), and a rare ore (which contained time crystals) that could cause temporal consciousness displacement. Both the monastery and ore bore the power of transformation, but it wasn't the monastery that changed Pike. Pike admitted that he saw the death of the man that he was in his present, he knew exactly how and when his life as it was would end in almost a decade (2266), and that he not only saw it but felt every agonizing second of it.
