Do u 'feel' that psychological time is a fiction & an impediment to a meditative state?

I know that when I'm in a true involuted state time becomes irrelevant. I remember losing 2 hours from the time I closed my eyes to the time I opened them, I thought only 1/2 an hour had passed and was gobsmacked to realise it was much much longer. One way of looking at time is to see we take note of it when we need or want it to pass! Thoughts are the baine of meditation and if we are thinking about time passing then likely there will be agitation mixed in the pot.

Thanks Tetchie, truly nice way of putting it. thoughts-as-the-mind is psycho-time, causing agitation, as u hav very rightly pointed out. & thanks 4 letting us know abt ur blissful union with the 'self' , 'truth', call 'it' wat u will. bye.

Time being manipulated as it is between seasons and calendars, the true meditative state can not be influenced by it since I believe it really does not exist, except in the construct of the human being.
