I recently had the weirdest and most outlook changing experience I've ever had thus far. Not in terms of scenery, but in terms of perception. Earlier in the night I had an experience of being semi-conciouss in complete darkness and not knowing "who I was". Only I didn't realize I didn't know who I was, until I "came out". I remember opening my eyes and it taking me a couple seconds to gather where I was, who I was, and who was this person next to me (my wife). It was a very strange experience.
After that I laid on my right side and closed my eyes again at about 5am. I went into kind of a weightless space for what seemed like 2 or 3 minutes. But when I opened my eyes and looked at the clock 2 hours had passed. It was 7am. I could not believe it. I sat up and took a second look at the clock, thinking I might not being seeing this right. I had woke my wife up when I had the first experience, so I asked her what time that had been (just to make sure I had the time right the first time) and she told me "it was around 4 something". In that instant I had the thought that...Time is nothing more than a name we give to unending change. And change is always happening Now. There is but a single moment in which everything unfolds, giving the rise to the illusion of this Linear "thing". But it is not Real lol.
Timeless state
