@Nahm I think I understand now what you mean with your question of "what time is relative to", it was at first kind of complicated to understand due to your lack of further explanation and sparse choice of words (no offense), but my answer to that question would be quite obviously the ego, i.e. the seperate sense of self. So I guess, the stronger the sense of a seperated self is, the more intense the experience of time becomes in terms of pure length. Is that sufficiently answering your question? Because I'm still not 100% sure if this was what you were getting at.

@Nahm In the sense that I'd be claiming to explain by definition how time works, or in what other way do you regard it as confusing?

@Nahm Yeah, sry if I portrayed it in some case as a "conceptual matter", obviously that's not the case, as direct consciousness reveals to us.

@Nahm Well, physics obviously tells us that time is relative to speed but I'm not really referring to this relation that's being made by physics... what I mean is the subjective experience of time, so for example one person experiences the exact same interval of time (let's say 5min) completely different to another person. When Sadhguru became enlightened, he claims to have experienced multiple occasions on which for him 10+ hours, or even days merely felt like half an hour or so, so I'm curious why this subjective time-experience is occuring at some points. I'm sure we have all experienced this for ourselves at times when "time literally flew by" and on the other hand when "time dragged itself out endlessly". My assumption is that when Sadhguru spoke about those incidents, what happened was that he totally aligned with Absolute Infinity or Pure Consciousness so that during this period, the amount of possibilities became less, so that time literlally flew by extremely fast, contrary to when there is no alignment with it that there exist more options, thus time is experienced "longer" or more "dragged-out". Furthermore, I'm currently contemplating about what this continuous "present moment" actually is and how it can be that we even have this time-continuum, so that reality simply upholds itself from one "moment" to the next, you see? I mean, deep down I already know of the illusory nature of reality and about the truth of non-duality and so forth, this is why I mentioned that I don't take all of this very seriously. I'm actually just having entertaining thought-experiences here, but it's still quite fascinating to me just how our circular "time" is playing out. See, that's the thing, of course time (or our universes' evolutionary-process, however you want to call it) is circular, so the beginning is equal to it's end and whatnot, but it just still "blows my mind" (ha-ha) how the present moment upholds itself and comes into existence, you know? That's why I was connecting absolute infinity and the J.A. Wheeler quote, because he is saying that "time is what's responsible for the happening of everything" and I was thinking to myself "Couldn't it be the other way around, so that the absolute infinite happening is what's causing "time".

@Dodo Exactly! You got what I was referring to in your last paragraph, that's what I meant.

@jse Thanks for the reply, mate. I actually already know that time is, on some level, an illsuion just as everything else is, therefore i was not referring to the illusory nature of time but much rather I was curious about the particular relativity of time and why exactly it is so relative to everybody on an individual basis - the felt experience of time, so to say.
