Astral Time - a Definition

[Pauli2]

Time in the physical universe is defined as change. The time "one second" is defined as a specific amount of change.

But how do we define time for the astral/non-physical reality?

Let's start with the same definition as in the physical world.

We define Astral Time as change (in the astral reality).

But now problems start. How do we define a specific amount of time. How do we define an Astral Second (AS)?

Is there anything that changes at a specific rate in the astral or is everything fluctuating? Can we construct any measurement tool which can keep track of a specific amount of change?

the "astral" is the exact opposite of the mind state you're using to contemplate time.

you can't apply waking rationale to the abstract realm of intuition and imagination.

I don't think we can define time in the astral in an objective manner, which why it's so difficult.  I think (and I could be wrong, but that's what I think) that we'll always have to define nonphysical time in subjective terms- how things changed since we were 'there' last (if you have recurring scenarios, I do) or how long it seemed to take (how many tasks, how many places, etc.)  Or just how long it felt.

Or... if you're measuring "how long" something took in the astral compared to "how long it has been" in the physical... then you'll get a very widely ranging, random answers.
And even with that kind of comparison, you're not looking at the astral definition of "time".

Astral definition of time is weird. Even in dreams its strange.

I have no sense of times there anyways. When I become concious I sometimes just think, whoa k this one is lasting longer than others... but I never keep track of time.

Which brings me to a question:
Has anyone ever seen watches, clocks or anything which tracks time in the astral? And if you do, can you read them?
Just curious now because I realized I never ever came across one, in dreams or lucid dreams or anywhere actually.

Hey Mydral!

Good to see you again.

I believe, as many do, that time doesn't exist as an objective experience in the non-physical.

Assuming you 'see' a clock or watch... my thoughts are that you'll be seeing your physical-life subjective belief of what time is flowing on that time-piece.
Remember, nothing is really 'objective' in the non-physical.  You're putting things into a familiar context to make yourself accept what you're seeing.

That's my 2 cents, at least. 

[Stookie]

Go far enough and time won't exist at all. Then you don't have to ponder what it is anymore.

or

Time is like an infinitely changing fractal, always turning into something new, yet always being the same thing, and never able to repeat itself.

If you can understand it from within space/time, you don't get it.
