Hi Russell Standish My experience of meditation or even sleeping is that as you go into that state, in which consciousness diminishes, (subjective) time passes faster and faster, until at the "deepest" level, time passes instantly.
Instant passage of time might be construed by some to be atemporal.

Discrete time, such as that reported by LM above is still a valid timescale.
