Interesting post DarkChylde.

I read in a book (can't recall which one unfortunately) that people who lingered on the earthly plane after death felt like the time that passed for them was like a couple of months...but when they were 'rescued' to move on, it appeared they had been there for much longer (like a couple of years). A kind of time distortion thing. Maybe a disembodied consciousness just doesn't notice time passing in the same way as we do living in a meat suit.

Another thing ocurred to me from my reading. Linear time flow may be an illusion as it's often said - in that it actually isn't linear - but perhaps in this realm of existence it is linear to a certain degree. I've read that each realm is designed to have it's own camouflage system - a set of rules upon which it is based. So maybe, although from a grander perspective you can flit about from time point to time point (or perhaps see all at once), the nature of time in this realm just tends to flow 'forward'.
