It argues that during deep meditation, individuals experience "pure duration" without a clear sense of time passing. This understanding helps explain why meditation feels ongoing yet timeless to practitioners. - URL: https://academic.oup.com/pq/advance-article/doi/10.1093/pq/pqae081/7718358?login=true ## LLM Chats ## NotebookLM ## LLM Audio ## Highlights > I shall argue that during (deepest) meditation, the subject experiences ‘pure duration’ without temporal structure. This, I argue, explains best why meditators describe deep meditation as ongoing but timeless awareness. A central part of the paper will expand on an account of phenomenal duration without phenomenal succession.
