TL;DR. Time speeds up with age because habit, craving, and "selfing" compress experience — meditation (and LSD) loosen that compression and slow time back down.
Takeaways
- The "each year is a smaller % of your life" explanation misses the real mechanism: mental conditionings you can't feel until trained to.
- LSD is the proof point — drop the conditionings temporarily and time slows, vividness returns, the world feels childlike again.
- Long-term meditators consistently report ~2-3x slower subjective time; the author confirms books delivered on this longevity-of-experience promise.
