movement of time.
Just think of two trains, moving into empty space, together, with the same speed. Whenever you look out of the window at the other train -- which has the same window and the same number of compartments -- you will not experience that you are moving. Neither will the passengers in the other train experience that they are moving.
You experience movement because, when your train is moving, the trees are standing, the houses are standing, they are not moving. Stations come and platforms come and pass. It is because on both sides things are static, that against them, in relativity, you can feel your train moving.
Sometimes you may have experienced a very bizarre thing: your train is standing on the platform, and another train is standing by the side. Your train starts moving; you are looking at the other train, and it seems as if it has started moving; unless you look towards the platform, which is standing still. Movement is a relative experience.
When mind is not having any thoughts, you are in an empty sky; time stops because you cannot judge time without movement -- you are not there, mind is not there, time is not there... only a tremendous peace and a great relaxation.
My own understanding is that it was the sexual orgasm that gave the first idea to people about meditation, because a few geniuses must have tried: "If we can stop thoughts, if we can drop the ego and if the mind is not there, time disappears; then there is no need for any sexual orgasm." You can have the same orgasmic experience alone and it is no more sexual -- it becomes a spiritual experience.
Sexual orgasm must have given the first idea that the same experience is possible without sex; otherwise, there is no way how man could have found meditation. Meditation is not a natural phenomenon. Sexual orgasm is a natural phenomenon but all societies prevent their children from experiencing it. Nobody says anything about it. This is a strategy, a very dangerous strategy, a criminal act against the whole of humanity, because the children who are deprived of having sexual orgasm, will never be able to feel the urge for meditation; or their urge
