I believe this is true. Put another way, time is the rate of change as we perceive it. When time is moving faster, change is simply happening at a faster pace. More energy leads to a decrease in the rate of change, according to the theory of relativity. Once you reach the speed of light, you are outside of time.
Which leads to some interesting questions, such as, is the speed of light simply a boundary we can't "see" past? What exactly is doing the perceiving of the time (conciousness), and is it possible to raise and lower energy levels to slow down and speed up time? Anecdotally I think there's a case for it, but since we can't even really define conciousness or time it's not something you can do with hard science yet.
