You don't experience
physical time when you are dead, but you *DO* experience
subjective time. Most people don't realize this, but there is an ethereal cycle and a physical cycle and they must be balanced.
The amount of "subjective time" you experience on Earth, is balanced by a equal amount of subjective time in the spirit world. In other words, the amount of experience gained is equal in both scenarios. But that is NOT to be confused with physical time. For example, the second someone dies in this frame their ENTIRE ethereal cycle of experience could be completed instantaneously from OUR perspective, but from their perspective, it was equal to the time they spent on Earth or relatively close.
Also, contemplate what "time" is. Isn't it really just a factor of "change"? If there were no change, how would you measure time?
So the point is, you don't stop changing when you die, so there is still a perception of time. Only when you reach a state of consciousness where there is no longer any change (the absolute), will time cease to exist as an experiential mechanism.
