how can somone experience time being stopped

it seems to slow quite a lot on a hefty dose, but that doesn't actually make it close to stopping.
 
Your thinking of time in the sense that only you control time. The problem is that we all experience time, I think what you should be more concerned on is the passage of time via one's own perspective. Perspective is far more flexible than time, perspective is the thing that makes everything more flexible.

We live for about 70 years. While the light from the stars in our sky has spent a period of time we can't fathom getting to our eyes. Fruit flies get 30 days.

Time never stops, but our perceptions of it can drastically change how we experience it. A beautiful moment that passes too quickly or a dull day at work that never seems to end.

You brain can turn minutes into an eternity you can't fathom.

I agree with this, as I have had a few experiences where my perception of the flow of time was altered so drastically that it was impossible to ignore. In one situation, time appeared to be moving so slowly that everything seemed to be still, except I could make out almost imperceptible movement in the legs of my friends who were walking around, and every ten seconds or so I would hear one of the hi-hats in the psytrance music we had playing in the room (which was super-high BPM, another indicator of the speed at which I was experiencing the moment).

I wonder whether I could have walked around at seemingly super high speeds (I was performing a certain function with my hands that was keeping the time 'at that speed' and therefore really didn't consider moving around the room as well). I also wonder how it could be that my friends who were hanging out in the room could have experienced time 'normally' in that moment. It seems that things really can be that subjective.
 
I once smoked salvia and experienced a complete stop of time. I saw time slow down like the pages of a flip book or a cartoon slowing down until I was frozen in one frame. I then fell backwards out of time and space, and could see the pages of the flip book lined up like dominoes into infinity. It was pretty fuckn wild.

Yep! I've had that SAME, EXACT, TRIP! no joke. I believe a lot of people have it actually. 8(
 
but if time truly stopped, how are you back? i understand time is a perception and can be sped up or slowed down to extreme points but if it actually stopped and perception of it was lost how can you come back? it would be a neverending moment

I know what you mean by this, but would it have to be that way? Couldn't it last forever until it didn't last forever anymore?
 
If time stopped, then how were you able to realize that time had stopped? Like we associate time with movement, movement of neurotransmitters caused by saliva consumption and whatnot..if time stopped, you wouldn't be aware of it..unless we're talking about a change of a certain conception that made it seem that "time stopped".
 
Well or it happens so much in a very extreme short time, like experiencing some weeks in two hours, that you think it is impossible so your time sense gets destroyed and you think time stopped. Time doesn't matter on psychedelics anyway.
 
DMT can mess with perception of time so bad you cant even comprehend time, let alone notice its stopped
 
just here to share some:

Once on mushrooms about 8 years ago or so, by a lake, I experienced moments (perceivable seconds, up to three seconds or so at a time) where the outside world would freeze, and I would still be in thought. I never considered the possibility that my visual processes simply "froze" or disengaged with the last processed image as "memory".. no.. no.. I didn't consider it because after "time" would stop it's freeze it would simply continue on at normal pace, as measured by the movement of clouds.. what was "normal" then. But in those frozen moments, I was able to perceive it as being "frozen". (it may have played catch up though)

I was trying to catch the "moonlight" in my mouth.. or the energy there. I perceived it as being special. I was standing in some grass by a beach, by a lake. Clouds were passing, and this was where I found the effect, as I was standing there, agape head up in the direction of the moon. My reasoning for this posture was in response to some severe facial pain I had been experiencing that I thought was due to a jaw disorder at the time, but later found it had it's roots in food allergies. I was just ... taking a swing. "Heal me, moon.", "Heal me... God.".

The next day I felt almost healed. I felt back to normal. What it could have been... maybe I hadn't consumed the offending food in long enough time, due to my time away from home, tripping. I'm not sure why I felt so much better that next day- to the point of feeling "normal" for the first time in a long-long time, at that time.

That night before, tripping, I was also "kissed" by a... feminine "God", in a vision.
