I say again that the problem is that his "time" is not your "time" or Bill's "time". In the world of the psyche, all time is a function of attention, and it passes as quickly as actions taken in the attention are completed. As anyone knows who daydreams, this means that an hour of "real" time can pass while a single quick action (such as reorganizing the Western hemisphere) is accomplished in personal time. Thus these assertions about how long one will be about something are relatively meaningless to those still strong-minded enough not to be bamboozled into the hypnotic common agreement of so-called "real" time. The truth is, for such people, that subjective time is ten times as real as anything going on in mutual-time, which is the source of the problem.
