Lind did not know how much time passed or if it was passing at all. There was no external reference for him to measure it at all. He tried seeing if the streams of energy had a pattern but they were chaotic. There was no steady pulse to get an accurate flow of time.
It bothered him how little attachment time had to the current trial. He felt like it was passing but he could not regulate his awareness for some reason.
He tried to time his heartbeat but it was like he lost track of it without sensing any interference. It confused him.
It was not like in the Forest of the Now. He was not experiencing all variations of the present like before.
The lack of interaction was starting to grate on his nerves. He had cultivated for years on end without issue but the streams of energy and the blackness left him feeling irritated.
He tried using the Laws of Time he had comprehended but nothing reacted. In fact no Laws at all did a damn thing. His pseudo-Dao also failed. His harmony failed.
