'Time' seems to stop because in order to appreciate that perception there must be some level of non-duality present. Duality is typically engendered from judgement, so that is suspended as well (at least as a primary faculty of experience). My theory is that interiorities suddenly 'invert' and that previously personal interior/subjective landscape is shared (transpersonally) as if mind itself was shared (it always was but now there is consciousness present).
perhaps they would manifest some experience with that monetary energy and intent desire for connection? I don't know. With the New Age/New Thought movement's progression, I feel cautious about any retreat promising outcome for exorbitant fees.
Andrew Cohen is studying this and believes it's part of the 'next step':
