I am seeking either philosophical or scientific answers... not the religious ones.

all i know is that when i HAVE to be with people i absolutely loathe...time stands still...
when i am with a smoking hot chick and doing everything i legally can...time flies...
thus, what i comprehend that time is only free from the time dimension when we are vegging out and truly not caring about the situation we are in...sort of like watching wheel of fortune, the view or the weather channel...

Not inherently. I think our minds have been taught to exist in the confines of time but, as with anything, it's possible to unlearn. I have been working on it myself for some months now. It's very liberating. The past and future are merely shadows of the present. One shadow stretches behind, the other stretches before you. But there is no substance to shadow, there is no point in troubling yourself with shadows.
Time is the measurement of one thing becoming another. The interval between a thing being one way and then another is time. This is fine for the physical world. But psychologically we have no need for time. Thoughts jump instantaneously from one to another. Epic dreams can run their course in a matter of seconds. Our minds already know timelessness.
One way I like to use the concept of timelessness practically is when I mess up. Most of my life I have repeatedly berated myself for having made some stupid mistake, but now I just think "That was THAT moment, not THIS moment. That moment doesn't even exist anymore. Why dwell on it? Every moment is a new moment." And then I feel better.

Religion aside I do believe there are mysteries of the universe that you can't begin to comprehend. Our laws of graviety and other science might be non applicable in other universes.
We are already told that we don't begin to use the real capacity of our brains.

I have problems with time i.e. I run late. To me time is nothing but a control. Timelessness is existence without limits.

Timelessness is *eternity|*
-----------------------------------
It is something of a mystical intuition where one is present to all times at once in an unchanging "now|"
It is one of the greatest mystical experiences that one can have|
God Himself lives in eternity, as He never changes and always IS, as He is equally present to past, present, and future| As He sees you right now, you are also being born *right now* to Him and the time of your death is also *right now* to Him|
