I can echo what you said about having no concept of time and contentment.
For me, I try and try to recall the years I had my MLC and draw a blank. It frustrates me hugely because I have a very good memory. Something about MLCer and Swiss Cheese. I'd love to know the science behind all of this.
As for contentment, I am much more mellow and relaxed now than during my frantic, desperate MLC years. That's for sure! I believe that deep contentment will happen with me in short order and I'm looking forward to it.
