No problemos. 
Do I need to point out that Revelation is an apocalypse and that John would necessarily speak in his and our terms regarding time ā because he could hardly do otherwise? Itās a good verse, but I donāt see that it proves anything one way or another. It isnāt the bible that sways me toward timelessness (or at any rate, symmetrical ātime.ā) The bible doesnāt address the topic at all that I can see.
Itās the quantum physicists who have me leaning toward timelessness. Certainly they could be wrong, and I wouldnāt be dogmatic about it, but they make a very compelling case and Iām inclined to suspect they may be on to something.
Tell me about it.
Does Einsteinās Theories of Relativity convince you, since time supposedly slows down as one approaches the speed of light?
It may well be that Relativity is not about an absolute speed of light, and a variation in time, but absolute time, and a variation in the speed of light.
Some physicists hold to that position. Thatās where I got the idea.
No, itās not so much about the speed of light ā thatās only part of it. Yes, if time slows as we approach the speed of light and if itās different for the observer than it is for the observed, that gives it certain morph-ability, makes it less of a thing in my view. Presumably my computer is the same whether Iām holding it or youāre holding it. We may perceive it differently, but objectively itās the same structure, shape, etc. (If thereās such a thing as objectivity for anyone but God.)
We see heavenly things in the present that happened bazillions of years ago ā stars that exploded, light that shone at a certain strength, quasars spewing out gasses birthing new stars. If youāre standing at one point moving away from a distant system time moves slower relative to it, while if you walk toward it, time moves faster relative to it. You can approach and approach a black hole, but you can never arrive ā never fall into it ā because time will stop still before you ever get there. If you look at a distant galaxy from one pov (if you could attain it and your eyes were so powerful (as are Godās)) you will see its past. If you choose another pov, you will see its future. All the maths say there is no reason for time to travel in a certain direction and that direction only. By all accounts, time only seems real to us because that is the way we were designed to perceive it. If these things are true, and they appear to be so, then time is so malleable I cannot feel any certainty that it is a real thing.
Iām not saying this is absolute truth and that peopleās understanding of these things wonāt change, but looking at it today, it seems most likely to be true. This world is more like a thought than anything else. This is the theater where we learn to be real ā where we are formed into His image.
I canāt be adamant about these things; Iām not a scientist or a mathematician, so I can only listen to what they say and judge whether I find it believable. Lucky for us weāre not judged on getting these things right or wrong, so I donāt worry too much about it. This is my opinion at present ā itās what seems true to me. If Godās concerned then He knows how to get to me. Itās not a problem. 
There are many traditions that teach that folks are conscious and alive after death. They are the Eastern Orthodox, the indigenous tribal teachings (i.e. Lakota) and the Tibetans.
And for a Christian (i.e. Roman Catholic and Lakota) view of spirits, I recommend the book The Pipe and Christ: A Christian-Sioux Dialogue by William Stolzman, who is a Roman Catholic priest and Lakota tribal member. He mentions spirits of heaven, hell and the earth.
Then thereās the experiences of Tiffany Snow, who had a near death experience. She became a contemporary Christian healer and stigmatist (i.e. in the Old Catholic Church tradition). Here is her perspective on what happens three weeks after death at After Death
Hereās a Russian Orthodox tradition on what happens 40 days after death at Russian Orthodox. I do remember a Greek Orthodox priest sharing a story in a grief group. Itās how his mother appeared in the back seat of his car and he was saved from a bad traffic acident. This was after she died.
I do remember asking an Eastern holy person about spirits. He said that spirits were all around.
Personally, I do know what the Christian theologians say - historical and contemporary. But I prefer what the indigenous tribal (i.e. Lakota, Ute, etc.), Tibetans, Eastern Orthodox, etc., say about spirits of the earth.

No, A is not my position. There are many, many matters which I donāt understand and which I do not declare to be wrong. Your A and B are not collectively exhaustive. It is true that I donāt understand the concept of timelessness. For there is nothing to understand. I think I am capable of IMAGINING timelessness just as well as anyone else. I can also imagine that the phoenix bird exists. Clement of Rome (30-100 A.D.) described it like this:
Hi Paidion
I have given some consideration to your view of ātimelessnessā and time (being the measurement of temporal distance between two events), not just recently, but since I first read your view many months ago. I should state that I have some sympathy for your position although I presently prefer (I think that word may be the most honest) to believe ātimelessnessā. I should state that although this is probably a preference, it does also seem to make the most sense to me and seems to agree with some scripture.
Anyway, if I compare your āmeasurement of temporal distance between two eventsā with how we measure physical distance between two objects, I note that, the distance can change to an infinite no. of possibilities by employing a different perspective in the third dimension. Doesnāt that actually support the alternative view given on this forum ie one where linear laws of time do not exist and where events separated by any no. of years in this earthly realm/dimension can be simultaneous in the heavenly realm/dimension? Or am I mistaken in some way?
Reminds me of Clive Staples Lewis in his Narnian Chronicles in which the children spent many years in Narnia, and grew up into adult kings and queens, only to tumble back out of the wardrobe into England again as children where but a few minutes had passed.
Basically how does the āexistenceā or ānon-existenceā of timelessness relate to the intermediate state?
If we die and remain dead until the resurrection, for us personally, we will immediately be in the presence of God, even if a thousand years have passed on earth before the resurrection occurs. For we will have no consciousness of the intermediate time.
It was like that with my first surgery. I was watching the clock and saw that it was 1:00. Then I took a second glance at it and it was 3:00. Two hours had passed during which surgery was performed, but for me the clock went immediately from showing 1:00 to 3:00. I was totally unaware of the surgery. For me that two hours with its events were missing. My thought is that thatās how it will be in the resurrection. It will seem to us that we have gone immediately from death to the resurrection.
So for us personally, it makes no difference whether we go immediately after death to be with the Lord, or if we are raised a thousand years later to come into His presence.
Mans indestructible soul/spirit that survives death and remains conscious all the while feeling either pain or joy, cannot resist anaesthetic 
A simple man made formula can achieve what death canāt [ie] Renders you unconscious, so you are unaware of time / your surroundings/pain or joy. Go figure
