One could argue that 'thinking' is in and of itself linear and so there is no other way to view time. I suspect they are partners, wholly dependent on one another and so the only way to remove the linear aspect from the equation is to remove thinking.
As a belief (an entrenched thought) we can subject ourselves to whatever mechanisms we like I suppose, but as soon as thinking invades, the linear nature is evident.
Consciousness/awareness, alone may indeed not be linear; since we cannot think about awareness,(a matter of just being aware) in any sort of time format. But now we have the absence of time and thinking which still proves time as linear. This makes makes believing that time is anything but linear, an exercise in futility
