The idea of time

One interesting topic brought up in The Power of Now is the idea of psychological time vs physical time. Physical time is used to explain causality of physical events in our natural world, but there is also a psychological time that we use as our own interpretation of the causality of events.

The book addresses that psychological time is an illusion, and that is very much true, but isn't physical time an illusion as well?

It is not completely invalid to conclude that the idea of an occurence or happening is in itself an illusion. What is an occurence?
