Reality that is not a Continuity

Is life a continuance from one conscious moment to another? Is there a gap or space between what is and our consciousness of its existence? One lives a life of definition of knowing. One gives meaning to objects and events that are the result of our relationship with cause and effect.
We narrow existence to fit within the frame work of our experience. That experience becomes our reality. It is our security, which is the outcome of its predictability. When one experiences one is looking for continuity. We want to be able to predict events and feel a sense of security in there outcome. We make plans and expect results based on our experience. But life seldom conforms to our desires, beliefs and expectations. We are constantly modifying our perception of reality. This process is the projection of the reality of the known which is the self. The self which is conditioned to react according to its experience.

The self, the one who thinks is consciousness that is conditioned by the experience of cause and effect. The self is that which is almost totally reactive. Every action of the self is born of another action. It is because the self is seeking continuity in reality. That continuity gives one a sense of permanency and predictability (the known). But life is neither permanent nor predictable, there is only change, only the new and never before. The conflict we experience is our refusal to accept what is and to seek (psychologically) what should be which is the projection of what was.

The self is the result of thoughts movement through time/space. The one who is the outcome of past, present and future. The self then, 'is' that continuity, it is the illusion of definitive reality. It is reality that exist only as a continuity of thought. When one is totally aware of this movement then it is possible to live in the moment without the conflict and violence of the self which is seeking the known.

The dissipation of the self is the realization of the unknown and acceptance of what is. What is, is the truth of the reality of the moment. The reality of the moment is not a continuity it is the moment to moment realization of the true self and the awakening of intelligence that is the result of freedom.
