So, can one observe life as a total movement,
non-fragmented, but holistic,
flowing continuously,
continuously not in the sense of time.
When one uses the word continuous,
it implies time.
But there is a continuity which is not of time.
I am going to go into that a little bit.
Are you as excited about it as I am? I'm getting into it.
When one talks about continuity,
it is of time, because:
a thing that has been and that will be.
The relationship is between the past and the future as a continuity,
without breaking up.
That's what we generally understand by the word continuity,
which is of time.
Time is movement,
from here to there.
Time implies distance,
to be covered through days, or months, or years,
or as an idea to be achieved.
All that implies a movement.
Time implies thought, of course,
so thought is movement in time,
or thought is the movement of time.
Therefore it is a movement of measure.
This is reason, sane.
Is there a continuity,
if we can use that word which isn't perhaps quite right,
but we'll use it for the moment,
is there a continuity which is not a series of incidents
related to the past
and therefore the cause becomes the effect,
and the effect becomes the cause, which is continuity.
We're asking is there a state of being
in which there is a coming to an end to everything.
I am discovering something, I want to talk about death.
You'll see in a minute.
We think life is a movement in time,
to be measured,
and this movement ends with death.
That is what we call continuity.
There is, as one observes,
a movement which is not of time,
which is not a remembrance of something,
going through the present, modified and continues.
There is a state of mind
which is dying to everything that is happening,
coming in and flowing out.
Not retaining, flowing out.
There is never any retention but always flowing out.
That has its own sense of beauty,
and if I may use the word in quotes, 'continuity',
which is not of time.
