The Screen That Lies Behind the Movie

Thursday 23 April 2026

Is Experience Continuous or Made of Discrete Moments?

"Does life consist of continuous moments or discrete, separate moments of experience? Rupert says: ‘When you’re watching a film, there are numerous discrete frames . . . but we don’t experience a movie as numerous discrete, still shots. The movie has a continuity to it . . . Where does the oneness of the movie come from? It’s the screen. It’s the screen that is the continuous element in the always changing images . . . It’s exactly the same with our experience . . . What is the continuous element in all experience? It is consciousness. Consciousness is the screen, the ever present screen, on which the intermittent experiences come and go.’"
