How long does the present moment now last for in time?

@GreenWoods If the screenshots are moving fast enough there doesn't seem to be screenshots but a movie. What if the screenshots in this case are thought moving so quickly that it seems to be an object in motion?

If screenshots are not perceived, then there aren't any. Reality is what it is. No behind the scenes. "screenshots" are fantasy.

Thoughts appearing to be an object in motion? I'm not sure I get what you mean.

I'd like to jump in on this one if I may. Because I can relate to what you're describing there.

Oh man. The depths to which you can go with that. It nearly drove me crazy haha!

It is possible to perceive reality as an infinite amount of screenshots passing through awareness - not quite but almost at the speed of Light. Almost; because only Light itself is travelling at the speed of Light (consciousness). So its always one step ahead - so to speak. One tiny little, micro-nano-mili-whatever second behind. If you look reaaaally closely; you will find that your perception of reality is always lagging - a tiniest little bit. Meaning; you are not perceiving reality in real time.

All that being said (and there's much, much more) - this too collapses at some point. Because it is a duality. It requires an observer that observes reality. That takes the snapshots - if you will. That perceives. Once perception dissolves into Beingness; there is no more lag. No more billions of snapshots flashing in your face. Only pure, whole and one isness. 

Unity.

There is no object without a thought. It creates objects from "parts" of seeing. Without thought it's just one "field" of awareness.
