Is it possible to live without continuity? What gives continuity is thought. If I think about something, it has continuity. If I look at a picture of my wife every day, I give a continuity. Is it possible to live in this world without giving continuity to every action and so come upon every action afresh? That is, die to each action so that the mind is never contaminated, has never accumulated and therefore is free every day anew, fresh, innocent. We say it is possible, but that doesn’t mean it is real for you. We say it is possible that one can live that way, but you have to find it out.
