then halve it again, and again, and again, and literally never stop halving.

There is absolutely no end to it's lessening capacity. It brings up the

question as to whether 'reality' actually exists. It seems to get lost in the

infinate. As long as there is a time-span left within the present moment,

however tiny, the halving is not complete, it can be halved again. But at the

same time (pardon the pun), however much we halve and however small 'reality'

gets, it is always there, however infintesimal, it never actually vanishes. It

seems as illusory as it is real and as real as it is >illusory.

Pete,

 

In isolation, yes, these events would not exist for us. But these events do not

occur in isolation, so they do appear to exists for us, as we blend these

multi-trillion zillions of so called events into a stream of perception that we

make sense of. The event does not start and then stop, it is happening all the

time. A blur of what is not or what was, with what is or what might be. And

the problem in this whole equation is time. Take out time and the confusion

ends (or becomes to large to comprehend).
