Mind frame rate vs craving

Upvote:2

Yes, that is precisely what happens. What you’ll begin to notice probably more so than the “frame” experience is that consciousness is only capable of holding one sense object at a time. You will experience a moment of mind consciousness, eye consciousness, etc, but you’ll notice that each instance is discreet. You never perceive eye and ear conscious at the same time, for example.

Another thing you may experience is the appearance of space between moments of consciousness. This is extremely important for it is in these moments of cessation (yes, we’re talking nirodha here - this is different than the meditative state, however) where the potential for deeply liberating insight can occur.
