".. Ultimately, the refinement in awareness leads to the perception that the self itself is something that is put together moment to moment through a series of very rapid images that seem to flicker by so quickly that there is the experience of a countinuous self, just as the rapid flickering of still pictures in a movie gives us the experience of continuous movement.
The goal is to pierce through that illusion, to see that there are spaces between those images, and that in reality there is no stable enduring self.
It is this deeply experienced insight that liberates".
