'Lotus' Meditation Reflection - Feb 16 14

Link to meditation, guided by Ajahn Brahm.
Came with very little physical distraction, was able to have some moments of silence and start feeling the breath, the heartbeat, thoughts came to distract me about the nature of existence...

If, considering time, either each moment is a static position of matter/of antimatter, or there is an infinite series of moments that are plottable (imagine a roll of film, or a slideshow - where a moment in existence is each frame and we can see frame by frame, or step back/step out and see all the frames at once), what gives matter/antimatter the push to change each successive position? Can it be consciousness, sparking tiny 'explosions' to propel movement, would that have to exist on another plane/dimension (poor words, but some 'other' - the 'ghost in the machine') or would the motion of matter and whatever impels it be one and the same? Anyone out there able to reduce my staggering ignorance and misperception with some comment or reading suggestions?
