you will notice that with every movement of
your hand, the images will constantly
change unless you stop applying the
movement. Appearing as a star at one
moment, it's a triangle the next. If there is
only one blue bead in your kaleidoscope,
you will notice that it continually moves and
changes according to the movement of the
entire creation. The image never remains the
same, it no longer is, what was, but yet, all
the separate parts which create it remain the
same. Creation can be seen in this manner.
All moments exist as one, yet are continually
altered by that which we become in the
current point of now. Every piece remains
essentially the same, yet is completely
transformed by that which we become in the
present."
"Although (the consciousness) appears in
other ways, its nature remains the same as
before and is permanent... Consciousness
appears in other ways, and although the
(different modes) are not true, (their nature)
is one and true... It is the nature of merely
being conscious that is one and true."
