It's all exactly the same as we left it.. Nothing changes, it's all stone, if you think it changed, then it's becoming what it was always meant to be, and therefore has always been..

Cut down a forest, and say, "I have changed this area!" but the reason for cutting down the forest was to develop more habitats for living.. therefore, it becomes what it has always been, a habitat for living.. the image is different, but it's the same thing..

People are the same way.. you can change your image, but you'll be the same person.. you can cut your hair, pierce your nose, ink your body.. lose a limb, gain a limb, go through a long, "life changing" experience, or stay home and meditate.. you'll think, "Ah, I've changed greatly as a person.." but no, you haven't.. you've become what you always were meant to be, and what you always have been..

It boggles the mind to realize this.. I suppose we'll all go through a small transitional period where we desperately try to become something we aren't, (lady knows I've tried) but in the end, we just become a different looking version of ourselves.. because people do not change..

That's such a mind boggling concept, but when understood on the most basic level, it makes complete sense. People, do not change. Nothing changes, yet it constantly changes.. it changes, yet remains the same..

A man who kills millions of people, and feels no remose, is then punished. Several years pass, and he's "a new man.." he's a good father, caring, wouldn't harm a fly. Has he changed? No.

He was always a good father, always caring, his inner violence was possibly brought out by that caring, but it was simply misguided.. he has become what he was meant to be -- a "good person" -- but he always was. He hasn't changed, he's just become what he always was, and was always meant to be..

The little rough patches that are scripted in our lives, that are meant to be, the things that we think change us, the things that we think show us "the light", are simply mirrors, reflecting what was feel inside, showing us what we've always been, and reminding us of who were meant to be.
