alright. these two hands are the same yet they are not. they do different things to You, don't they? Your reactions to the first one were not the same as Your reaction to the second one You saw was it? this is like a river. You never can step into the same river twice. yet some how it is the same river. it still has the same name, and it looks like the river You saw just a few moments before. but the water is different. the water You once saw, or once flowed around Your feet is that much closer to the ocean, and this water now passing You has just come down from heaven and the mountain. yet it is all one stream of water. this is the same as the river of time. this is the same as the flow of energy through the world. it flows ever on, never the same, never otherwise. can You be that way also?
