I think you're right, Amos. The one essential truth is Being. Being, however, is constantly re-inventing itself into new forms of Being and that's where change comes in...but...it's all happening now, because it always IS now and it always will be! ;-)

Human beings spend much of their time trying to escape the present. They seem to regard it as an obstacle (or a disappointment), and that is the fundamental error in their state of consciousness.

Example: A man stopped at a traffic light, impatiently drumming his fingers on the wheel and muttering, "Change, damn it!"

He isn't comfortable with the present. He refuses to embrace it. He turns his experience of the present into frustration.

Example 2: A girl is uncomfortable with her relationship with her boyfriend, because he isn't perfect...like the movie idols she dreams about. So she plays mind games on him and makes him jealous in order to introduce a little drama into a situation she's basically bored with.

She isn't comfortable with the present. She refuses to embrace it. She refuses to experience love fully in the present, but imagines it occurring in some ideal future...a future which will probably never arrive.
