It's useful to consider this: Does the universe really change? Does the universe ever become something other than what it is? By 'universe' I don't mean one universe out of many different universes, as some may theorise. I mean the Whole.

Certainly the universe appears as though it is continually changing, but there is something that remains unchanged. The universe can't really become something other than what it is. It is neither more nor less than what it always is. There is nothing from which the universe can gain, and nothing to which the universe can lose, because there is nothing else.

It seems that the universe is changelessly changing. Even from the human perspective, the Earth and other planets spin around the Sun, clouds come and go, temperatures rise and fall, plants grow and fade, animals multiply and roam around the planet. Even when we are unaware of any noticeable movement we know that there is always change. The body breathes, food is digested, skin cells die and are replaced, right now. I hesitate to say 'every moment' because there are not really many moments. It's the appearance of continual flowing change in the Now.

The universe appears to be moving continually, but where can it go? Does the universe ever go anywhere other than where it always is? Since the universe contains all, there is nothing beyond it. So the universe cannot really be said to move somewhere else. There isn't somewhere else, although movement appears to happen within the universe. Even 'within' isn't accurate, as the universe has no limits to be within. There is really neither insider nor outside the universe. There is just What Is.

From the human perspective this moving, changing universe is observed from an unmoving, unchanging point. The body may move around in the world, but this movement is observed. No matter where you seem to go, you are always Here. No matter how the universe seems to change it is always perceived Now, and it can never be anything other than what it is.
