“Due to the speed of change, we can be fooled into thinking that change isn’t happening. However, the truth is more interesting: change is always accompanied by movement, and movement by time. Everything exists in a perpetual state of flux, a subtle transition from one state of energy to another. This is one of the Hermetic principles, an act of Magick, the mystical event of transmuting lead into gold, blood into wine. Not only is permanence an illusion, but it also contradicts evolution, the progression of creativity. This trajectory will eventually take us back to the singularity—in mystical terms, the very definition of permanence: a state without chaos, the source behind change!”
