changing ? Are our thoughts, views, opinions, beliefs even - always remain the same ? Do we change, from moment to moment ? Are we the same with our views, thoughts, beliefs, and opinions as we were 5 years ago, or have things changed ?

There is nothing new under the sun
Jesus is the answer . . . the answer does not change because the question does not change.
(technology changes . . . not people)

The only thing that changes is ones beliefs. As belief is found to be established by truth, it changes to understanding, and understanding NEVER changes, for it comes from eternal truth.
So, we do change as we experience a human consciousness, and eventually we part with what we no longer have use for, and enter into an unchanging consciousness, for there is no mystery or error there. A fixed opinion without spiritual understanding is fuel for the fire. In this age, to perceive the world around us in it its proper context, we must first unmask the face of evil, so we know where and how to walk the path that leads away from the product of the original sin, namely turning away from God in all capacities.

I strive to keep an open mind to the journey.
It has served me well.
However, I have always sensed a pure consistant place within myself that despite all my moments both wonderful and not so wonderful, both greatest joys and remorse profound...is at the center where I meet the Divine.
For me change is about personal evolution and awareness.
It is often hard but always, because I refuse to alow it to be otherwise, in the end ultimatly fruitful. Where cause and effect embrace.
Life is change.
Peace.

The Bible talks about milk and meat.
Milk for the baby, and meat for the mature.
A New born Christian will have to take the milk to nourish on, hence the easy understood text and teaching.
As he grows in spirit, he can then later on, start nourishing on more mature food. (meat)
In that process, as we gain wisdom and knowledge there will be a change in mind.
Since no one knows it all, we will have to change our understanding as we get the deeper meaning of it all.
Like the parables, told by Jesus. As a unbeliever or New Born, you will most likely understand what the words are saying directly, but you will have to have some deeper knowledge to understand the message hidden in the parables. I am sure there will be some change in mind in that process
Since we are all born as sinners, disobedient, we are expected to change in mind, there is no way around it.

Everything is in a state of flux, we see this yet we percieve permanence and Act as if it is permanent and suffer as a result. It guides our very thought process and pervades them.
This is the illusion with which we Live.

All things arise due to causes and conditions are changing and impermanent... the Buddha taught this and I agree it's logical based on my own observations and analytical study/meditation.
