Nothing Changes/All is Flux
Objects seem solid
yet
yet
are made up of
wriggling strings
an optical delusion
in the dream
of Maya
3000 years ago
the Rishis said that
the world of forms
was all mind stuff
Maya
In the 20 the century
Sir James Jeans
said the universe
consists of pure thought
each thing a moving,
ever changing manifestation
of the life force
One unity
there are no boundaries

reminds me of Democritus who said c. 400bc “The universe is composed of two elements: the atoms and the void in which they exist and move”

There is Ultimate Reality and then there is Conventional Reality; if one confuses the two it can lead to insanity. Which does not mean that one cannot live in Ultimate Really and still know that they must abide by the law of Convetional Reality — [there is form and matter].
