The quip that the more things change the more they stay the same is grammatically close to the truth. The more change is exerted upon something, the more it not so much STAYS the same but the more it IS the same. That is to say, it actively refines and reveals the quality of its being, rather than passively maintaining itself. This is NOT an "essence" moving through a series of "existences", consecutively consecrating each one as the one that IS before discarding it, a light turning turning on and off through a series of adjacent rooms, both the light and the rooms only being and changing relative to each other. NOT AT ALL. Rather, any particular one immanently is, like THE One, not even like it per se, but IS the One. Change itself being likewise a one, a Monad, look no further than the awesome idea that change NEVER CHANGES, which is not at all "outside" the ones, exerting itself onto them "Newtonianlly", but is fully inside of them as well, or rather fully inside of them first and foremost, like any and all ones are already, and prominently, inside each other, Dialectically.

Dialectic, it's simple, actually the easiest thing to understand.

>Now, therefore, I say unto you: For every one who will renounce the whole world and all therein and will submit himself to the godhead, that mystery is far easier than all the mysteries of the Light-kingdom and it is sooner to understand than them all and it is easier than them all. He who reacheth unto the gnosis of that mystery, renounceth this whole world and all the cares therein.

>On this account, therefore, I have not hesitated nor have I been ashamed to call you my brethren and my companions, because ye will be fellow-kings with me in my kingdom. This, therefore, I say unto you, knowing that I will give you the mystery of the Ineffable; that is: That mystery is I, and I am that mystery.
