The Unchangeable - The Creator
The Creator's divine quality of 'Love' and 'Kindness' to His creation DOES NOT CHANGE.
WE have to CHANGE / evolve our understanding of His quality
...our task here is to grasp, through numerous levels of consciousness, how to connect to each other on the level of His 'Love'.

Serenity This is a nice little twist to the serenity prayer: "G-D grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, AND the wisdom to know the difference." Reply

Grasping Change... You can never fully grasp another human being, no matter how long you spend. Therefore, you cannot change a human being no matter how long you spend. Reply

changeable and Unchangeable.
"That which can be grasped will change"untill it grasps the Unchangeable.
Hopefully it happens now,or, at least ,hopefully it happens now a way, to be completely seen , towards a smoother,more healthy,more conscient and more lovingly journey.
Would this thought be right too?

To change or not To change or not can be grasped. The impossible is always possible.
