If one has pondered on the preceding threads he or she faces the issue of continuity.. What has continuity can never be other than that which it was, with certain modifications; but these modifications do not give it any new-ness.

It may take on a different cloak, a different color; but it is still the old idea, the memory, the knowledge.

The center of continuity is not of any spiritual essence nor of any material significance, for it is all within the field of thought, of memory, and decaying knowledge. It can experience only its own projections, and through its self-projected experience it gives itself further continuity. Therefore it's constantly seeking stability and trying to strengthen it's existence by a number of self-isolating actions.

It appears, as long as this center exists, it can never experience beyond itself and, there is no true renewal.. Continuity is decay. It seems there is renewal when the center ceases to be. Then renewal may be a rebirth which is not a continuity of the old.
