Isaiah 33:20 · World English Bible
Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
Everything made of form eventually comes apart. Bodies age, structures crumble, all that is built in time is taken down again by time.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
Everything made of form eventually comes apart. Bodies age, structures crumble, all that is built in time is taken down again by time. And yet there is a dwelling place within you that no force can dismantle, a quiet habitation, still and unshaken beneath the movement of your thoughts and circumstances.
This is your own awareness, the silent presence in which your whole life appears. Its stakes are never pulled up, its cords never broken, because it does not belong to the world of things that begin and end. When you rest your attention there, in the stillness that is always already present, you find the one part of you that nothing outside can take away.
Ego v. Being lens
What in you has stayed the same through every version of your life so far?
Everything made of parts passes like a cloud or a flash of lightning. Seeing that clearly is not grim, it is freeing.
Bodies and circumstances come and go, but the awareness in which they appear is not born and does not end.
All of this is passing, including you, and something in you can watch it pass without panic.
