The universe flows, grows, moves. The planet moves, rotates around the sun, spins on it's axis, etc. The continents move on the surface of the planet resulting in earthquakes. Animals move, walk, run, jump. Even plants move, although much less and much slower. Even the rocks move. Everything is movement, vibrations, change. Everybody knows this, or most of it anyway, yet many act as if it were not true. That act as if movement and change are rare occurrences that can probably be avoided, when they are, in fact, inevitable and unavoidable.     
    We plan for the future with the help of financial planners whose advice is based largely on a simple and flawed assumption: that commerce and finance will function very much like it does now twenty, thirty, even forty years into the future. This is based on the fact that not much seems to have changed in this area in a century or more, so why should it change in the future? That's a lot like the guy who said they should shut down the patent office because everything had already been invented. He said that over a century ago. 
    That is just one area of our lives, but the one where this “nothing is going to change” philosophy seems to be very common. But the rate of change in the world is speeding up. In addition, it should be obvious to everyone by know that we are in the End Times, and that means even more change. One big change that will happen is an increased value placed on spiritual growth, while material wealth will be far less significant. So go ahead and plan for the future, but plan for one that will be very different from today.
