“There is nothing new under the sun.” — Ecclesiastes

There is nothing new as the unchanging essence of all things is energy; visible in the form of light. In Genesis, “In the beginning…God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light.” Everything else is a derivative of light or an illusion.

There is nothing new as there are no things; just the Everything.

What we perceive as independent things are all unique and everchanging. Thus, there is nothing new as newness doesn’t differentiate one thing from another.

There is nothing new as there is nothing old. The now is all there is. The now is timeless. What we see as what was once and now no longer is an illusion.
