•1 Adjustment, change, and progress are modes of ego, not of self.
•2 Beings do not progress, but things like egos, cities, and technologies can and often do progress.
•3 The self is not capable of being developed or improved, but the ego is always anxious to change.
•4 The self is neither discoverable nor lost but can only be experienced as the uncarved and unchanged container.
•5 The self never changes because its nature is perfect (host, mirror); however, the self can be remade from flesh into Spirit, and that is the only transformation possible for the self.
