2.121

Following the flow, though wondrous, entering the sea, water's waves submerge. Meaning: "True principle" is the unchanging principle of the fifth gate. "Being phenomena" refers to phenomena conforming to conditions of the third gate. Therefore, this establishes the meaning of the unchanging being identical to conforming to conditions. That is, discarding oneself to identify with the other, its principle is eliminated. This is the true encompassing the false extremity; though empty, it is not annihilation. The Contemplation says: "Therefore, as for this principle, only when its entire substance is phenomena is it true principle. Just as water is identical to waves, there is no motion that is not moisture. Hence, water is identical to waves."
