Energy flows through your physical structure. But your atoms themselves are replaced on a regular basis and your pattern changes gradually over time.
When the pattern is destroyed, so are you.
All patterns change gradually over time. My physical structure has gradually changed over time, so have my thought patterns. The version of me at certain points in time no longer exists as it did before, but the energy that made up "me" at any given point in time is and always will be in existence...so says the 1rst law. I've come to accept that what I am will always be changing.
