I believe it was Nietzsche whom I read make reference to the similarities in thought between some of the Presocratics and "their teachers in the Orient," though to what extent the ideas sprung independently or were assimilated from one region to the other is probably unknowable.
There is a sense in which a thing that "is" cannot cease to be, for when something "is" no longer it no longer "is" the same thing of which we originally spoke. This is part of what drove Plato to introduce his Forms.
I should also add that I like Aristotle's idea that it is the form that changes while matter is what remains the same
