The Creator initially designed it in a rigid, unchanging form. Hence the name.&nbsp;<em>Domem,<\/em>&nbsp;deriving from the word,&nbsp;<em>Dmama<\/em>&nbsp;(stillness).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing that does change is the intention behind a spiritual desire, namely, our attitude toward the Creator.
