1. Nothing is permanent even in our lives right now
the brain changes, the trees change, the eyes, ears, nose, everything changes

but there appears to be one thing that is unending in you that is "the perceiver"

even in sleep you perceive unconsciousness, you perceive changes, you perceive this that, you even perceive the moment your about to die.
The way out for Buddhist philosophers is to claim that perception/consciousness is an adventitious property that somehow "arises". Perception is one of the five skandhas. So, perception/consciousness would cease on attaining nibbana.
