Q. I don't like new things. How can I access the old system? 

Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change?
What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature?
And canst thou take a bath unless the wood undergoes a change?
And canst thou be nourished, unless the food undergoes a change?
And can anything else that is useful be accomplished without change?
Dost thou not see then that for thyself also to change is just the same, and equally necessary for the universal nature?

-Marcus Aurelius, The Meditations, Book Seven

Or put more simply: You cannot. The old system is gone.
