  • It is our nature to separate things into parts, to make distinctions, but if there were a Supreme Being, is this the way it would see the universe?
  • No, says Heraclitus: “Listening not to me but to the Logos, it is wise to acknowledge that all things are one.”
  • Heraclitus seems to contradict himself on whether there is a God. The Logos is not God as such, and in some statements he sees the universe as a kind of self-perpetuating mechanism that “has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be – an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures.”

  • Our minds are so fixed on the material that we take this relative level of reality to be everything, yet there is an absolute reality that awaits our appreciation.
