Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony:
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 1: The Hidden Harmony
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 1: The Hidden Harmony, THE HIDDEN HARMONY IS BETTER THAN THE OBVIOUS. OPPOSITION BRINGS CONCORD. OUT OF DISCORD COMES THE FAIREST HARMONY. IT IS IN CHANGING THAT THINGS FIND REPOSE. PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WHICH IS AT VARIANCE WITH ITSELF, AGREES WITH ITSELF. THERE IS A HARMONY IN THE BENDING BACK, AS IN THE CASE OF THE BOW AND LYRE. THE NAME OF THE BOW IS LIFE, BUT ITS WORK IS DEATH at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 2: Fast Asleep Even While Awake
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 2: Fast Asleep Even While Awake, MEN ARE AS FORGETFUL AND HEEDLESS IN THEIR WAKING MOMENTS OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THEM AS THEY ARE DURING THEIR SLEEP. FOOLS, ALTHOUGH THEY HEAR, ARE LIKE THE DEAF; TO THEM THE ADAGE APPLIES THAT WHENEVER THEY ARE PRESENT THEY ARE ABSENT. ONE SHOULD NOT ACT OR SPEAK AS IF HE WERE ASLEEP. THE WAKING HAVE ONE WORLD IN COMMON; SLEEPERS HAVE EACH A PRIVATE WORLD OF HIS OWN. WHATEVER WE SEE WHEN AWAKE IS DEATH, WHEN ASLEEP, DREAMS at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 3: Wisdom is One and Unique
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 3: Wisdom is One and Unique, IT PERTAINS TO ALL MEN TO KNOW THEMSELVES AND TO BE TEMPERATE. TO BE TEMPERATE IS THE GREATEST VIRTUE. WISDOM CONSISTS IN SPEAKING AND ACTING THE TRUTH, GIVING HEED TO THE NATURE OF THINGS. LISTENING TO ME BUT NOT TO THE LOGOS, IT IS WISE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALL THINGS ARE ONE. WISDOM IS ONE -- TO KNOW THE INTELLIGENCE BY WHICH ALL THINGS ARE STEERED THROUGH ALL THINGS. WISDOM IS ONE AND UNIQUE; IT IS UNWILLING AND YET WILLING TO BE CALLED BY THE NAME OF ZEUS at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 4: God is Day and Night
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 4: God is Day and Night, GOD IS DAY AND NIGHT, WINTER AND SUMMER, WAR AND PEACE, SATIETY AND WANT. SEA WATER IS AT ONCE VERY PURE AND VERY FOUL: IT IS DRINKABLE AND HEALTHFUL FOR FISHES, BUT UNDRINKABLE AND DEADLY FOR MEN. THE NATURE OF DAY AND NIGHT IS ONE. THE WAY UP AND THE WAY DOWN ARE ONE AND THE SAME. EVEN SLEEPERS ARE WORKERS AND COLLABORATORS IN WHAT GOES ON IN THE UNIVERSE. IN THE CIRCLE THE BEGINNING AND THE END ARE COMMON at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 5: Such is the Depth of its Meaning
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 5: Such is the Depth of its Meaning, LET US NOT MAKE ARBITRARY CONJECTURES ABOUT THE GREATEST MATTERS. MUCH LEARNING DOES NOT TEACH UNDERSTANDING. SEEKERS AFTER GOLD DIG UP MUCH EARTH AND FIND LITTLE. YOU COULD NOT DISCOVER THE LIMITS OF THE SOUL EVEN IF YOU TRAVELED EVERY ROAD TO DO SO -- SUCH IS THE DEPTH OF ITS MEANING at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 6: Here, Too, Are the Gods
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 6: Here, Too, Are the Gods, WHEN SOME VISITORS UNEXPECTEDLY FOUND HERACLITUS WARMING HIMSELF BY THE COOKING FIRE, HE SAID TO THEM: HERE, TOO, ARE THE GODS. I HAVE SEARCHED MYSELF. TIME IS A CHILD MOVING COUNTERS IN A GAME; THE ROYAL POWER IS A CHILD'S. BIGOTRY IS THE SACRED DISEASE at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 7: A Dry Soul is Wisest and Best
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 7: A Dry Soul is Wisest and Best, A DRUNKEN MAN HAS TO BE LED BY A YOUNG BOY, WHOM HE FOLLOWS STUMBLING AND NOT KNOWING WHITHER HE GOES, FOR HIS SOUL IS MOIST. SOULS TAKE PLEASURE IN BECOMING MOIST. A DRY SOUL IS WISEST AND BEST at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 8: Man is Not Rational
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 8: Man is Not Rational, ALTHOUGH THIS LOGOS IS ETERNALLY VALID, YET MEN ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT -- NOT ONLY BEFORE HEARING IT, BUT EVEN AFTER THEY HAVE HEARD IT. WE SHOULD LET OURSELVES BE GUIDED BY WHAT IS COMMON TO ALL. YET, ALTHOUGH THE LOGOS IS COMMON TO ALL, MOST MEN LIVE AS IF EACH OF THEM HAD A PRIVATE INTELLIGENCE OF HIS OWN. HUMAN NATURE HAS NO REAL UNDERSTANDING; ONLY THE DIVINE NATURE HAS IT. MAN IS NOT RATIONAL; ONLY WHAT ENCOMPASSES HIM IS INTELLIGENT. WHAT IS DIVINE ESCAPES MEN'S NOTICE BECAUSE OF THEIR INCREDULITY. ALTHOUGH INTIMATELY CONNECTED WITH THE LOGOS, MEN KEEP SETTING THEMSELVES AGAINST IT. HOW CAN ANYONE HIDE FROM THAT WHICH NEVER SETS? at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 9: The Sun is New Each Day
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 9: The Sun is New Each Day, THIS UNIVERSE, WHICH IS THE SAME FOR ALL, HAS NOT BEEN MADE BY ANY GOD OR MAN, BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, IS, AND WILL BE -- AN EVERLIVING FIRE, KINDLING ITSELF BY REGULAR MEASURES AND GOING OUT BY REGULAR MEASURES. THE PHASES OF FIRE ARE CRAVING AND SATIETY. THE SUN IS NEW EACH DAY at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 10: Nature Loves to Hide
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 10: Nature Loves to Hide, IT WOULD NOT BE BETTER IF THINGS HAPPENED TO MEN JUST AS THEY WISH. UNLESS YOU EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED YOU WILL NEVER FIND THE TRUTH, FOR IT IS HARD TO DISCOVER AND HARD TO ATTAIN. NATURE LOVES TO HIDE. THE LORD WHOSE ORACLE IS AT DELPHI NEITHER SPEAKS NOR CONCEALS -- BUT GIVES SIGNS at energyenhancement.org
- Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 11: You Cannot Step Twice into the Same River
Heraclitus, The Hidden Harmony Chapter 11: You Cannot Step Twice into the Same River, INTO THE SAME RIVERS WE STEP AND DO NOT STEP. YOU CANNOT STEP TWICE IN THE SAME RIVER. EVERYTHING FLOWS AND NOTHING ABIDES. EVERYTHING GIVES WAY AND NOTHING STAYS FIXED. COOL THINGS BECOME WARM, THE WARM GROWS COOL. THE MOIST DRIES, THE PARCHED BECOMES MOIST. IT IS BY DISEASE THAT HEALTH IS PLEASANT; BY EVIL THAT GOOD IS PLEASANT, BY HUNGER, SATIETY; BY WEARINESS, REST. IT IS ONE AND THE SAME THING TO BE LIVING OR DEAD, AWAKE OR ASLEEP, YOUNG OR OLD. THE FORMER ASPECT IN EACH CASE BECOMES THE LATTER, AND THE LATTER AGAIN THE FORMER, BY SUDDEN UNEXPECTED REVERSAL. IT THROWS APART AND THEN BRINGS TOGETHER AGAIN. ALL THINGS COME IN THEIR DUE SEASONS. INTO THE SAME RIVERS WE STEP AND DO NOT STEP... at energyenhancement.org
