Heraclitus,
the 6th century BC Greek Philosopher is a tough guy but might have some words of truth for us in the times of deep change.In his works he criticizes his predecessors and contemporaries for their failure to see the unity in experience. He claims to announce an everlasting Word (Logos) according to which all things are one, in some sense. Opposites are necessary for life, but they are unified in a system of balanced exchanges. The world itself consists of a law-like interchange of elements, symbolized by fire. Thus the world is not to be identified with any particular substance, but rather with an ongoing process governed by a law of change. The underlying law of nature also manifests itself as a moral law for human beings.

His efforts to go beyond physical theory in search of metaphysical foundations and moral applications is something we greatly need in this day and age. When so much data and documentation about ourselves and our world around us is being generated, what is the underlying meaning of all this for us, what is our moral and spiritual infinity?

Sometimes it is good to look deep into ancient wisdom to find the truth of the present. That looking glass can be more objective and accurate.
