Heraclitus made this statement about 2600 years ago. One would assume that all monotheistic types were heraclitean that's clearly not the case by 99%.
1. How do you understand that term?
2. Why is that quote so obscure?
3.whom had a quote from the same era in opposition to heraclitus.?,Hint a very famous math figure in history.
4 why is the mathematicians understanding so dominate in context to the contemporary understanding of logos?.

BTW how do I change the title. It should say own private understanding.

To me, in its simplest terms, it illustrates that one of anything can and will be seen from an infinite number of views/ways. I see this idea/phenomenon incorporated in the fabric of life.

Ask one of the Mods to change the title. The only way I know of.

BTW have you looked into Hermes Trismegistus?

I had an old Greek explain to me that the Logos was like the blue print/plan. The structure that gives form to the universe.

it's repeated by spina without spinoza being Aware of it. Many are aware of spina but not the connection to heraclitus. So yea I would say how you have worded it is accurate but then that is not common if true.

I would say your old Greek aligns with pythagoras.

If the Logos is the "structure of the universe" then it is the reality that we have in common.

However the reality we perceive is a private one created by the subconscious mind. We don't really perceive reality, we perceive an interpretation of reality created by the subconscious mind.

Yes. We can experience reality it's all that sub conscious stuff that tends to give very interesting narratives as to the experience. You can see that in comments about dmt. But heck I see that in comments ts about nature conscious, cosmology , physical, history and on and on. In a sense post modern is. Has that sort of right.
