To Heraclitus, God – or the Deity – was something that embraced the whole world. Indeed, God can be seen most clearly in the constant transformations and contrasts of nature. Instead of the term ‘God,’ Heraclitus often used the Greek word logos, meaning reason. Although we humans do not always think alike or have the same degree of reason, Heraclitus believed that there must be a kind of ‘universal reason’ guiding everything that happens in nature.
