<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHeraclitus (end of 6th beginning of 5th century B.C.), the \u201cObscure\u201d philosopher from Ephessos, considered \u201cLogos<\/i>\u201d (word, reason, account; or in Latin, ratio) as the eternal, common relation that regulates reality. According to Heraclitus, all beings (living and non-living) forming an undivided unity, a continuum, contain and are permeated by the regulating principle of\u00a0Logos<\/i>. The constant motion, the continuous and universal flow and change, constitutes the fundamental characteristic of this reality (panta rhei = everything flows). At the same time, however, Heraclitus stressed the unity of everything (en panta = all is one), which are connected and held together by the function of the eternal\u00a0Logos<\/i>. The continuous change is unswervingly connected with constant parameters which ensure the interweaving of \u201cdifference\u201d and multiplicity with the \u201cidentity\u201d and unity of phenomena and direct the synthesis of opposites with the unifying action of\u00a0Logos<\/i>. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
According to this concept, opposites are in essence alternative and complementary entities connected through the action of\u00a0Logos<\/i>\u00a0to a cohesive and harmonic relationship. Heraclitus\u2019s teaching is known as \u201cthe unity of opposites\u201d and the student of orgonomy easily recognizes in it Reich\u2019s research on the \u201cfunctional identity and antithesis of the Autonomic Nervous System\u201d, as well as fundamental principles of orgonomic functionalism, as expressed in orgonometric equations of the type:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
