Great piece. This will take a few reads. I had some new personal insights. I thought the quote regarding those that are awake see one universe while those that are not awake see their own universe was powerful. The idea of change requires simultaneous stream of birth and death was highlighted for me. Do you have recommendations on good starter book on Heraclitus?
Also, I’m pretty certain that when Heraclitus says that even those who are asleep are taking part in the universe, he is NOT referring to actual sleep, but he means people who are ignorant and indifferent and unaware!!!!!!!

Just start by reading the Fragments. You should be able to find them online.
