If fire becomes sea and the sea becomes earth, the sea derives from from that against which it measured itself before becoming the earth. Permanence of measures that reigns over movement is more radical than movement itself. If permanence assigns limits to movement, it will never stop. A thing being only what it is in being at once the same and other at the heart of a unity wherein difference never ceases to transpire. This is why god is day-night, winter-summer, etc. , and thus takes various shapes, just as fire, when mingled with different spices, is named according to the savor of each . Heraclitean idea of god is always other .
