Thanks for this perspective, it helped me view a situation from a new angle. The part where he views all as one organism in logos is very Hermetic (all is mind), yet has practical applications, like those mentioned here. Now to dig out my copy of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and slog through that dense prose, with the new lens you gave. Thanks Marc!

Also LOL @ you both having the same initials, that fact forced me to rewrite my comment.

I have a 1964 book by James Gutman that use the George Long Translation on one page with the other page has various translations of parts that Gutman felt added more context. Hays must be a newer translation as it is not mentioned in the introduction, where all the English translations, at the time, were mentioned.

Thanks, I'll look for the Hays version after I finish this one, its barely over 100 pages, which is really over 50, considering the layout.
