Marcus Aurelius describes the continuous flow of all physical forms within the universal substance, emphasizing their natural unity and cooperation.

But if it is easy to set little value on all these things, turn to that which remains, which is to follow reason and God.
And how small a part of the whole substance; and how small a part of the universal soul; and on what a small clod of the whole earth thou creepest!
