Following are Hippocrates unique views on understanding God and the universe: Hippocrates emphasized that we humans did not have the mental compacity to understand God, we probably needed a completely new way of thinking. We might have to believe that this is possible that something exist without a beginning or end. The very word existance might be foreign to God. It is possible that something could be without a purpose. It is possible that understanding itself does not exist with God. We humans can’t possibly understand God within these limits. But all is not hopeless, it isn’t that God wanted his ways in doing things in secret for he has given us a way to what we call understanding. That way is this: It is through love.
