Logos
Mythipedia Entry – Logos
Logos is the way we organize our framework for life. The principle which holds our sense of the Creation together. It is one of the principles of story alongside Eros, Kairos, Mythos, Mystos, Pathos and Ethos.
Logos is the principle of order upon which ones interpretive matrix of the world is based. For example, a Christians logos is worship of Christ, whereas Buddhist logos is defined by Buddhism. In other examples, a pagan logos is often defined by worship of nature and the divine goddess whereas a Vedic logos is defined by one’s relationship with the ego and the substance of karma. In this context, a logos is essentially the fundamental system by which one organizes their subjective interface with the world. It is tied fundamentally into one’s mythos, which is the story of their path and purpose as it occurs for them in any given incarnation.
What’s important to understand and integrate about the concept of logos is that it can be anything, that any system of belief or tradition can serve as the gravity point around which one has a relational experience of divination and interpretation of causality. Hear the specifics of the logos that is resident with our current self are less important than the understanding of the gravity that are logos has in relationship to the tree of stories.
. It is in essence the word of the Creator that gives rise to the structure of our stories. Also known as the ‘Word of God’. This is the idea that all the principles and expressions which exist in the cosmos are the result of the Big Bang viewed as a titanic sound, one which set the many karmic impressions through the ethers of the Creation into motion. It is the birth of existence recognized as a Word of opening, setting the story of separation and its resolution into motion.
In this context, Logos is essentially the Law. The origin-principle that gave rise to everything else. It is the substance of the Divine Will, that which sits behind the many transformations and acrobatics of incarnate consciousness, that which gave rise to everything else.
