LogosTalk: The Logos SelfIn another thread, ___ asked: <<I'm wondering how interchangeable the concepts of the Self and of the Logos are? Any thoughts on that? What, if you don't mind my asking, is your idea of the meaning of the phrase, "incarnation of the Logos"? What does that actually mean, psychologically? >> If I may, here's a fairly crisp explanation of the Logos as presented by a scholar of ancient religions and philosophies:
Psychologically, the Logos within us--as microcosmos or Self--needs to be in a state of order. There needs to be a harmony, a pattern that somehow makes meaning for our life, for our living. In order to accomplish this, there need be a mediation between all those aspects of our Self. A symmetry is called for, where there is an appropriate and workable relationship amongst these aspects in order to be complete. Beyond this, it is our duty to Self that it be articulated sanely and with sound judgment as a "word", as an agency, as an incarnation, in this life, in this world. |
