LOGOS (REASON-SPEECH)

A symbol of the Higher Self manifesting on the upper mental plane as a Divine outpouring of life and form, -the utterance of creative energy.The three aspects of the Logos are Will, Wisdom, and Action.

"The Logos of Heraclitus is at once world-principle and world-process. It seems to have been a name for the rational self-evolution of the universe, to be apprehended by the human mind which is capable of indentifying itself with it. With the Stoics, the seminal Logos is God Himself as the organic principle of the universe. God dwells in our hearts as Logos. Philo's Logos is a God who reveals Himself, in contrast with a God who hides Himself." - W. R. INGE, Camb. Biblical Essays, pp. 274-5.

There may be said to be three Logoi, or three Divine outpourings of Life, on the higher planes. The first is the involution of Spirit on the plane of atma, the second on the buddhic plane, and the third on the higher mental plane.
