Works: Logos

quinta-feira 1º de fevereiro de 2024

  

The Logos . . . is the prototype of the cosmos in the Principle, or of the world in God; and in this case the epithet does not refer to any man. [GTUFS: ChristIslam, The Idea of “The Best” in Religions]

Let us specify that the idea of the Logos is polyvalent: If God is “Beyond-Being” – which He never is in ordinary theology – the Logos will be creating or conceiving Being; if God is Being, the Logos will be His creating or efficient Word; if this Word is God, the Logos will be the reflection of God in the cosmos, namely the universal Intellect. [GTUFS: ChristIslam, The Idea of “The Best” in Religions]

The Logos – the Avatara – presents himself either objectively as “Divine Image,” in which case he is transcendent in relation to ordinary men, or subjectively as the Intellect, in which case he is immanent; he is then like the door towards the Divine Self, the immanent Divine Subject in our immortal substance. [GTUFS: RootsHC, Man in the Face of the Sovereign Good]

The Logos is one, but its modes of human manifestation may differ without in any way detracting from its quality as Logos. [GTUFS: ChristIslam, Alternations in Semitic Monotheism]
