Interesting. I ran across the concept of Logos awhile back. Been interested in it ever since.

As you said, it comes from the Greeks and is sort of an all-encompassing concept that is hard to specifically describe.

The guy who introduced me to the concept thought of it as "The Law" -- but not as man-made law. More like God's Law, or the Law of the Universe, or Nature's Law.

The idea was that humans throughout history have had this idea that there is something "out there" that is "bigger than us." And "The Law" is a way to describe what needs to be done in order to be in harmony.

If man-made law violates "The Law" (God's Law), then trouble soon follows. If man-made law is in harmony with the Logos, then peace and happiness can follow.

Just compare what we are seeing in the world today, with all the chaos due to violating the basic principles of Logos (or Jesus/God), versus how the Founding Fathers of the USA were in harmony -- except for slavery, which resulted in massive chaos.

If we pursue capitalism (as in true, free market capitalism), then people trade freely and the society is generally prosperous. But if communists try to push their way into people's lives, the result is chaos, bloodshed, and misery.

On a personal level, if someone plays video games and smokes pot all day, and does not work in order to pay their way through life, then sooner or later, there will be very negative consequences to follow.

"Cause and Effect" cannot be ignored, and it cannot be cheated. It is a universal "law" like gravity. It just exists. It just is, and we are either in harmony (good things happen) or we are in violation (bad things happen).

Logos is a way to wrap this concept up in a way that people of all beliefs can identify and grasp what it is.

That is my understanding.

Thanks for your insight, as well.
