Logos (Logoi)
After infinity becomes aware (the First Distortion), the aware infinity, using its Will, then “finds focus.” “This is the Second Distortion known to you as Logos, the Creative Principle, or Love.” The Logos, then, is literally the “focus of the Creator.” (13.7, 15.21, 27.12, 28.1.)
This “kinetic focus,” the Logos, may be one and the same with consciousness, for the Logos is, according to Ra, the consciousness, or mind, of the manifest Creator. It is that which conceives and—through the Third Distortion of Light (its manifest self, or its body, if you will)—creates universes, galaxies, solar systems, mind/body/spirit complexes, and on down the line. Each new Creative Principle, which is some level of sub-logos, in turn creates.
Space/time, time/space, the schedule of densities, and rhythms and patterns of its creation come into being using the Light created by the Logos. The nature of this Light thus creates the nature of the catalytic and energetic levels of experience in the creation. This intelligent energy, or love/light, is that which heals, builds, removes, destroys, and transforms the universe and everything within it. This is connected to why Ra also describes Logoi as “prime movers.”
Here Ra describes how the construct of the manifest universe comes into being according to the conception and plan of the Logos:
  • The process by which space/time comes into continuum form is a function of the careful building, shall we say, of an entire or whole plan of vibratory rates, densities, and potentials. When this plan has coalesced in the thought complexes of Love, then the physical manifestations begin to appear; this first manifestation stage being awareness or consciousness.[60] – 29.11 (See also 27.17, 41.8)
The Logos, itself a creature of free will, seems to operate to some very small extent like we in third density do when conceiving and manifesting a plan. (We are sub-Logoi after all). First, the Logos considers and constructs the plan in its “thought complexes,” as it were, presumably with careful consideration, and then, using Light, manifests that plan in experimental fashion.
The Primal Logos[61]—alternatively called the “One Logos” and “the one great heart of creation”—designs the octave, universe, or creation itself.[62] The next tier of Logoi design galaxies. The next tier of Logoi design solar systems. Each Logos determines the paths of intelligent energy, designing the natural laws (or laws of physics) and ways of expressing them mathematically and otherwise.
  • This energy is of an ordering nature [which creates its patterns in holographic style (13.8)]. It orders in a cumulative way from greater to lesser so that when Its universe, as you may call it, is complete, the manner of development of each detail is inherent in the living light, and thus will develop in such and such a way; your own universe having been well-studied in an empirical fashion by those you call your scientists. – 28.5
The plan of each Logos, at whatever level, does not create a condition of complete predestination where all that would transpire would be foreordained and known. Rather, the plan creates the constructs or parameters within which free will may have free reach, where surprises and unknowns await both the Logos manifesting the plan and the sub-Logoi operating within the plan, and fractally on down the sub-sub line. A few examples:
  • Questioner: I understand that the Logos did not plan for the heating effect that occurs in our third-density transition into fourth. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct except for the condition of free will which is, of course, planned by the Logos as It, Itself, is a creature of free will. In this climate an infinity of events or conditions may occur. They cannot be said to be planned by the Logos but can be said to have been freely allowed. – 63.30
  • The incorrectness [of your query] lies in the consideration that social memory complexes were planned by the Logos or sub-Logos. This is incorrect, as the unity of the Creator exists within the smallest portion of any material created by Love, much less in a self-aware being. However, the distortion of free will causes the social memory complex to appear as a possibility at a certain stage of evolution of mind. – 47.2
  • The harvest from the previous creation was that which included the male and female mind/body/spirit. It was the intention of the original Logoi that entities mate with one another in any fashion which caused a greater polarization. It was determined, after observation of the process of many Logoi, that polarization increased manyfold if the mating were not indiscriminate. Consequent Logoi thusly preserved a bias towards the mated relationship which is more characteristic of more disciplined personalities and of what you may call higher densities. The free will of each entity, however, was always paramount and a bias only could be offered. – 84.22
The mind/body/spirit complex, or human being, is itself, once sufficiently awakened, a Logos. Or, more technically, a sub-sub-Logos. And as we progress through the densities in our development, we become better acquainted with this gigantic other-self.
  • Metaphysically, the sun achieves a meaning to fourth through seventh density according to the growing abilities of entities in these densities to grasp the living creation and co-entity, or other-self, nature of this sun body. Thus by the sixth density the sun may be visited and inhabited by those dwelling in time/space and may even be partially created from moment to moment by the processes of sixth-density entities in their evolution. – 41.4
Sub-Logos (Sub-Logoi)
Ra uses the prefix “sub” before Logos to denote what we would see as a junior/senior relationship between two hierarchically arranged Logoi, or superior/subordinate. The junior sub-Logos uses the intelligent energy in ways set forth by the senior Logos and uses its free will to co-create the full nuances of its portion of the universe.
Ra describes the sub-Logos as an “offspring” of the Logos. Though Ra does not specifically use the concept of fractals, it may be extrapolated that each sub-Logos offspring is a fractal iteration of its parent Logos; that is, the hierarchy of Logos to sub-Logos is not a top-down structure where one separate entity commands the other from a position above—e.g., the General commands the Colonel—rather, the parent Logos fractally creates a new generation of Itself which operates within Its parameters, the sub-Logos continuing the plan of the senior in unbroken symmetry. That second generation creates a third generation of itself that operates within its parameters, the third creating a fourth, the fourth creating a fifth, and so on, the part being an iterative generation of the whole, which it paradoxically contains.[63]
Hierarchies are naturally ordered in ascending/descending configurations and patterns of greater to lesser, higher to lower, etc. Ra indicates that the creation itself is ordered this way, from the Logoi, to the densities, to our minds, our energy bodies and our energy centers. But this hierarchy is inherently balanced by the quality of holography which states that no matter the rung of the ladder or the position of the entity in the hierarchy, the self simultaneously contains the entire One Infinite Creator; the self is the One Infinite Creator.[64]
Within the guidelines or ways of the senior Logos, the junior sub-Logos may find various means of differentiating and refining experiences without removing or adding to these ways. Examining galaxies, for instance, each galactic Logos offers refinement and variation to the cosmic design, including adjustments to natural laws; but the variations between galaxies, and between solar systems within those galaxies, may be compared to various dialects of the same language.
Using the System of Subs: In studying the Logoic system there arose some confusion about how to properly apply the prefix “sub,” especially as there was some inconsistent use. Ra designated the galactic Logos as “Logos,” the solar Logos as “sub-Logos,” and the human as “sub-sub-Logos.” This neatly shows the generative path and hierarchical/holographical relationship between each.
However, Ra also indicated that there was one tier of Logos above the galactic Logos. This they referred to as the “One Central Sun,” the “One Logos,” the “One Great Heart of Creation,” and the “Primal Logos.”[65] This Logos births the octave itself—all the densities and galaxies within the entire universe. The various galactic Logoi, then, must be the offspring or fractal iterations of the Primal Logos. So one could make a case that the galactic Logos is the sub-Logos, the solar Logos is the sub-sub-Logos, and the third-density mind/body/spirit complex is the sub-sub-sub-Logos. Ra does actually make a single anomalous use of “sub-sub-sub-Logos” in 92.22 when referring to third density, but it is unclear to what, exactly, they refer.
Whatever the designation of sub and sub-sub, all levels of sub-Logoi, like the Logos, are possessed of free will. Each sub-Logos (including the human being once properly awakened), is a co-Creator. Indeed, every entity that exists is a sub-Logos of some order “down to the limits of any observation, for the entire creation is alive.” (29.8)
Quick Author’s Note: Logos as Prime Mover: In 27.15 Ra says: “Each Love, as you term the prime movers….” In the context of Western philosophy, “prime mover” is a term dating back to Aristotle. In my purely layman understanding, it signifies the first cause of all motion and change in the universe without itself being changed or moved: the ultimate spark of all causality.
Aristotle saw this Prime Mover as a principle which precipitated movement not through physical interaction but as the ultimate object of love or desire. That is, as a principle of perfect actuality toward which a creation in a state of potentiality strives, it exerts an irresistible, metaphysical attractive force upon the universe.
This is perhaps why Ra indicates that some have misunderstood its nature:
  • [The Logos] then may be seen to be an object rather than an activity by some of your peoples; and the principle of this extremely strong energy focus being worshiped as the Creator instead of unity, or oneness, from which all Loves emanate. – 27.12
Sub-Logos’s Plan for Third Density
A sub-Logos (such as our local Sun body) is the architect of its local portion of the creation. Among its designing/building activities, the sub-Logos makes refinements to the cosmic all-mind. In doing so, it creates its own take on an archetypal mind. The archetypical mind is the blueprint or architecture of the nature of evolution. Each refinement of the archetypical mind is unique to the sub-Logos who has refined it, and is utilized by all third-density entities created by that sub-Logos.[66]
Through the archetypal mind, the will of the Logos posits the potentials and parameters available to the evolving entity, along with other design parameters, including: the opacity of the veil, a bias toward polarity, design of the physical vehicle, and other physical evolutionary possibilities.
Catalyst for the lower energy centers (red, orange, yellow) is offered in random fashion by the intelligent energy of the sub-Logos (our Sun) to its sub-sub-Logoi (third-density entities). The more conscious an entity becomes, the more polarized, more responsible and more a co-Creator of its journey it is. Increasingly it programs its own catalyst until, finally, all catalyst is “chosen, generated, and manufactured by the self, for the self.”
  • The sub-Logos [Sun] offers the catalyst at the lower levels of energy, the first triad; these have to do with the survival of the physical complex. The higher centers gain catalyst from the biases of the m/b/s complex itself in response to all random and directed experiences.
Thus the less developed entity will perceive the catalyst about it in terms of survival of the physical complex with the distortions which are preferred. The more conscious entity, being conscious of the catalytic process, will begin to transform the catalyst offered by the sub-Logos into catalyst which may act upon the higher energy nexi. Thus, the sub-Logos can offer only a basic skeleton, shall we say, of catalyst. The muscles and flesh—having to do with the, shall we say, survival of wisdom, love, compassion, and service—are brought about by the action of the mind/body/spirit complex on basic catalyst so as to create a more complex catalyst which may in turn be used to form distortions within these higher energy centers.
The more advanced the entity, the more tenuous the connection between the sub-Logos and the perceived catalyst until, finally, all catalyst is chosen, generated, and manufactured by the self, for the self. – 54.17 (See also the entries for Catalyst and Kundalini in this guide.)
The relationship then changes between the self and the Sun to become that of Logos to Logos, Creator to Creator.
  • You may begin to see your relationship to the Logos or sun with which you are most intimately associated. This is not the relationship of parent to child but of Creator (that is Logos) to Creator (that is the mind/body/spirit complex as Logos). – 65.17
As explored earlier, there is always a balance between the plan of the Logos and the free will of those sub-Logoi following its plan. Here we see that balance between the plan of our own sub-Logos (the plan for the opposable thumb, in this case) and the free will of the sub-sub-Logoi (using that thumb to create tools for the unplanned purpose of warfare).
  • Questioner: There seems to have been created by this Logos, to me anyway, a large percentage of entities whose distortion was toward warfare, in that we had the Maldek and the Mars experience and now Earth. It seems that Venus was the exception to what we could almost call the rule of warfare. [Was this] extreme action to polarization in consciousness [constructed and planned]?
Ra: I am Ra. It is correct that the Logos designed Its experiment to attempt to achieve the greatest possible opportunities for polarization in third density. It is incorrect that warfare of the types specific to your experiences was planned by the Logos. This form of expression of hostility is an interesting result which is apparently concomitant with the tool-making ability. The choice of the Logos to use the life-form with the grasping thumb is the decision to which this type of warfare may be traced. – 90.18
Our own sub-Logoic sun body, Ra reports, chose to plant biases in the deep mind indicating the more efficient of the two paths of polarization (first and second quotes below), along with turning up the dial on the visibility and availability of the love/light of the One Creator (third quote):
  • You will notice the many inborn biases which hint to the possibility of one path’s being more efficient than the other. This was the design of the Logos. – 90.20
  • Within its second-density environment and within the roots of mind there were placed biases indicating to the watchful eye the more efficient of the two paths. Let us say, for want of a more precise adjective, that this Logos has a bias towards kindness. – 90.21
  • There are Logoi which have offered a neutral background against which to polarize. This Logos chose not to do so but instead to allow more of the love and light of the Infinite Creator to be both inwardly and outwardly visible and available to the sensations and conceptualizations of m/b/s [complexes] undergoing Its care in experimenting. – 90.23
Author’s Note: The Hint and the Hope
In 90.18, Ra speaks to how the Logos “designed its experiment to attempt to achieve the greatest possible opportunities for polarization in third density.” In the follow-up, 90.19, Ra confirms Don’s supposition by saying that our “Logos hope[d] to see generated a positive and negative harvest.” Contemplating how and why there is darkness in the heart of our fellow human beings, or why there is “evil” and cruelty in the world, is arguably the most problematic of all philosophical/theistic/ethical conundrums. It is that which makes or breaks faith. Ra’s understanding thus offers a rich and challenging vein for contemplation.
While the third-density world we built is of our own making—in these Edenic conditions of abundance, humanity could have created a global, service-to-others paradise if it had so desired—it seems that the game was rigged from the outset, to put it one way, to encourage or promote an outcome of mixed polarity in this world. This knowledge gives one pause when railing against cruelty, inequality, and injustice, and against those who enact these energies.
Though it is precisely those qualities of harmful and even cruel behavior which spurs those of the positive polarity to seek and to be love all the more intensely, thus the gift to the Creator and the fulfillment of the experiment of the veil.
Despite this hope of mixed polarity, our Logos nevertheless embedded an “inborn bias” toward kindness, and opted to make the love and light of the Creator more “inwardly and outwardly visible.”
Consider how so much of recorded history has been dominated by the subjugation—and frequent brutality—from monarchies and autocracies. Yet, in the grand numbers game, the positive polarity still prevails. Perhaps this reflects that inborn bias toward kindness within our Logos.
  • The Earth seems to be negative. That is due to the quiet, shall we say, horror which is the common distortion which those good or positively oriented entities have towards the occurrences which are of your space/time present. However, those oriented and harvestable in the ways of service to others greatly outnumber those whose orientation towards service to self has become that of harvestable quality. – 17.23
The power of the Law of One (or God, if you will), is equally accessible to the light and dark paths. This often painful situation of polarity—which may inspire the sincere seeker to blaspheme the Creator at times—is a reality which Ra counsels has only one, broad, viable way of relating to it for the positive seeker:
  • It should be noted, carefully pondered, and accepted, that the Law of One is available to any social memory complex which has decided to strive together for any seeking of purpose, be it service to others or service to self. The laws, which are the primal distortions of the Law of One, then are placed into operation and the illusion of space/time is used as a medium for the development of the results of those choices freely made. – 7.15
Author’s Note: Making Love and Light More Visible
In the quotes preceding the previous author’s note, Ra explains that our local sub-Logos, the sun, did not select a “neutral” background for our incarnate experience. Instead, it chose one that makes love and light both more “inwardly and outwardly visible” to both our “sensations and conceptualizations.” This visibility resonates deeply within the roots of our mind and our second-density environment. It is an extravagantly fascinating notion to ponder.
In terms of love and light which is more outwardly visible to our vision and thoughts, I can’t but help to consider how astonishingly beautiful our world is. From the constantly changing canvas of light and color above our heads, to the boundless oceans, the cathedrals of rock, the canyons, caves, coasts, forests, deserts, wetlands, jungles, and alpine terrains, most of them replete with a seasonally changing wealth of biodiverse flora and fauna, fruiting and flowering plants; one could spend thousands of lifetimes reveling in this infinite abundance of glory and beauty. And I haven’t even mentioned snow! And rain! Lightning and thunder! Migrating birds and lion prides! Our 2nd density companions and hundred-year old tortoises! Bioluminescent organisms! Sequoia and bonsai trees! Riverbeds and freshwater ponds! The awesome abundance of nature in providing for our needs and foodstuffs. White light prismed into its seven constituent bands of color arched across our skies. Is this embarrassment of riches an intentional gift of beauty for us?
In terms of love and light which is more inwardly visible to our thoughts and senses, is this connected to our infinite creative capacities? The song that evokes our deeper emotions, the artwork that arrests our breath, the book that illuminates our interior? Perhaps this more inwardly visible love/light is part of our sensitivity to and need for beauty, our capacity to shed tears when in the presence of the sublime, to feel our soul come alive in fulfillment when in beauty’s embrace, or to expend ourselves working in our gardens for no other purpose than to create and rejoice in beauty.
I don’t know, but I cherish the beauty of our world, and live ever in its wonder.
Author’s Note: Logos, the Foundation of Consciousness
Multiple times, Ra described the various stages or manifestations of consciousness. For example, the consciousness of the first density:
  • The progression is from the galaxy spiraling energy, to the solar spiraling energy, to the planetary spiraling energy, to the experiential circumstances of spiraling energy which begin the first density of awareness or consciousness of planetary entities. – 13.15
In the second density, Ra describes the “undifferentiated consciousness” of the species before any one entity is individuated. In the third density, they refer to the “self-consciousness,” or “self-aware” consciousness, which is also part of a “mass consciousness.” And, at the other far end of the spectrum of the octave, the consciousness of the mind/body/spirit complex totality:
  • …the mind/body/spirit complex totality coming into consciousness in the course of seventh density. – 36.1
Each evolutionary stage of consciousness emerges as the upward-spiraling light elevates the entity to a new vantage point, revealing what was latent. With each ascent, focus expands and realization deepens. Again and again, consciousness integrates more of the Creator—more of itself—through each successive density.
Every entity of every density is a unique expression of consciousness. But Ra also uses consciousness as descriptive of the whole enchilada: the Creator/creation in all its infinitude.
  • We do not calculate the possibility of coming among your peoples by the numbers of calling, but by a consensus among an entire societal-memory complex which has become aware of the infinite consciousness of all things. – 7.8
  • The outer service to others became nearly impossible, causing the entity to experience once again the choice of the martyr; that is, to put value in a fatal action and die or to put value on consciousness of the creation and of the One Creator and, thereby, live. – 103.4
  • Thus the shortened life span is due to the necessity for removing an entity from the intensity of experience which ensues when wisdom and love are, having been rejected, reflected back into the consciousness of the Creator without being accepted as part of the self, this then causing the entity to have the need for healing and for much evaluation of the incarnation. – 22.26
  • It was our naïve belief that we could teach/learn by direct contact, and the free will distortions of individual feeling or personality were in no danger, we thought, of being disturbed as these cultures were already closely aligned with a[n] all-embracing belief in the live-ness or consciousness of all. – 2.2
  • The creation itself is a form of consciousness which is unified—the Logos being the one great heart of creation. – 82.12
  • All of the infinite Logoi are one in the consciousness of love. – 81.23
It is this understanding of the creation as consciousness that opens the same awareness that even the stones are “alive”:
  • The larger pyramids were built by our ability using the forces of One. The stones are alive. It has not been so understood by the mind/body/spirit [complex] distortions of your culture. – 2.4
While beyond my full grasp and articulation, and while I won’t quite venture an attempt to define consciousness, I view consciousness fundamentally as the Logos: the Mind, or the Organizing, Creative Principle of the Creator.
Consciousness is the ultimate mystery of intelligent infinity manifest into and as the creation in its infinite forms, be that the first- or seventh-density being of this or any seemingly past or future octave. And it may be one and the same as the One Original Thought.[67]
Consciousness is that which the Logos, the foundation of consciousness, first designs in its thought complexes and then builds as a creation or a universe made of and by consciousness; of and by Itself; subsequent to which it commences distorting, exploring, and experiencing.
That exploration of consciousness down to its Logoic roots is ultimately the exploration of the Law of One.
  • If the mind knows itself then the most important aspect of healing has occurred, for consciousness is the microcosm of the Law of One. – 4.17
Relatedly, in the next passage, Ra identifies a "center" to consciousness at different scales: centers of galaxies (Logos), star systems (Sub-Logos), planetary systems (Sub-sub Logos), and the creation itself (Primal Logos). As these can be translated into spatial terms for my human needs, these seem easier to grasp.
A center of consciousness is more challenging to consider, but not insurmountable if you conceive of the center to be located within the heart of every entity of consciousness, whatever their level of manifestation. The center of an entity is its Logoic nature—which is fully activated and experienced at the gateway to intelligent infinity through the spirit complex shuttle.
But what of a “center to infinity”? This lands one squarely in the realm of paradox. Infinity, by definition, has no boundaries. It transcends spatial limitations. Whereas a center is a fixed point relative to its boundaries in a defined system.
Whether this center to infinity is rightfully viewed as the Primal Logos or the Creator Itself, I’m uncertain. It would seem that the center to infinity is the one, eternal, undifferentiated Source—that center which is at the heart of each aspect of the manifest universe. From this center, universes, galaxies, star systems, and all entities radiate outward into infinite manifestations—all of which remain connected to, and expressions of, this One Source.
In a holographic universe where the part contains the whole, each part is that center. This ties back into Ra’s above-mentioned description of the “infinite consciousness of all things”—in the center of our center is the infinite, the ground of being. Our individual consciousness is not separate, but is an aspect of the infinite itself.
  • There is a center to infinity. From this center all spreads. Therefore, there are centers to the creation, to the galaxies, to star systems, to planetary systems, and to consciousness. In each case you may see growth from the center outward. – 82.7
The following passage has always tantalized me:
  • This material world is transformed by the spirit into that which is infinite and eternal. The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. There are many things which fall away in the many, many steps of adepthood. We, of Ra, still walk these steps and praise the One Infinite Creator at each transformation. – 80.20
It sets up a distinction between consciousness and spirit. Consciousness, even when developed to its highest capacities, serves as a tool—a way of contacting and interfacing with intelligent infinity. It is through discipline, will, and faith that our consciousness can reach out. The spirit, however, is not merely reaching out; it is the wellspring from which all creation flows. Its infinity is something that is inherent, something you are.
This is not personal awareness, but the background awareness of infinity itself, of the universe itself: present, permanent, and stable at any seeming juncture in the elapse of space, time, and the octaves; forever witnessing the manifest play of light and shadow; forever available to the entity who, if sufficiently conscious, seeks it within as the very ground of their own being.
The teaching of all mystics is essentially designed to help third-density beings break their identification with consciousness-as-form in order to realize what they already are: this very same form-less infinite awareness; that from which all consciousness and form, whatever its vibratory rate, springs.
And then there's this beauty of a nugget:
  • We now address your query as to the archetype which is the Matrix of the Mind. As to its name, the name of Magician is understandable when you consider that consciousness is the great foundation, mystery, and revelation which makes this particular density possible. The self-conscious entity is full of the magic of that which is to come. – 78.33
