CHRIST, CHRIST LOGOS and LOGOS
DD 0l LOGOS, CHRIST LOGOS (EP 157)
The Logos, the Divine Common Selfhood, is as Absolute Being-ness manifested as Super Self-consciousness. Logos has been translated from the Greek to mean "Word" and "in the beginning (authority) was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). The Logos is "the real light which enlightens every man ... coming into the world" (John 1:9). Joshua Emmanuel speaks as the Logos when he says, "I am the Son of God" (Matt.27:43), and as Joshua when He speaks as the "Son of man" (Matt.18;ll).
JOSHUA EMMANUEL THE CHRIST (EP 157)
God's "only begotten Son" (John3:16). Joshua is a direct and pure Ray of the Logos incarnated, by immaculate conception, in Palestine twenty centuries ago as the "Son of man" (Matt.18:1l). His Divine Teachings, as preserved in the New Testament, are cherished in our work as universal and timeless, offering indispensable guidance in the exaltation of consciousness.
CHRIST, CHRIST LOGOS, LOGOS, LOGOI and LOGOIC (ET 1B6)
The Greek word Logos can be translated as "word" --as the Authorized Version does in the first chapter of St. John's Gospel--. Christ, as used here, alone or in conjunction with Logos, refers to the "ONLY BEGOTTEN SON". When Jesus, as the incarnation of the Christ Logos, is specifically meant, He is sometimes referred to as "the Most Beloved Logos". In our work, we often speak of the Holy Logos and the God-Man Jesus Christ, a full, direct and pure incarnation of the Logoic expression of Absolute Beingness, synonymously. Logoi is the plural of Logos. Logoic is the adjective.
DD 10 CHRIST-CONSCIOUSNESS (FH 298)
The attunement of the present personality with the Christ Logos within. The opening of the heart chakra. State of the doorsteps of Theosis.
DD 10 LOGOS (FH 302)
The part of the Absolute that makes possible the existence of Self-consciousness and free will. As eternal entities human beings are both logoic and holyspiritual. Animals are only holyspiritual. Jesus as Christ Logos represents the most complete expression of the logoic nature of the Absolute. The more spiritual advanced human beings are, the more the logoic part in them is dominant.
EP 17 Each of us is a logos and together we are unified in the Christ Logos. This means that each of us is actually part of a single body. This union is at all levels - noetical, psychical, and even physical - as molecular biology now understands that we are constantly exchanging matter with one another. Even with the denseness of gross matter we are in constant exchange. Can you imagine the interchange with the less tangible forms of Mind, emotions and thoughts? So we see that it is not only in the higher levels that we are unified, but also in the worlds of separation.
When we harm another we only harm ourselves. When a child starves in Africa, part of us starves. When a child is born into a healthy caring family in any part of the world, part of us is born. When a soldier dies in Bosnia, part of us is slain. We are both the assailant and the assailed. This is what Christ taught. Christ spoke of a king who said, "I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me." Bemused, the praised could not recall the acts of compassion. And Joshua the Christ, the King of the Heavens, explained, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matt.25:35-40).
E? 18 This is the Common Selfhood. In another place Joshua speaks of this: "I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15:5).
That we all share an equal place in the body of Christ is one of the most profound and greatest truths.
Joshua continues "... for without me ye can do nothing" (John 15:5).
What did Joshua mean when He said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). What is Christ? What is the Logos? Is it not Love, Wisdom and Power? This is a sacred triangle: the universal unconditional Love from above; the Wisdom of a unified heart and mind; and the Power of Goodness to overcome weakness. What Christ was saying for those "with ears to hear" (Mark 4:23) was that any man or woman who uses reason, love and power in the proper and Divine way is a Christian, be he called a Buddhist, a Muslim or any other brother or sister from the many faiths. The Church has so misunderstood this point. Joshua comes to us to tree us from illusions, not to oppress us. Why did he come? He said it: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
EP 18 The practice of meditation in the West seems to have been repressed, if not indeed suffocated by certain forces?
This has been the course of things, but let us not see it as regrettable. It is what happened. What is lamentable is that so many continue to feel the need to go to the East - to India or elsewhere - because they believe they will find something that Christianity fails to offer. They often return more disenchanted than before they left. Christianity has everything and it belongs to us - it is our tradition; it belongs to our bodies, our hearts and our minds. So "drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running water out of thine own well" (Prov.5:15).
The church is the church, reflecting the Love of the God-man to greater or lesser degrees, built of stone and some old ideas. Christ doesn't care how much gold may gild a church (Matt.23:16-19). His concern is for what goes on within a temple. The church is a holy place as it demarcates a sacred area, a place of worship. But the real church is the human form, with the three bodies. We "are the temple of God" (1 Cor.3:16). Within us is the holy of holies, an inner sanctum, in the heart of every man and woman. This temple can neither be soiled, nor destroyed. Go there, supplicate pray and work. Christ is there. He awaits you.
EP 162 Researchers of Truth understand the triadic nature of their subconscious. One chamber of the subconscious contains all the elementals composing our personality. The second chamber is the storehouse of life-giving etheric vitality. The third, and most valued chamber, is that of the Logos and the Holy Spirit.
ET 20 The expression of Absolute Beingness is the result of its Divine Will and has two arms - the Logoic and the Holy Spiritual. In every single thing in existence - such as living systems of the natural world, all types of consciousness and self-awareness - we find these two Divine Over-lords, varying only in degree of expression and activity.
ET 25 CHAPTER TWO "THE CHRIST LOGOS"
ET 25 No space exists which is not God, in the shape of Absolute Beingness in Its Self-sufficiency in, at the same time, Its Multiplicity and in Its creative Expressions, as Christ Logos and Holy Spirit.
ET 26 "The Logos is in authority and the Logos is in harmony with God and the Logos is God" (John 1;l). Overlordship of the Logos existed within the Absolute Overlordship of Absolute Beingness, before the hills and mountains were formed (John 17:5). This is to say that the Christ Logos and the Holy Spirit too are the same as Absolute Beingness, "of one substance with the Father."
ET 26 It is quite right that the God-Man Jesus put matters in their place when He said, "I am the Way, The Truth and the Life" (John 14:6)."I am the Way", He said, meaning His Man-Self, and "the Truth and the Life" meaning His God-Logos-Self.
ET 27 It must be fully understood that the Christ Logos does not begin, It rules. The Christ Logos is Absolute Beingness, of which the expression in humans is self-awareness, reason and love.
ET 28 We shall see Divine Total Wisdom of Absolute Beingness, of the Logos, and of the Holy Spirit, complete and absolute in all the universes, in a single cell, in a sun or in a galaxy.
ET 34 There is no part of Infinity which does not contain both the Holy Logos and the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless, They are not separate gods, but expressions of One and the same Absolute Lord.
FH 112 The CHRIST LOGOS can absorb and nullify the painful burdens of humanity.
FH 113 Jesus was not an austere puritan as He is often portrayed.
FH 141 The LOGOS expresses Itself within a civilization, within a planet, at the point when human consciousness has reached such a level that makes the manifestation of the Logos possible and meaningful.
FH 142 Buddha predicted, the LOGOS Itself would descend within 500 years.
FH 239 Animals are only holyspiritual, they lack self-consciousness (LOGOIC). It is through LOGOS that Mind has been created.
GOD incarnate
