Logos

Logos is an ancient Greek word meaning word, reason or divine order. In philosophy and mystical teaching it names the creative intelligence that shapes and sustains the cosmos.

Why It Matters

Heraclitus and the Stoics spoke of the Logos as the order running through all things, and early Christian writers, as in the Gospel of John, called it the Word. Hermetic seekers see it as the creative voice behind the universe. At NLS we treat it as a bridge teaching that many traditions share.
