Divine Logos embodies God's wisdom

"In the beginning was the Word (Logos)
and the Word was with God
and the Word was God." 
John 1:1

Since it's Lent, it's high time we discussed the divine Logos, which Thaddeus so beautifully brought up in his comments on "The beginning of wisdom."  

While Christians (and others) understand the Holy Spirit as the divine Spirit available to all of us, the divine Logos is that and so much more. "Logos" is divine wisdom, or the "word" of God and is the awesome, unimaginably beautiful and powerful wisdom of God.  Christians understand the Logos as the Christ, the pre-existent, eternally alive, ultimate divine "knowing" or gnosis of God, which is total wisdom, absolute love in a way and on a level we only barely grasp and the totality of the universal divine power, which is ever-present in the cosmos.

It seems from the beginning of our time on Earth, there has been an on-going conversation between humanity and God which has taken on more encounters than it's possible for us to comprehend.  I think that in every breath we humans take, there is an infusion of God's wisdom or consciousness, but since we're all a bit preoccupied with our little lives, sometimes we miss the essence of God's presence in the experience the messages convey.   

Yet, God's wisdom is being imparted every moment of every day of our lives. In a sense, the wisdom which begins with the "fear" of God is like the smoke from a distant fire.  The Logos is the fire. Christians believe Jesus of Nazareth was destined to come into our human experience already fulfilled with the presence of God's divine wisdom as the Logos. He had the eyes to see, ears to hear, and heart and mind to know God. He sensed and understood deeply God's wisdom and came for the purpose of showing us how to enter into that deepest of all knowings, the inner temple where we meet God within our own spiritual selves.  

In fact, that Logos wisdom transformed Him beyond his original humanity and allowed us to see God's ultimate wisdom which the Gospel of John calls "the logos"  in His life, teachings and ministry.  He taught that we all could "know" this wisdom of God, this logos.  We are all also destined to enter into the same kind of relationship with God that He did and he attempted to teach us how to do that.  He said we were all "sons of God," made in the spiritual likeness of God and therefore also able to encounter and be transformed by the Logos, the ultimate knowledge that God's wisdom is. He did not say we needed to be Christians, Jews or any religion in order to enter into the presence of God and know God's divine wisdom.

He used every tool imaginable to teach us, including his own death and resurrection.  He died so we would receive the Holy Spirit and learn from his death that there is actually no death.  He tore down the inter-dimensional veils that have separated and blinded us to eternal life by his death/resurrection.  He entered eternity and stands there today, as He always has, with his arms outstretched inviting us into the great dance of wisdom, a dance so profound, so beautiful, so awesome that I find it difficult to express it in words, and yet I know it deeply in my heart as we all can.  

I write this in gratitude to Thaddeus. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Logos and God's wisdom which is available to all of us, regardless of religion!!
