A dictionary meaning of Logos is, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the rational principle that governs and develops the universe<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, some synonyms are \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWorld Reason<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcworld principle<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153More fundamental than the governing principles and premises of the prevailing \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 founds the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, determining what can appear and in what ways, setting limits and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmeasuring out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 possibilities. Thus the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 might be characterized by how it presents time, space, and knowledge. Whatever is \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctrue\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (and even indisputable) in terms of the temporal order derives its truth from \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcconforming\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. The knowledge inherent in the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 unfolds in a certain way, and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcreality\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 follows suit. As the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfounder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of the prevailing \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 operates in all aspects of being, giving the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcrealness\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of the real. <\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Codes of conduct, means of inquiry, and laws of nature all \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcembody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the knowledge of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in a way that determines the structure of both the known world and its knower\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Once adopted, certain of these structures are identified as absolute, in the sense of being presupposed in all acts of knowing. The initial attribution of knowledge to a self, the existence of self and world\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Conventional knowledge is an <\/em>expression<\/em> of the world or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 within which it arises, and would change if that \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 changed\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

The knowledge \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcof\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclogos\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 shapes the possible like a parent transmitting genetic coding to the next generation. It gives form to time and space, like an architect directing a builder in how to utilize construction materials\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcKnowledge of Time and Space\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, by Tarthang Tulku, p. 411-2, (1987, Dharma Pub.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Ken\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poem below, no matter how hard things seem now, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the open possibility at the edge of the future, the point where the future takes form in the moment\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that openness, from which all possibilities are spawned. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s this moment in the continuum that Ken is pointing to, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The humble moment, when seen as time, space, and knowledge, is a target worth aiming at. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the vital center of the universe; if we hit it, we explode everything that prevents fulfilment, attaining everything that fulfills.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em> Tarthang Tulku

This Day’s Logos<\/strong>
\n\tBy Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

Sing-song sorrow ways
\nFloat on in this morning<\/p>\n

Dull weight builds on the brow,
\nTouch to ease,
\nBut it won’t leave,
\nIt stays,
\nAnd the gut tightens,
\nAnd my work slows,<\/p>\n

And, ordinarily calm,
\nI’m ready to scream,
\nAnd the low thudding
\nOf the dishwasher
\nIntensifies,
\nThe same with its gurgling,
\nLouder harsher awful scrunching.
\nIt will be the same
\nWhen the load is done.<\/p>\n

And I am alone
\nAnd useless.<\/p>\n

I tell myself to do something,
\nI say sure, but I don’t mean it.<\/p>\n

I don’t mean anything today.
\nNot a speck, not a wrinkle,
\nBut I bet something shows up
\nThat will flat out knock me down.<\/p>\n

The dishwasher begins to whistle,
\nThat’s a start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
