Becoming Aware of the Logos: The Way of St. John the Evangelist

"To become aware of the Logos is to become aware of the Logos in oneself.... The world speaks. Before all else, it utters speaking itself. Or does speaking utter the world." So begin the first two chapters of this inspired, existential meditation on the contemporary meaning of the message of St. John: "In the beginning was the Word."

Through this Word--Logos--all things became. In it was life, the light of human beings. It shown I the darkness, and the darkness received it not. It was in the world, and the world did not know it. It entered individual being, and, to those who received it, it gave the ability to become the children of God. Its radiance was seen, full of grace and truth.

The fruit of many years of study and meditation, Becoming Aware of the Logos places the reader in the world of living thinking and cognitive love. It teaches the way of grace and truth in a radical, original manner. For the Logos, although it is the ground of any true logic, is beyond ordinary dialectic. The author does not approach his subject conventionally, but penetrates and communicates it by unfolding central themes such as: the Logos in the beginning; the light in the darkness; the speaker; life; spirit; grace; and truth.

"A single human being has no reality; the existence of 'man' begins with the word that floats between I and you. The Logos connects human beings through the Word; all else is temptation or a temporary connection." -- Georg K hlewind

Becoming aware of the light of the world

Preface to a review: Achtung!For an Alexandrian Didaskalos, who only through the grace of the Lord, could pursue his ministry; this book was fresh air to my thought and confirmation to the penetrating and discerning power of the word of God; "living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12. This may be said since I call on the scholars and peritos to amend and supplement.Notes on Chapters' notes:Even if G. Kuhlewind moves gracefully between the milestones of his spiritual science teaching on the Word, the light, life, and the spirit he could not but reveal his thought in method and goal in "The Church." His notes include Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, Allgemiene Ikongraphie, R. Steiner's erchomenos, Radiance and seeing through a mirror (1Cor 13:12) explain the phenomena of the modern mystic. The book milieu:Georg Kuhlewind, author of Stages of Consciousness, Meditations on the boundaries of the soul, is a student of John the beloved disciple through his long occupation with his Gospel. He admits that in spite of his insights that he shared in this book, that no interpretation is final, a wise cautionary statement.The book background was dominated by Rilke, whose quotations were displayed on the top of book's first nine chapters.Rainer Maria Rilke, writer and poet, is considered one of the greatest lyric poets of modern Germany. Rilke's "object poem" describes with utmost clarity physical objects, the "silence of their concentrated reality." Closing Appetizer:The mystical philosopher concludes with variations on john the Baptist, whom John the beloved followed before meeting Jesus:"He, who is the spirit of the Logos in me, whom I perceive must increase. I, my ego being, must decrease. I must prepare the ways and make straight the paths for Him who comes after me, whose messenger as an ego-being I am the messenger of the light of the world,"
