At any rate, the logos has always seemed to me to be the innate drive
toward <br>
self-organization (for doesn't that which steers all things through all
<br>
things necessarily include steering itself through itself? Sounds like
<br>
self-organization to me.)<br><br>
Logos is definitely one of the Heavy Words of the Western World. The
simple, literal translation is "word" -- but not to be compared
with idle chatter. If anybody recalls the opening of The Gospel According
to St. John... "In the beginning was the word (logos), and the word
was with God, and the word was God." Pretty heavy stuff. So if you
were an ancient Greek, Platonist, neo-platonist, or something of the sort
-- Logos would certainly be a handy tool when it came to talking about
the soft under belly of Open Space and Self-organization. Goodness me --
we're getting awful weird. Reminds me of a story somebody told me
about a Priest (Roman I think) who called up one of our colleagues with
the question, "Is Open Space a Cult?" Should he read some of
this stuff, he would be sure -- I wonder what the appropriate Exorcism
might be to get rid of all this?<br><br>
