Logos
Fohat-is the term very commonly used in theosophy to designate the Deity. Along with the great religions, theosophy has as the beginning of its scheme a Deity who, in Himself, is altogether beyond human knowledge or conception, whether in the ordinary or the clairvoyant states. But when the Deity manifests Himself to man through his works of creation, He is known as the Logos. Essentially He is infinite but when He encloses a "ringpass-not" within which to build a kosmos, He has set limits to Himself, and what we can know of Him is contained in these limits. To us He appears in a triple aspectthe Christian Trinity-but this is, of course, merely an appearance, and in reality He is a unity. This triple aspect shews Him as Will, Wisdom and Activity, and from each of these came forth one of the creative life waves which formed the universe. From the third came the wave which created matter, from the second, the wave which aggregated diffuse matter into form, and from the first, the wave which brought with it the Monad, that scintillation of Himself which took posession of formed matter, to start thereby the evolutionary process.
