Sub-Logos

A creative principle subordinate to a galactic Logos — typically a sun — using its parent Logos's intelligent energy to set the specific conditions of its own system.

What Ra means

Within a galaxy shaped by a Logos, each solar body functions as a sub-Logos: a creative principle that differentiates some experiential components within the patterns set by the larger Logos, without removing or adding to those foundational ways (29.2.2-3, 28.20.2). The planets of a solar system are all part of the same galactic Logos but are slightly and specifically different due to the presence of this sub-Logos (29.4.2-3). The hierarchy is therefore not a single broadcast but a cascade of nested creative intelligences, each working within the limits of the one above while exercising real free will within those limits.

The sub-Logos's chief role toward incarnating entities is to provide foundational catalyst. It supplies catalyst at the lower energy levels — the first triad of centers concerned with survival of the physical complex — and can offer only a basic skeleton of that catalyst. The higher energy centers gain catalyst from the biases of the maturing mind/body/spirit complex itself, not directly from the sub-Logos. As an entity develops, the connection thins further, until all catalyst is chosen, generated, and manufactured by the self (54.17.3-9). The sun-sub-Logos that structures the physical environment is thus most important to the early stages of growth; its influence wanes as the entity's own creative power grows.

Below the sun, the sub-sub-Logos resides not in dimensionalities but only in co-Creators — individual mind/body/spirit complexes — each of whom is themselves a creative principle within the hierarchy (54.5.2). The white light emanating from the sub-Logos is the raw substance of its creation; Ra pictures it as being prismatically separated into the seven rays, and at the end of an octave being absorbed back into the One Creator (40.1.3-9). The sub-Logos is thus both a parent of the physical world's structure and, ultimately, one more portion of the Creator returning to itself.

In Ra's words

Ra states that the sub-Logos differentiates experience within, not beyond, the Logos's design:

This is incorrect. The sub-Logos of your solar entity differentiated some experiential components within the patterns of intelligent energy set in motion by the Logos, which created the basic conditions and vibratory rates consistent throughout your, what you have called, major galaxy.

29.2.2-3

Ra describes the sub-Logos's role in providing catalyst and how that role diminishes as an entity matures:

The sub-Logos offers the catalyst at the lower levels of energy, the first triad; these have to do with the survival of the physical complex. The higher centers gain catalyst from the biases of the mind/body/spirit complex itself in response to all random and directed experiences.

Thus the less developed entity will perceive the catalyst about it in terms of survival of the physical complex, with the distortions which are preferred. The more conscious entity, being conscious of the catalytic process, will begin to transform the catalyst offered by the sub-Logos into catalyst which may act upon the higher energy nexi.

Thus the sub-Logos can offer only a basic skeleton, shall we say, of catalyst. The muscles and flesh—having to do with the, shall we say, survival of wisdom, love, compassion, and service—are brought about by the action of the mind/body/spirit complex on basic catalyst so as to create a more complex catalyst which may, in turn, be used to form distortions within these higher energy centers.

The more advanced the entity, the more tenuous the connection between the sub-Logos and the perceived catalyst until, finally, all catalyst is chosen, generated, and manufactured by the self, for the self.

54.17.3-9

Ra pictures the white light of the sub-Logos flowing outward into creation and eventually being absorbed back into the Creator:

The concept of the white light of the sub-Logos being prismatically separated and later, at the final chapter, being absorbed again is basically correct. However, there are subtleties involved which are more than semantic.

The white light which emanates and forms the articulated sub-Logos has its beginning in what may be metaphysically seen as darkness. The light comes into that darkness and transfigures it, causing the chaos to organize and become reflective or radiant. Thus the dimensions come into being.

Conversely, the blackness of the black hole, metaphysically speaking, is a concentration of white light being systematically absorbed once again into the One Creator. Finally, this absorption into the One Creator continues until all the infinity of creations have attained sufficient spiritual mass in order that all form, once again, the Great Central Sun, if you would so imagine it, of the intelligent infinity awaiting potentiation by Free Will.
