Philo had many titles for the "Logos":
This theology, which is independently found in the Egyptian Hermetica from the same time period and the writings of Plutarch, was chosen by the first Christian intellectuals as the vehicle for their own spiritual expression. As an expositor of the "Logos" doctrine, Philo's writings are appropriately filled with hundreds of examples of number symbolism, for Number was seen as an ordering principle at work in the cosmos; Number is thus allied with the ordering principle of "Logos", which was also studied in a mathematical sense. For this reason, in one revealing passage, Clement of Alexandria refers to his predecessor as simply Philo "the Pythagorean." Early Christians were themselves interested in the scientific portrayal of the "Logos", which they expressed through the numerical language of Greek gematria.
Despite his prolific output, Philo was a synthesizer and not an "original thinker," and the value of his work resides in this simple fact. While learned in the traditions of the day, the ideas and symbolism which Philo employs were "in the air," and he was not an innovator; as one scholar notes, "anything philosophical to be found in his writings can confidently be taken as genuine teaching of his environment." In this respect, Philo's work sheds an especially important light on the ancient "Logos" teaching, for it is possible to infer from his writings, and those of his contemporaries, the central patterns of Hellenistic cosmology.
the "Logos" is God's Likeness, by whom the whole kosmos was fashioned.-Philo Judaeus
We speak of God, of the Son [Logos], his Word, and of the holy Spirit; and we say that the Father, the Son [Logos], and the Spirit are united in power. For the Son [Logos] is the intelligence, reason, and wisdom of the Father, and the Spirit is an effluence, as light from fire. In the same way we recognize that there are other powers which surround matter and pervade it.-Athenagoras, early Christian apologist
In Hellenistic cosmology, the First Cause [God] was envisioned as transcending human understanding. In the Republic, Plato suggested that it was even "beyond Being," a notion which was to have considerable influence for well over a millennium. The Pythagoreans portrayed the first principle as the Monad, indicating that it is both a primeval Unity and apart (monas) from all other things, transcending time, space, and the multiplicity of the phenomenal world. As Clement of Alexander succinctly notes, "The First Cause is not then in space, but above both space, and time, and name and conception" (Clement of Alexander, Stromata, 5.11; in Ante-Nicean Fathers, II, 461). While all things have a relation to it, this primeval Source (archê) was never envisioned as a "personal God," or as a thinking and planning divinity like YHWH, the God of the Old Testament, who consciously decided to create the universe. For the Greeks, the Supreme Principle is utterly simple, and superior to conscious thought and decision-making, even though it is symbolically identified with the power of Cosmic Mind in some writings.
As Origen notes, "The Word can also be 'the Son' because he announces the secrets of the Father, who is 'Mind' (Nous) analogous to the Son who is called 'Word' (Logos). For as the word (Logos=Reason) in us is the messenger of what the mind perceives, so the Word of God, since he has known the Father, reveals the Father whom he has known, because no creature can come into contact with him without a guide" (Origin, Commentary on John 1.278). When reading these Hellenistic texts of the early Church Fathers it is important to remember that Nous or Mind on a cosmological level represents the principle of pure Intelligence [God] itself and is superior to the activity of discursive reasoning, mental analysis, etc. Therefore, God can be pure Mind without engaging in inferior activities such as thinking, planning, and decision making; nonetheless, it is through the cultivation of divine Logos in the human soul that we are led upward toward the recognition of the Highest. This path requires study, meditation, and prayer upon the things revealed by the First Cause to this realm of Change.
Because of its abundant perfection, the Source [First Cause in the Realm of Being] unconditionally gives forth a secondary principle, the "Logos", in the same way that the sun gives forth rays of light. Now we need to better understand how the Sun was the picture of the Logos. The "Logos" is not the First Cause, any more than rays of light "are" the sun, but nonetheless the two are very intimately related.
In this ancient teachng, the "Logos" is the first, harmonically differentiated "image" of the First Cause (God). The "Logos" represents the first level of the real manifestation of the realm of Being that is made visible in our realm of Changeand this is done through the actions of humanity, for it encompasses within itself all the laws and relations which are later articulated in the phenomenal universe. Since the "Logos" is the emanation of the Transcenddent Absoluste (God), then the Logos may be poetically and allegorically be described as "the Son of God" [NOT TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE LITERAL SON OF GOD], as we see in the works of Philo, the Hermetic writings of Egypt, and early Christianity.
Again that means that any application of the "Logos" to Jesus must be understood only in an allegorical sense and not a literal sense; Jesus is not God!
Underlying the source of all reality, the "Logos" is related to the principle of Nous [Mind] or Universal Intellect, the "repository" of all the cosmic Forms and principles on which creation is based. And the "Logos," as the rational image of Divine Intellect, dwells within all humanity in the form of billions of incarnated images of this "Logos." Notice I said "humanity" and not just one person. Again we see that the goal of all humanity is to reflect and manifest this "Logos" in this world. Some men and women who observe and manifest the Order of the realm of Being as expressed in the Laws of the realm of Being exert a Heavenly effect upon this realm of Change through their obedience to these Laws of God.
Matt 5:17-19 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (KJV)
Jesus was believed to be one of the best examples of this manifestation of the Divine "Logos" among men as recognized by his followers and those who knew him best. This does not make Jesus God however; only very Godly. Said another way, Jesus revealed God the Father to men like few could.
John 14:9 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? (KJV)
Simply said Jesus was living a totally surrendered life to the will of God and His Laws that in an allegorical way one could look upon Jesus and the works (obedience to Laws and Commandments of God) and symbolically see God among men.
John 14:10 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (KJV)
I would hope you can look at the above passage and see clearly now how that part of the Father that was in Jesus was only the "Logos" to which Jesus was surrendered; in a way surrendered to the will and principles of Heaven more than others around whom he lived. That is why he stood out among men.
Again this is not ever to be taken as if literal for to do such renders one an idolator and sadly this has become the very foundation of Gentile Christianity.
This again does not make him God or should make him the object of worship. When such was done later by those who either went to far or failed to grasp the true understanding of the "Logos" then idolatry and blasphemy results from the failure to understand properly the "Logos" doctrine as expressed in the Gospel of John and the writings of men like Plato and Philo.
According to Clement of Alexandria,
the image of God is His Word [Logos], the genuine Son of Mind, the Divine Word, the archetypal light of light; and the image of the Word is the true man, the mind which is in man, who is therefore said to have been made "in the image and likeness of God" (Clement of Alexander, Exhortation to the Greeks 10, Ante-Nicene Fathers, II, 199).
Let me say it very plainly. The Divine Will of the Creator in the realm of Being above which is the will of the First Cause, is related to man in this earth [the realm of change] by the "Logos" which is the mind of God which is within every man and woman. This will of the Creator/Father can be discerned if they listen to the still small voice within or seek it themselves through study, prayer, and meditation upon the things of God expressed through His Laws. This will of God exists within humanity and the hearts of mankind and emerges to control humanity when mankind sets his heart upon the things above and seeks God and tunes his heart and mind upon the things of God (So Above...So Beneath).
Invariably, the powers of Light and Life were associated with the nature of the "Logos" in Hellenistic thought, for these are among the most central principles in all of creation. Like the early Christians, the pagan cosmologists held that humanity was created in the "image" of God. To illustrate this, the Hermetic writings of Egypt present several schemes; in one of the more attractive versions, Eternity (Aeon) is said to be the image of God, Cosmos is the image of Eternity, the Sun is the image of Cosmos, and Man is the image of the Sun.' Because of these factors, the "Logos" has often been pictured in various cosmologies as Anthropos, the figure of the Perfect Man, the archetype and exemplar of humanity. As said before, those who knew Jesus best knew him to be the best that humanity and Judaism had to offer. He above all others lived the Torah and the Laws of God [the First Cause] better than any other [in their opinion]. Such Ordering Principles of Life expressed through God's Laws was not only his message but his life-style. Few if any exhibited such a pattern of the Divine among his fellow men. That is why Jesus is the Avatar of the Jewish nation and recognized such by his disciples and apostles and presented to the world in such a manner by those who knew him best.
But again Jesus as the Son of God [Logos] is to be understood in an allegorical manner and not a literal manner and worship is to be given to the First Cause and not the "Logos" manifested in different degrees within mankind; even Jesus!
