Logos in Greek philosophy and theology is a very complex, enormously rich, and fascinating doctrine from where the idea of God comes from. It is the universal ordering principal, the divine reason implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form and meaning. It is the word, the discourse, the ultimate system, universal language, mediation…
The Pythagoreans and Neoplatonists told us that the logos is not made of mathematics. Mathematics is the universal, a very precise and accurate language that we use to understand, measure, experience, and transmit it. The logos is expressed in fields, phenomena, systems, balance, symmetry, ratios, energy and visual patterns, frequencies, processes, relationships, aesthetics, order, harmony… We experience it as music, sound, sacred geometry, mathematical constants, fractals, tessellation patterns, psychedelic visual patterns…
I believe that the most impactful, indispensable, and useful aspect of logos to humans seems to be sound (music and harmony included) and to be specific it is the harmonic series — the blueprint of sound. The reason why it is so because we’re dealing with acoustics — physics that impact our consciousness, in form of entrainment, more than anything else. So it is not surprising to find music in all kinds of traditional contexts—religious, spiritual, holistic, and cultural—for various purposes and occasions in entertainment, worship, meditation, and rituals of healing, trance, and possession.
