What are “logoi”?

SingularityOne · Oct 30, 2019

I’m reading “Therapy of Spiritual Illnesses” by Dr. Jean-Claude Larchet and get speaks for “logoi” as the “spiritual reasons” of things/objects/etc. - Due to our fallen nature, we see things subjectively in passion, however, as we grow in repentance and prayer towards humility, we start to see things objectively (due to our minds being subjected to God’s mind).

Is “logoi” the “objective reality” of things or beings at each present moment in space and time?

The logoi are the pre-eternal thoughts/ideas/blueprints in the mind of God that "define" the nature and purpose of every thing that exists.

Considering the material its found in about spiritual illness is it possible Logoi is being conflated with Logoismoi?
