^..thank you for that Meddling Monk..
the ancient 'glossolalia' posted earlier relates to the magical chanting mentioned..

..the Logos is indeed an interesting word, for which there isn't a direct modern equivalent..in ancient usage it evidently didn't simply mean 'word'..it's also translated sometimes as 'the voice'..
'the Word heard inside' is one interpretation, and early christians/gnostics often saw it as the Christos...i.e Christ is the Logos is the word...but i like the expanded definition given in the quote above..

Terence (M) was fond of the Logos as a conjectural idea...
and of the nature of the dmt experience in which "meaning is beheld"..
the information is in the form of objectified translinguistic objects..so in a sense this could be seen as a more complete form of Logos.."order, pattern, ratio, reason, mediation, and harmony"...the expanded language level of gnosis..

in the classical gnostic model, Wisdom (Sophia) is prior to ('above' ) Logos..
