logos

Sure, happy to share! I'll try my best to explain but sorry if it's long. My parents were both raised by abusive Catholics so they are very anti Christian, being raised by them made me very judgmental…

Is there a UX role in existence that doesn't involve so much documentation? — So I come from a background in design. I was a bit of a generalist before—branding, logos, layouts, art direction—and while that was fun, it started to feel fragile. Like I was always one trend away f…

Duplicate Websites: One Ranks, One Tanks — I own two small‑town dental practices and spun up two nearly identical websites for them. Same structure, images, and copy, just different color schemes and logos. The site for Practice A ranks nicely…

The successful are not here — After years of watching YouTube videos about startup / founder stuff and reading blogs, Reddit, and the horrible place that is LinkedIn, I came to realize that 99.9% of advice (especially in the SaaS …

Stoic Polytheism — Hello Friends! I have a question regarding the theology of the Classical Stoics. Did they hold a mere pantheism, with 'the Gods' merely being different names of one and the same Logos? Or, are they as…

Bi-location experience: Dark areas of the sun aka gravitational anomalies of the sub-logos — This was more a targeted bi-location/ongoing visions than astral projection, but for me there tends to come a point where bi-location can cross over into full astral projection. I'm one of those peop…

Stoic apatheia looks like integration from the outside but is single-pole ego management of emotion, not dipolarity — **The Stoic sage achieves equanimity by bringing all emotional response under rational governance:** the passions are not *eliminated* but *disciplined* by logos. From the outside this looks identical…

A veces pienso aunque no mucho en voz alta que no todas las madres merecen serlo. — Pueden cambiar los nombres si lo creen conveniente. La verdad no sé bien como contar esta historia, así que lo haré como una carta a mi madre porque no sé si tenga el valor de leerla o entregarla per…

There are several reasons: 1. The original sources are extremely incomplete. We have *none* of the major foundational works in full, and instead rely entirely on second hand (often highly abbreviated…

Yes. As you say there are different aspects to Stoicism, which will lead to different types. There is a rugged Stoics who experience the ills of the world and march on relentlessly with acceptance. …

John says Jesus is the Logos incarnate so I feel this is relevant: if someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. We can expect the world to be evil just as Marcus Aurelius says…

Astral projection is something we should all be capable of. For me it goes back to religious teachings that everything not included in their texts is of the devil. Makes so many people terrified of th…

I thought the logos, which permeates all things, is what gives us the capacity to be rational

Yes. The *logos* is the rational structure of reality, and human reason is a part of nature.

So the logos is rational, but does that mean that reason permeates through the logos?

The Stoic universe operates as a singular, rational organism governed by Pneuma, a divine breath or reason that structures all matter. This universal reason, or Logos, is perfect and consistent. Howev…

There's a lot to be said and I'm sure others will comment too. I just want to point out that we can't consider the entire De Natura Deorum as a presentation of Stoicism. Book 2 is indeed favourable t…

>I just want to point out that we can't consider the entire De Natura Deorum as a presentation of Stoicism. Book 2 is indeed favourable to Stoicism, but Book 3 is a refutation, even if the character s…

> Ahh that's true. I guess my next question would be like: insofar as all things are a local instantiation of the Logos, would all things also be a 'god'? I'm assuming 'the Gods' would be a kind of pe…

> But I’m feeling a lot of anxiety about handing in my resignation next week. I think it’s tied to not wanting to disappoint the owners or let anyone down. > From a Stoic perspective, how would you a…

Compañero todos aquí hemos concluido que los comportamientos son conclusiones no causas. ¿Cómo es posible que gente que lleva años estudiando no lo haya visto? ¿Cómo pueden ser psicologos y educadores…

Geeze. I would have sent her a letter with NASA logos printed on it, from their chief scientist telling her the exact gps location of her ass and telling where to shove her invoice.

The logos wants us to be virtuous as it is the greatest good. When we take responsibility, act with virtue, and focus on what we can control, we live with “arête” - a Greek word for a type of Nirvana.…

Tbh we won't know how OP looks unless he tries on some fits. Plus he might have his own style to suit to so there's no right or wrong atm. Ultimately, it's dressing clean and matching top and bottom…

Is the fear of death (and the expenditure of resources and actions against it) a trend? One could fairly declare it to be among the central features of human activity. The Stoics didn't oppose acting…

Thanks for checking it out, I'm glad you enjoyed the post! I'll have a look at Shadow and Bone and Warrior Nun. I'm always in search of good stories/events to cover (I keep a list). I'm glad you ment…

I listened to the audiobook of Sam Harris' Waking Up a number of years ago. I recently, as in yesterday, finished the audiobook for a second time. I spent a bit of time last night searching for how do…

The prosecho point is exactly right, and I think it is the bridge between nondual insight and Stoic practice. Sam Harris can show you the self is not what you thought it was. Stoicism then asks what y…

In Stoicism there is the concept of the Logos. It's a devine logic that governs the universe. It extends from the Atomosts and is a primordial expression of materialism. Stoicism suggests we cannot ch…

Not a Christian in any orthodox sense, but psychedelics has allowed me to have a broader spiritual perspective with experiencing consciousness beyond the illusion of “myself” and have greater resonanc…

I don't even wanna respond to this because I've had this debate probably a million times irl and your tone tells me I can't change your mind. However I think it's important to clarify what God is. The…

*This tension is real and it's not accidental. Marcus was a Stoic, and the Stoics never fully resolved the free will problem — they lived with the contradiction deliberately.* *The framework they use…

can you say you're staying at a friends house? if not, would she buy it if you came up with some ongoing, regular educational or future career seminar - then you could register a domain name and set …

Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. I was raised Catholic so I tend to relate "The Lady" to the Virgin Mary. But I also think she's the Mysterious Mother of the Dao that Laozi menti…

Well they weren’t materialist. They believed in a kind of divine force, the logos, that ordered the universe. They believed that this structure moved them to act with virtue, because doing so would be…

The key bridge is their concept of logos -- they saw rationality as literally woven into the fabric of matter, not sitting above it. So for them, living according to nature was not passive acceptance …

The thread is circling something that the Stoics were not alone in wrestling with. The leap from "the universe is material" to "you ought to live virtuously" is one of the oldest problems in moral phi…
