In the end, Rigs, the Logos moves us as we allow. What "pure" means, may differ between us. I look at the world around me in the moment and its occurances, and what I see and hear evokes meaning for me. I express this meaning to you, and Logos moves between us. If none of this is separate, there is a flow creating my state and experience now. Defining and separating the parts, allowing some parts to oppose others, creates a cascade of complication in the experience. I prefer mine a bit simpler. The older I am, the more simple minded I become it seems.
