The whole & the many
Logosianism
A philosophical religion exploring God, existence, knowledge, and humanity’s place within the whole.
Our mission
To pursue understanding through reason, experience, and shared inquiry; to cultivate a meaningful life through the Seven Currents; and to carry what we learn into our care for one another and the world.
No question is forbidden. No conclusion is beyond examination.
Unus, Logos, and the many
Unus expresses oneness and duality: the many belong to a single whole. Each person brings a distinct life, perspective, and body of experience to that whole.
Logos connects the search for understanding with reason, relation, and pattern. Learning continues through the experiences we gather, the questions we ask, and the relationships we discover.
Liber Logorum
Liber Logorum, The Book of Logic, is the text of Logosianism. It explores Unus, Logos, the cosmos, knowledge, ethics, meaningful life, the Seven Currents, and continuance.
Its approach is exploratory. Understanding remains open to examination and to what has yet to be learned.
The First Aedes
The house of worship and study in Logosianism is an Aedes. The first sanctuary is Aedes Sapientiae Prima, the First Aedes.
Logosianism is founded and led by Everett Chase, serving as President under the title The Logosian, Legate Gannicus.
The Aedes brings the Seven Currents together through study, service, teaching, and spiritual practice.
