"True mysticism is not, and cannot be, a private affair. It is by nature redemptive, as Christ is, and so we must become Christ, enacting the resurrection of the living Cosmic Christ in our beings and then our actions, to transform society and bring healing to all its suffering, broken parts through love, imagination, peacemaking, and environmental, moral, and social justice."
Restoring the mystical mind of compassion (the Christian work of love) can bring a global renaissance to the entire world, including every aspect of society, from religion to sexuality, from peace-making and disarmament to mentoring the young.
The Cosmic Christ is the Logos.
The Cosmic Christ IS "The One".
The Cosmic Christ is "the pattern that connects" (in the words of anthropologist Gregory Bateson, in "Steps to an Ecology of Mind", and quoted by Matthew Fox in "The Coming of the Cosmic Christ")
The Cosmic Christ is the pattern that interconnects everything that is. It is the pattern that holds the Oneness of being.
Human beings can incarnate or become the Cosmic Christ in their own personal being, by becoming attuned to the divine template or divine pattern.
"Logos designates the power of 'reason;' the pattern or order of things; the principle of relationship; and an articulation of something."
In general, the Logos has the following meanings: 1.) Order or pattern. 2.) Ratio or proportion. 3.) A discourse, articulation or account, even a 'sermon.' 4.) Reason, both in the sense of rationality and in the sense of an articulation of the cause of something. 5.) Principle or cause (logoi=principles, ratios, reasons). 6.) A principle of mediation and harmony between extremes."
Let us contemplate the one simple nature of that peaceful unity which joins all things to itself and to each other, preserving them in their distinctiveness and yet linking them together in a universal and unconfused alliance.

The Coming of the Cosmic Christ: The Healing of Mother Earth And the Birth of a Global Renaissance
How the environmental crisis awakens us to a substantive and non-sentimental Christology—how the Cosmic Christ is the image of God in all being and how killing forests and other creatures is crucifying the Christ all over again.
