The ''Logos'', or both the unmanifested and the manifested {{Style S-Small capitals|Word}}, is called by the Hindus, Iswara, “ the Lord,” though the Occultists give it another name. Iswara, say the Vedantins, is the highest consciousness in nature. “ This highest consciousness,” answer the Occultists, “ is only a ''synthetic unit ''in the world of the manifested Logos — or on the ''plane of illusion ; ''for it is the sum total of Dhyan-Chohanic ''consciousnesses.''” “ Oh, wise man, remove the conception ''that not-Spirit is Spirit'',” says Sankarâchârya. Atma is ''not-Spirit ''in its final Parabrahmic state, ''Iswara ''or ''Logos ''is Spirit ; or, as Occultism explains, it is a compound unity of manifested living Spirits, the parent-source and nursery of all the mundane and terrestrial monads, ''plus ''their ''divine ''reflection, which emanate from, and return into, the Logos, each in the culmination of its time.
