You woke up early with a flash-vision: characters - many characters/personalities connect in the chapter and the many characters connect through the medium of characters/letters (alphabet). This is a sense of how Miss Havisham's environment works. Each personality is as a letter in the alphabet. Thus, all the personalities in the novel connect in a social construction the soul (system of souls) understands - an intricate system similar with a thought construction. Each character/person is as a noun/verb sequence to the soul. Noun/verb is as emotion/reason or heartanmind. - Amorella
0522 hours. I awoke about 0455 thinking - soul thought environment. This communication analogy above/here (two paragraphs) deals with thought construction via a flash-vision. A human personality in the novel is as a grammatical thought construction beginning with a simple noun and verb -- a simple metaphysical mindanheart construction from a soul's perspective. The soul encases each mindansoul as a sentence. The heartansoulanmind is a sentence, a life-long and never-ending novel analogy for who knows what reasons. Biblically, "I am the Word".

(Reference to John 1:1 and John 20:30-31)
By starting out his gospel stating, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,” John is introducing Jesus with a word or a term that both his Jewish and Gentile readers would have been familiar with. The Greek word translated “Word” in this passage is Logos, and it was common in both Greek philosophy and Jewish thought of that day. For example, in the Old Testament the “word” of God is often personified as an instrument for the execution of God’s will (Psalm 33:6; 107:20; 119:89; 147:15-18). So, for his Jewish readers, by introducing Jesus as the “Word,” John is in a sense pointing them back to the Old Testament where the Logos or “Word” of God is associated with the personification of God’s revelation. And in Greek philosophy, the term Logos was used to describe the intermediate agency by which God created material things and communicated with them. In the Greek worldview, the Logos was thought of as a bridge between the transcendent God and the material universe. Therefore, for his Greek readers the use of the term Logos would have likely brought forth the idea of a mediating principle between God and the world.

The above is how you piece these concepts together. A spiritual/religious/cultural rational on which to base a fictional analogy construction. Such is your natural bent, your humor - a fictional construction of a heartansoulanmind in the three-dimensional physical construction with the material body being as a shell (a protector-wall) like the soul is as a shell (protector-wall) for the heartanmind. - Amorella
0553 hours. Thank you, Amorella for better construction of my raw thinking concepts and analogies.
Morning. You are waiting for Ann F. across from the Bethany United Church of Christ off I-71 and SR. 123 not too far from the new Flying J gas station on the east side of the freeway. - Amorella
1047 hours. I re-read the above and though a couple of errors in grammar it is understandable and not so crazing sounding as I might have imagined. Ann is running late so eventually we'll have to go on so Carol can meet with Morata and I can meet with Bud.
Evening. Carol did have lunch with Morata and you had lunch with Bud. Tonight, you watched a 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Rachel Maddow'.
2253 hours. I need to place a definition of 'logos' here in reference to the 'Got Questions' piece above.

Logos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Logos (UK: /ˈloʊɡɒs,
Ancient Greek philosophy
Stoics
Stoic philosophy began with Zeno of Citium c. 300 BC, in which the logos was the active reason pervading and animating the Universe. It was conceived as material and is usually identified with God or Nature. The Stoics also referred to the seminal logos("logos spermatikos"), or the law of generation in the Universe, which was the principle of the active reason working in inanimate matter. Humans, too, each possess a portion of the divine logos.[29]
The Stoics took all activity to imply a logos or spiritual principle. As the operative principle of the world, the logos was anima mundi to them, a concept which later influenced Philo of Alexandria, although he derived the contents of the term from Plato.[30]In his Introduction to the 1964 edition of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, the Anglican priest Maxwell Staniforth wrote that "Logos ... had long been one of the leading terms of Stoicism, chosen originally for the purpose of explaining how deity came into relation with the universe".[31]
In Hellenistic Judaism
Philo of Alexandria
Philo (c. 20 BC – c. 50 AD), a Hellenized Jew, used the term Logos to mean an intermediary divine being or demiurge.[7] Philo followed the Platonic distinction between imperfect matter and perfect Form, and therefore intermediary beings were necessary to bridge the enormous gap between God and the material world.[33] The Logos was the highest of these intermediary beings, and was called by Philo "the first-born of God".[33] Philo also wrote that "the Logos of the living God is the bond of everything, holding all things together and binding all the parts, and prevents them from being dissolved and separated".[34]
Plato's Theory of Forms was located within the Logos, but the Logos also acted on behalf of God in the physical world.[33] In particular, the Angel of the Lord in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) was identified with the Logos by Philo, who also said that the Logos was God's instrument in the creation of the Universe.[33]
Christianity
In Christology, the Logos (Greek: Λόγος, lit. ''Word", "Discourse", or "Reason'')[35] is a name or title of Jesus Christ, seen as the pre-existent second person of the Trinity. The concept derives from John 1:1, which in the Douay–Rheims, King James, New International, and other versions of the Bible, reads:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Islam
The concept of the logos also exists in Islam, where it was definitively articulated primarily in the writings of the classical Sunnimystics and Islamic philosophers, as well as by certain Shi'a thinkers, during the Islamic Golden Age.[70][71] In Sunni Islam, the concept of the logos has been given many different names by the denomination's metaphysicians, mystics, and philosophers, including ʿaql ("Intellect"), al-insān al-kāmil ("Universal Man"), kalimat Allāh ("Word of God"), haqīqa muḥammadiyya ("The Muhammadan Reality"), and nūr muḥammadī ("The Muhammadan Light").
Jung's analytical psychology
Carl Jung contrasted the critical and rational faculties of logos with the emotional, non-reason oriented and mythical elements of eros.[81] In Jung's approach, logos vs eros can be represented as "science vs mysticism", or "reason vs imagination" or "conscious activity vs the unconscious".[82]
For Jung, logos represented the masculine principle of rationality, in contrast to its female counterpart, eros:
Woman’s psychology is founded on the principle of Eros, the great binder and loosener, whereas from ancient times the ruling principle ascribed to man is Logos. The concept of Eros could be expressed in modern terms as psychic relatedness, and that of Logos as objective interest.[83]
Jung attempted to equate logos and eros, his intuitive conceptions of masculine and feminine consciousness, with the alchemical Sol and Luna. Jung commented that in a man the lunar anima and in a woman the solar animus has the greatest influence on consciousness.[84] Jung often proceeded to analyze situations in terms of "paired opposites", e.g. by using the analogy with the eastern yin and yang[85] and was also influenced by the Neoplatonists.[86]
In his book Mysterium Coniunctionis Jung made some important final remarks about anima and animus:
In so far as the spirit is also a kind of "window on eternity"... it conveys to the soul a certain influx divinus... and the knowledge of a higher system of the world, wherein consists precisely its supposed animation of the soul.
And in this book Jung again emphasized that the animus compensates eros, while the anima compensates logos.[87]

2326 hours. First, what comes to mind is this. 'Logos is the spiritual principle' also within the individual's heartansoulanmind, the human spirit. Second, the sentences immediately above are only intuitional imagination with no scientific validity.
