The challenge to humans to keep up with the Logos as it grows

This concept was around before Christianity, and will be there ahead of the postmodern future. However, I not really debating that line of specifics exactly. Instead, I am just looking to point out the way in which the mechanism acts. To that point, it is an organic, growing phenomenon (that is the foundation of all sub-phenomena), and that this is seen acting moment to moment in real-time, with the constant break-neck expansion of information and language, which will either be the bane or blessing for the species

So if the word is made flesh, it is possible that our languages, and the data sets they form, might actually be the real 'organisms,' and humans are only the mediums that they dwell within. If a language on earth can be said to have goals, can be said to contain concepts, even if no one spoke it or knew it, then there is arguably something more transcendent about it than there is about any human speaker of it. (though of course, it obviously finds it useful to render its information unto flesh)

Another issue with that, is that we don't know if it is foisting new ideas and information upon us, or if we are doing the dirty work for it. But the word is made flesh, implicating the idea that it itself is the auto-didactic generator, and we only tag along for the ride, if we can. Which leads me to a more major point about our modern social issues, where the blame is squarely put on our changing informational foundation. A better word, would be that this foundation is expanding, in that we clearly see more of everything, in everything, than anyone ever could imagine 100 years ago. The word will then grapple with being born into flesh

Maybe the Word of God is God's will, God's thoughts, God's imagination... God's Word became flesh when God's Word became our reality?

Please explain how a "word" can become flesh. I have spoken the word Unicorn over and over again but no Unicorn has come. Please help me with this.

Sure. You are a figment of God's imagination, God is imagining you frustrated by imagining unicorns that never come. :)

Or are the Unicorns trying to imagine me imagining them and I have just become entwined with their reality. Could this be the Goddess instead of the God and how would you know?

Unicorns and mermaids are tricky, don't trust them trusting you. Just saying.

Well, "flesh" is anything you see and any idea you have. That unicorn became part of the fabric of existence as soon as you imagined it, or as soon as the Logos set it in your mind. It probably will only become more real in the future, as perhaps with gene editing they will make your unicorn. As it is now, it is part of movies, images, virtual reality, and myth. It is only waiting to be born even more
