Did you know about Origen?

This revelation the external self-emanation of God is expressed by Origen in various ways the Logos being only one of many. At first devoted to the contemplation and love of their creator almost all of these intelligences eventually grew bored of contemplating God their love for him cooling off. Origen distinctly emphasised the independence of the Logos as well as the distinction from the being and substance of God.
