the invisible dragon in our garage is not impermeable to flour
the teachingsphere looks for other worlds' understanding of the logos

Now that they have made interworld contact, the Teachingsphere is most interested in other worlds' understanding of the logos. Since the logos exists, it is obvious that other worlds must have also learned about it! But they presumably have discovered aspects of it that the Teachingsphere has not. The Teachingsphere likely has blind spots that other worlds can correct! Several hymns have been written about the infinite mercy of the logos to grant them this opportunity.

The logos is the creator of the universe. It is less the reason that physical laws are invariant and math works to describe the universe, and more the fact that these things are true. It is also objective morality; we know this because it functions similarly to math. Objective morality loves us, and so we know that the logos loves us. It is blasphemy to ask that the logos interfere with the world, which it has already designed perfectly for its purposes. However, there is a shard of the logos within each soul, which is how we are capable of understanding morality and math, and it is permitted to "ask the logos for guidance and strength," which is metaphysically really just connecting with that shard, but it is easier for people to think of transcendent entities as being people. 

Do other worlds have books which describe something like this? The Teachingsphere would like to make them available for publication.
