       Have you really stopped and thought just what a
pathetic and tiny thing the "Personal" is?  The Personal is
having desires and aims with oneself as the chief
beneficiary and focus - the rest of the universe is not a
concern at all.   Is this the qualities of a a god or Logos?
INDIVIDUALITY is a different thing than personality.  Of
necessity, the individualities of any beings superior to us
humans do not have any Personal concerns, their
concerns or motivation is being in perfect harmony in their
actions with the rest of existence and its direction (plus
whatever other concerns we can't imagine!) - no Selfish or
Personal motivations.   Some humans escape the
Personal, let alone gods.
     Why would we identify the "Cosmic Logos" with
Sat-chit-ananda?    Which Logos are you refering to?
Blavatsky gives 3.

MYSTERY SCHOOLS  -  IMHO to have  the basis for a
Mystery School, you have to have one thing - someone
who is "enlightened" or "Initiated" in the sense that they
have went through a particular level of mystic experience -
they have become self-conscious in their human/manas
part of their own human monad.  This is the "death on the
cross" in the Jesus myth, which is the death of the
personal ego.    It's serious and dangerous stuff.  Its good
to remember that all the 70 some who tried for chelahood
except one (Damodar) were big wopping failures with
ruined lives.  Grace Knoche wrote a booklet on Mystery
Schools which was available on the net somewhere... (I
haven't read it yet...)
       BRANT:   If I were you, I'd go out and buy all
Blavatsky's writings (and Purucker and Judge) and find
out what is in them on Mystery Schools.   Personally, I
wouldn't trust CWL, Hodson or any in the
Neo-Theosophical school - but that is your business.
