I also say to myself (sometimes as just a whisper)bro i like the prayer and i looked at hesychasm and oddly enough i believe that. i mean mass congregation is good and serves its purpose but prayer is the most sentimental fragile thing you can do in life and that should be treated very carefully and yeah for sure its a sacred thing. most do yoga and meditation they could do with the peace that a prayer will give you.
props.
"Create in my heart a clean spirit after your likeness Lord"
as a father, I'm realizing that without God I am nothing, and nothing that I propose to do will be successful without the hand of God
the reason I found orthodoxy was the perception change and the understanding of creative speech as it pertains to the world we live in. I stopped trying to define God but rather started trying to understand myself as it pertains to God. Once you realize you are the separation the perspective shift becomes complete
1 Corinthians 3:16-23
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
