"Simran helps  in the withdrawal of spirit-currents from the body. In Simran lies the seed that helps in the development of the soul." "Simran is  a weapon against all dangers. It acts as a  password to all  spiritual planes. It gives strength and sustenance to the body and mind during trouble and affliction, and brings the soul near the  Master." "The five holy Words are to be repeated mentally during  meditation." (Sant Kirpal Singh)   "I give you this advice only because if you will do Simran while you are doing any other work, when you sit for meditation you won't have to sit for a long time repeating the Names to bring your attention to the seat of the soul. As soon as you sit for meditation, within a few minutes you will go up." (Santji - Ajaib Singh Ji)   In Sant Mat, the Path of the Masters, simran is the art of repeating a name or names of God in one's mind (manas jap) for the purpose of Remembering the Divine -- Practicing the Presence of God. It is a way to remain spiritually awake in a world of slumber, a way to remain centered and focused instead of being thrown off-center by the influences of maya (illusion). In this Path of the Saints and Mystics this spiritual exercise of repeating or chanting spiritually charged Names of God is done not only in meditation practice, but as often as possible throughout the day as a way to spiritualize all aspects of life, inner and outer. In Sant Mat, the simran (remembrance) of worldly thoughts is controlled through the Simran (remembrance) of the Charged Names, repeated by a satsangi throughout the day and when sitting for meditation as a means of collecting the thought currents at the Third Eye Center; also used as a password to higher planes and protection from Negative Power influences.

Eastern Orthodoxy is a complex religion with many cultural and historical influences. In this episode I break down some important history in the progression of Orthodox views on the Trinity and salvation, and why these views are misaligned with what the bible teaches. We will look at the evolution of church history via influences from pagan converts, Greek philosophy and parallels with mysticism.

Fr. David Randolph of blessed memory, talked about how much he and everyone enjoyed Q&A classes about his homily on Sunday afternoons.  Fr. Anthony decided to give it a shot.  It went pretty well, glory to God.  Then he segued into a summary of the lessons on pride, how Orthodoxy heals us from it, and introduced the topic of next week's topic - hesychasm.  Enjoy the show.!

Even learned commentators on the tarot are likely to point out at the fourteenth major arcana, Temperance, is a bit of a boring card. At least, it comes off as dull until you look at it closely, as JF and Phil do in this episode. What they find is that the Temperance card is actually a diagram, a kind of blueprint for a celestial machine that underlies human technology, beckoning us to restore even the most mechanical contraption to the raw weirdness at the source of everything.

Through the incarnation of Christ, His kenosis (emptying) makes our theosis (deification) possible. But, what is theosis? While Hanegraaff believes that theosis is the crown jewel of theology, he is aware that for many Christians theosis is a foreign concept and those who are aware of it all too often misunderstand it. Yet, if we ignore—or denounce—theosis than we miss the point of all theological speculation. Said Vladimir Lossky, ‘Christian theology is always in the last resort a means: a unity of knowledge subserving an end which transcends all knowledge. This ultimate end is union with God or deification.” For more information on Hank's view see Truth Matters, Life Matters More available for your partnering gift here. In short, theosis is best understood as the process of attaining an ever-deepening union with God—a process that begins during our lives on earth and extends into eternity. As we celebrate the incarnation it is critical to remember that Jesus Christ came not only to save us from death, but to give us life. Theosis is what our lives are for and the process through which we become fully human. For more information on receiving Fellow Workers With God: Orthodox Thinking on Theosis for your partnering gift please click here. Topics discussed include: Why do so many Christians denounce deification? (4:30); what is deification? (9:20); the difference between the essence and energies of God and why it matters (11:30); what does it mean to experience theosis? (15:00); the incarnation, theosis and kenosis (17:45); we can't do it alone—the ecclesial and sacramental nature of theosis (21:55); was the incarnation always intended to happen? (25:00); cooperation with God—some quintessential examples of theosis (32:05); self-transcendence and the communal experience of Christ—we cannot experience theosis on our own (38:25); the power of the Sacraments—chiefly the Eucharist (42:30); the Jesus Prayer and Hesychasm—seeking divine stillness through the contemplation of God in uninterrupted prayer (48:45).

In this homily offered on All Saints (and Father's Day; Matthew 10:32-33, 37-38; 19:27-30), Fr. Anthony begins by talking about the need to approach God apophatically in silence, and then to allow that perspective (and not the world) to determine our priorities, definitions, framings, etc.   He ends by encouraging everyone to foster communal relations through which we are continually pastoring and being pastored to.  Enjoy the show!

I podden Myter och Mysterier har mystikern Eric Schüldt gjort en observation som blir grunden för dagens samtal. Kyrkan bär på en Petruslinje och en Johanneslinje. Två olika sätt att vara kyrka, som ändå tillsammans utgör en enda gemenskap. En överlappande observation har gjorts av professorn i kyrkohistoria, Samuel Rubenson. Några uttryck för Petruslinjen är den offentliga bekännelsen, utläggningen och läran. Johanneslinjen lyfter snarare fram avskildheten, tystnaden och mysteriet som väg till gnosis. Detta sista avsnitt med prästen Peter Westermark blir en historisk resa fram och tillbaka sedan kyrkans födelse. Från Origenes, ökenfäderna och Gregorius av Nyssa, till östkyrkans Hesychasm och den västerländska mystikens olika uttryck i exempel som Meister Eckhart och Böhme. Vi diskuterar den språkbarriär som hindrade västkyrkan att ta del av östkyrkans mystik och när språkbarriären bröts, genom renässansen. I den medföljande texten till avsnittet tillkommer timestamps, som dels möjliggör större överblickbarhet, så att man kan se när i tiden olika händelser vi talar om äger rum, men också gör det möjligt för den mindre historieintresse att hoppa över dessa delar. Vår reflektion avslutas i gnosticismen och nyplatonismen. Vi frågar oss vad Gnosis egentligen är, och på vilket sätt gnosis alltid varit en självklar del i kyrkan. Därtill om vilka gnostiska texter, som när allt kommer kring, vi personligen uppfattar oss mest dragna till.

This episode was recorded on January 14th, 2022 Tammy Peterson welcomes back Jonathan Pageau once again to join in conversation together about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ through just a few of the vast array of symbols that take place during that story. These two also cover more on prayer, specifically the Jesus prayer of the eastern orthodox Philo Calia, the significance of the cup at the last supper and in the garden as Jesus prayed, the definition and practice of Hesychasm, and the importance of communion and community in the body of believers. Jonathan Pageau is a French Canadian symbolic thinker, YouTuber, editor of the Orthodox Arts Journal, an eastern orthodox icon carver extraordinaire, and explorer of how (underlying) symbolic patterns emerge, develop, and finally manifest in religion, art, pop culture, etc.

Today Snek and I cover the development of Roman / latin theology in the second millennium of the West and how it compares to that of Byzantium and the east, as well as the First Millennium. We will look at the papal evolution and revolution in relation to the question of grace: it is created or uncreated? What about Trent? What about the notion of the Church as juridical and mystical "bodies," the geopolitical influences, the divergent sacramentologies, the Protestant revolution, etc.

Stoicism is, at bottom, all about silencing the mind. Dispassion in the face of things that otherwise arouse passion. Resignation in the face of things that disappoint. Indifference in the face of things that raise emotions.Mental silence. It's a good trait, but human development didn't stop with the death of Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD, and neither did the development of Stoicism.Stoicism, you see, had a child.And her name was “Hesychasm.”Whereas Stoicism is all about quieting the mind, Hesychasm is, at bottom, all about quieting the heart.

Homily, 03.04.2018 - Sunday of St. Gregory Palamas; The Epistle of St. Paul to the Hebrews. (1:10-2:3); The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark. (2:1-12)

Our Faith: Orthodox Christianity Asceticism III: on Mysteries, Love, and Silence Review.  We have been called to a great purpose.  In Christ it is possible.  We need Him to be saved; we need Him to live the kind of lives we were meant to live.  Lives of meaning and contented peace.  Lives free of spiritual disease.  Christ has the medicine that heals what truly ails us, but we need to have a relationship with Him to receive it. In the case of normal doctors, the mechanisms are things like conversation, prescriptions, and a healing touch. Through these, our relationship with our doctor gives us the opportunity for greater health. Christ is our Great Physician; what does a relationship with Him bring to us? What is the medicine He shares with us? Is it “work” to take the medicine? The Medicine of the Mysteries. This may be the easiest one for us to see.  They look like medicine! The Medicine of Love. This isn’t just the way God heals others, it is how He heals us! The Medicine of Silence. Silent prayer is a test of our spiritual state and, done correctly, can be part of its healing. We are sick. Our minds have become warped. We confuse our will with God’s and make an idol of our pride. We need to heal our minds. We cannot do this by reading books, even the right ones (although we can certainly make things worse by reading the wrong ones). Nor can we simply “try harder” to be good. Both of these simply act as offerings to our pride, trying to make it stronger so that it can overcome everything else. What we need to do is to quiet that pride and lower the mind to Christ. Hesychasm. God in us. Quiet. Peace. Restores truth and beauty to the center of our lives with the mind in its proper place as the executive of this beauty and truth. So how do we achieve this peace? First, we have to immerse yourself in the Mysteries of the Church and you have to dedicate yourself to selfless love of and service to your neighbor (to include you spouses, your parents, your children, and even those people who unjustly seek to do you wrong). Next, you have to develop and follow a prayer rule. Spending five-ten minutes each evening and morning in prayer over an extended period of time is a prelude or warm-up for the way of silence. The problem of thoughts – and the difficulty of finding silence. It’s hard, but you certainly won’t find it if you don’t try! And if you don’t, there is a real risk that the other two modes – being religious and being nice – will become distractions, taking us right back to where we were at the beginning of the story. Which is why, my dear brothers and sisters, we need to develop the tools to bring peace to our lives and to those around us. “The creation waits with eager longing for the sons of God… because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God.” (Romans 8:19&21) “Suppose you read about a pill that you could take once a day to reduce anxiety and increase your contentment. Would you take it? Suppose further that the pill has a great variety of side effects, all of them good: increased self-esteem, empathy, and trust; it even improves memory. Suppose, finally, that the pill is all natural and costs nothing. Now would you take it? The pill exists. It’s called meditation.”~ Jonathan Haidt from The Happiness Hypothesis How do you meditate? What brings you peace? What quiets your mind?   Meditation (silent prayer) is not just for monks. It is for US!  The ones who need peace. Set yourself up for success. Quiet comfortable place. No distractions (your mind will provide plenty!) Deep breathing. Why?  I use an app to train me for this. Match the words of your prayer to the movement of your breath. Periodically check your shoulders and relax(!) Don’t get frustrated or upset or worry if you cannot keep focused on these prayers for very long.  If you make this a regular part of your daily ritual, you will train your mind for peace. In times when you are losing your calm, a couple of deep breaths will be enough to bring you back to yourself.

One of the unique facets of Christian spirituality is contained in the way that sacred music speaks to the heart. This does not happen via the manipulation of emotion, rather the response of the heart preceeds emotion and is more authentic than it.

From May 2019 Shared Inheritance Conference, "Growing in the Likeness of God: Eastern Spirituality in the modern world". Beyond a coherent Christian mysticism, the Hesychastic tradition also offers a general anthropology, a vision and hierarchy of the human person which can give us a way to live in the world today.

Gregory Palamas and the controversy over his teaching that we can go beyond human reason by grasping God through his activities or “energies”.

For us there are no dialectics: creation is not set against divine energy and presence, but is in fact its intended telos. God thus manifests His uncreated glory in time and space and in multitudes of created forms: upon this hangs the reality of the Gospel and the reality of the Incarnation as a deification of Christ's humanity, and by extension, us who participate in His deified flesh. Anything else is Arian heresy. Like His humanity or the sacraments, created forms really and truly thus become vehicles of uncreated reality and not 'created grace.' The light of Mt. Tabor is uncreated and so is the light we partake of, divine grace.

We continued reading the 17th Homily of St. Isaac the Syrian which focuses on establishing a "Rule" of life for beginners in light of Hesychasm and Philokalic Spirituality as a whole. Isaac shows how every aspect of our life must be transformed by the grace of God. With a holy genius, he reveals the healing of soul that must take place. Every interaction with others, every emotion, can be a means of seduction and so must be considered with radical honesty. We must possess a willingness to reflect upon things such as laughter, the familiar and lingering gaze upon another, and encounters with the opposite sex from the perspective of their impact upon the spiritual life and the vulnerability that arises out of our sin. This is never a solitary pursuit. A solidarity exists between each of us and thus a responsibility for one another's salvation.

Gregory Palamas was a monk of Mount Athos in Greece and later the archbishop of Thessaloniki, known as a preeminent theologian of Hesychasm.  Paul and Jonathan discuss the significance of Palamas as a point of departure from the Latin tradition.

The words: soteriology, hesychasm, and vlachos were spoken recently in Beaumont, Texas—not to mention so-dzo, so-dzentai, huneycutt, and so-dzenestitai. (Most holy Theotokos, save us!)

The Primate of the United States explains and takes us through the practice of Hesychasm and the Jesus Prayer- includes a 10m practice session in the middle of the talk. 

Fr. John introduces the force that kept traditional Christianity on course at a moment of crisis in the east, Hesychasm, and how it maintained Christendom's focus on paradise.

Today's show addresses the questions of Lenten Paleo fasting, whether NDE's are proof of the soul etc., and what everyone should do to be prepared for the most likely emergencies.  I also talk about fun and transformative lenten disciplines like fasting, meditation, and walking.  Enjoy the show!

This episode begins with an introduction to Orthodox epistemology, but the bulk is spent in conversation with Rev. Jonathan Malone, PhD. He is a Baptist preacher with an interesting story to tell (teaser: a dark night of the soul answered through an apophatic pilgrimage on the Appalachian Trail). Enjoy!

Russia 18-19th Centuries, Enlightenment and Romantic influences. Revival of Hesychasm. http://archive.org/download/OrthodoxChurchHistory/WEB_32-Russia-6-18th-19th-B.mp3

One of the features of Russian Orthodox Christianity has been the prominence of monasteries. Soon after the conversion of Russia there was founded the monastery of the Caves in Kiev; later on, there was established by St Sergei of Radonezh the famous monastery of the Trinity (now called the Sergei-Trinity Lavra) outside Moscow. Monasticism had been a feature of Christianity since the fourth century. At the heart of monasticism is commitment to the life of prayer, and in the earliest texts onwards we find 7 discussions about how to maintain a life of continual prayer. In fourteenthcentury Byzantium there arose a controversy about the so-called hesychast monks (‘hesychast' being derived from the Greek hesychia, quietness) about claims that, through continual prayer, there could be attained the vision of the uncreated light of the Godhead itself. Hesychast monks were important in the bringing of Christianity to the region around Moscow in the fourteenth century (the circle of St Sergei). The notion of contemplating the uncreated light of the Godhead is manifest in iconography, especially of the Transfiguration of the Lord, about this time. The hesychast monks came to be associated with a practice of inward prayer (‘prayer of the heart') achieved by practice of the Jesus Prayer (‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner'): a prayer that became very popular in nineteenth-century Russia, as the famous book, The Way of the Pilgrim, bears witness.
