“God is infinite and incomprehensible. 

All that is comprehensible about Him is His infinity and incomprehensibility. God does not belong to the class of existing things: not that He has no existence, but that He is above all existing things, nay even above existence itself.”

— John of Damascus 

The Church is the living image of eternity in time.

Our eyes see 0.05% of the entire electromagnetic wave... *We*'*re blind cosmically*, but we judge everything by what we see.

There is a story in the Russian Primary Chronicle of how Vladimir, Prince of Kiev, while still a pagan, desired to know which was the true religion, and therefore sent his followers to visit the various countries of the world in turn. […]
Finally they journeyed to Constantinople, and here at last, as they attended the Divine Liturgy in the great Church of the Holy Wisdom, they discovered what they desired. ‘We knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth, for surely there is no such splendour or beauty anywhere upon earth. We cannot describe it to you: only this we know, that God dwells there among humans, and that their service surpasses the worship of all other places. For we cannot forget that beauty.´

There are 30 trillion cells in the human body. That means 30 trillion living organisms were involved in the writing of this tweet. Each of us humans think of ourselves as one individual, but we are a bustling civilization of life.

Your unlimited desires are clouding your peace.

Silence isn't empty. It's full of answers.

Technology lets you do more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing.

The role of the psychedelic guide is perhaps the most exciting and inspiring role in society. He is literally a liberator, one who provides illumination, one who frees men from their life-long internal bondage.

To be present at the moment of awakening, to share the ecstatic revelation when the voyager discovers the wonder and awe of the divine life process, is for many the most gratifying part to play in the evolutionary drama.

The role of the psychedelic guide has a built in protection against professionalism and didactic oneupmanship. The psychedelic liberation is so powerful that it far outstrips earthly game ambitions. Awe and gratitude -rather than pride -are the rewards of this new profession.

The true aim of prayer is to enter into conversation with God. It is not restricted to certain hours of the day. A Christian has to feel himself personally in the presence of God.
The goal of prayer is precisely to be with God always.

Creativity is all about connecting things together.

If someone asks ‘How can I become god?’ The answer is very simple: go to church, receive the sacraments regularly, pray to God ‘in spirit and in truth’, read the Gospels, follow the commandments. The last of these items - ‘follow the commandments’ - must never be forgotten.
