"Throughout its illegal invasion, Russia has struck over 540 religious and cultural sites across Ukraine.
With every drone and missile it launches, Russia exposes its claim of defending Orthodoxy for the lie it is."

Was a joy to get to #divinelitugy this morning. Many reasons. It was in English. Rather than 500+ people it was small and intimate. But mostly I have longed and longed for a sacramental expression of #christianity, though i wouldnt have been able to express that before. Now the body and blood has become deeply #mystical and I love it. #orthodoxy rocks

Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2More about this quote: wist.info/emerson-ralph-waldo/…

I just discovered that the Greek word for 'entertainment' and for 'dispersal' share the same root. In #orthodoxy theology the fall of Adam led to the fracturing of his psyche leading to (as I understand it ... probably very much in-part) the focus of his attention becoming external to his inner being rather than centered on his interior life of intimacy with his creator. His attention was dispersed, losing his inner perfection
Thus entertainment, a gift of course, has the potential to fracture and disperse our thoughts all over again.
So what? #orthodox #theology is the gift that keeps on giving. It even sheds light on my modern day addiction to my phone. The desire to recover the inner stillness leads to my repeated fracturing/dispersal as I medicate myself on the phone.
And this in part explains to my mind why the emphasise on sin is more as a disease that needs healing and less on a charge sheet the needs removing rather than wrong actions.
Just mind blowingly awesome.

But there is still no formal opening decision, no confirmed legal framework, and no timetable. Our latest report breaks down what has changed — and what has not.

"The problem is that honest efforts to preserve Buddhism can head down a slipperly slope to rigid, sterile orthodoxy. This has happened over and over through Buddhist history. As we slide further down that slope, essential principles and functions are forgotten. Experiential understanding is replaced with scholarship; then scholarship is replaced with text-worship. Living practice turns into rote ritual performance."

One of the hardest things you can be on this planet is a Christian. (Except in America—they have no idea what they're doing anyway.)

All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) Irish playwright and critic
Mrs. Warren’s Profession, Preface (1893)More about this quote: wist.info/shaw-george-bernard/…

Un gouverneur vint faire un discours sur son "opération spéciale" qu'il avait en grande estime.
Je lui réponds : vous vous justifiez vous-mêmes devant les hommes; mais Dieu connaît vos cœurs; c'est pourquoi ce qui est grand devant les hommes, est en abomination devant Dieu.https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/parade-militaire-du-9-mai-l-armee-russe-affronte-une-force-agressive-soutenue-par-l-otan-affirme-vladimir-poutine-20260509

Men insist most vehemently upon their certainties when their hold upon them has been shaken. Frantic orthodoxy is a method for obscuring doubt.
