He prayed without ceasing something called the "noetic prayer". Here's 15 points on noetic prayer from the archbishopric of Cyprus:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">1. Prayer is one of the foremost and strongest powers that causes him
who prays to be born again, and it grants him bodily and spiritually
well-being.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> 2. Prayer is the eyes and wings of the soul; it gives us the boldness and strength to behold God.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">3. My brother, keep praying with your mouth until divine grace
enlightens you to pray also with your heart. Then a celebration and
festival will take place within you in a wondrous way, and you will no
longer pray with your mouth, but with the attention which works in the
heart.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">4. If you truly desire to expel every anti-Christian thought and to
purify your nous, you will achieve this only through prayer, for nothing
is able to regulate our thoughts as well as prayer. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">5. Be careful, because if you are lazy and inattentive in prayer, you
shall not make any progress either in your pursuit of devotion towards
the Lord, or in the acquisition of salvation and peace of thought.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">6. The name of Jesus Christ, which we invoke in prayer, contains within
it self-existing and self-acting restorative power. So do not worry
about the imperfection and dryness of your prayer, but with perseverance
await the fruit of the repeated invocation of the Divine Name.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">7. When guided by prayer, the moral powers within us become stronger than all our temptations and conquer them.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">8. Frequency in prayer creates a habit of prayer, which quickly becomes
second nature and which frequently brings the nous and the heart to a
higher spiritual state. It is the only way to reach the height of true
and pure prayer. It constitutes the best means of effective preparation
for prayer and the surest road for one to reach the destination of
prayer and salvation.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">9. Each one of us is able to acquire interior prayer—that is, to make
it a means of communication with the Lord. It does not cost anything
except the effort to plunge into silence and into the depths of our
heart, and the care to call upon the name of our sweetest Jesus Christ
as often as possible, which fills one with elation. Plunging into
ourselves and examining the world of our soul give us the opportunity to
know what a mystery man is, to feel the delight of self-knowledge and
to shed bitter tears of repentance for our falls and the weakness of our
will. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">10. May your entire soul cleave with love to the meaning of the prayer,
so that your nous, your inner voice, and your will—these three
components of your soul—become one, and the one become three; for in
this way man, who is an image of the Holy Trinity, comes into contact
with and is united to the prototype. As the great worker and teacher of
noetic prayer, the divine Gregory Palamas of Thessalonica said, “When
the oneness of the nous becomes threefold, yet remains single, then it
is united with the divine Triadic Unity, and it closes the door to every
form of delusion and is raised above the flesh, the world, and the
prince of the world” (The Philokalia, vol. IV. p. 343 ).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">11. Wherever the prayer is active, there is Christ with the Father and
the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity, one in essence and indivisible.
Wherever there is Christ, the Light of the world, there is the eternal
light of the other world; there is peace and joy; there are the angels
and the saints; there is the splendor of the Kingdom. Blessed are those
who in this present life have clothed themselves with the Light of the
world—Christ—for they have already put on the garment of incorruption.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">12. Since Christ is the light of the world, those who do not see Him,
who do not believe in Him, are all most certainly blind. Conversely, all
who strive to practice the commandments of Christ walk in the light;
they confess Christ and venerate and worship Him as God. Whoever
confesses Christ and regards Him as his Lord and God is strengthened by
the power of the invocation of His name to do His will. But if he is not
strengthened, it is evident that he confesses Christ only with his
mouth, while in his heart he is far from Him.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">13. Just as it is impossible for someone who walks at night not to
stumble, likewise it is impossible for someone who has not yet seen the
divine light not to sin.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">14. The goal of noetic prayer is to unite God with man, to bring Christ
into man’s heart, banishing the devil from there and destroying all the
work that he has accomplished there through sin. For, as the beloved
disciple says, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He
might destroy the works of the devil” (1 Jn. 3:8 ). Only the devil knows
the inexpressible power of these seven words of the Jesus prayer, and
this is why he wars and fights against the prayer with furious rage.
Countless times the demons have confessed through the mouths of
possessed people that they are burned by the action of the prayer.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">15. The more the prayer unites us with Christ, the more it separates us
from the devil—and not only from the devil, but also from the spirit of
the world, which engenders and sustains the passions.</span></p></div>Emily Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07111209879140574089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207668654573393172.post-91257047832042736932023-02-06T17:50:00.005-08:002023-02-06T17:50:45.994-08:00Quotes from A Canticle for Leibowitz<p style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;"><em> </em></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvjUahW5D4LDQ5h-u-kGO36k72dl_Oxu4P3anf3dReY63Ss3N8cW-nnfFTMHjcPRprXVLbMblFDlG6JfFe5jq5M-PA7fvEdNH4bodYtVkXKOL89EWGtG-22hMoE8O8iW2tMES8TLA2bYlB2eWB7JeUxjQyx8QWyrdI-c_W-zBa1orODt3KFF2fg33R/s3000/lf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="2056" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvjUahW5D4LDQ5h-u-kGO36k72dl_Oxu4P3anf3dReY63Ss3N8cW-nnfFTMHjcPRprXVLbMblFDlG6JfFe5jq5M-PA7fvEdNH4bodYtVkXKOL89EWGtG-22hMoE8O8iW2tMES8TLA2bYlB2eWB7JeUxjQyx8QWyrdI-c_W-zBa1orODt3KFF2fg33R/w438-h640/lf.jpg" width="438" /></a></em></div><em> </em><p></p><p style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;"><em>The
closer men came to perfecting for themselves a paradise, the more
impatient they became with it, and with themselves as well. They made a
garden of pleasure, and became progressively more miserable with it as
it grew in richness and power and beauty; for then, perhaps, it was
easier to see something was missing in the garden, some tree or shrub
that would not grow. When the world was in darkness and wretchedness, it
could believe in perfection and yearn for it. But when the world became
bright with reason and riches, it began to sense the narrowness of the
needle's eye, and that rankled for a world no longer willing to believe
or yearn.</em></p><p style="color: #404040; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;"><span>―Walter M.

font-family: times;">When I look at photographs of female directors, I feel inspired. Not because I am a modern feminist (I lean closer to a feminism of the past perhaps). But rather, it is because I see myself. My natural impulse is to doubt myself rather than believe in myself, so when I look at images of female directors I think, if they could believe in themselves this much, why shouldn't I? They believed in themselves enough to endorse their own talent and vision - enough that others believed in them as well. Why shouldn't I?</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(77, 81, 86);"><b><span style="font-family: times;">Věra Chytilová</span></b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(77, 81, 86);"><span style="font-family: times;">Věra Chytilová was an avant-garde Czech film director and pioneer of Czech cinema.

I think this applies to all art forms, particularly in writing the narrative form. When we devote focus and time to an object, whether a physical object, a person, an idea, a feeling, and we come into agreement with our bodies to not only think over it, but physically move in the process (the hand moving as one makes a brush stroke or a pen stroke) we can deepen our understanding as we discover new details and depth to that object. We move and think around it, into it, through it.</p><p>This talk was hosted by The Huntington Garden & Museum. </p><p>"A concise master class on the important contribution that drawing lends
to any pursuit of knowledge, using examples of two botanical
illustrations by Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés (1478-1557) and
Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717)."</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="420" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vvd4eyE-9v8" width="505" youtube-src-id="Vvd4eyE-9v8"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Emily Darlinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07111209879140574089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207668654573393172.post-18789565902615757462020-12-07T14:37:00.004-08:002020-12-07T14:37:38.402-08:00Kamperett Veils<blockquote style="border: none;

<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1">“… if you refuse to let your own suffering lie upon you for an hour and if you constantly try to prevent and forestall all possible stress way ahead of time; if you experience suffering and displeasure as evil, hateful, worthy of annihilation, and as a defect of existence, then it is clear that besides your religion of pity you also harbor another religion in your heart that is perhaps the mother of the religion of pity: the religion of comfortableness. How little you know of human happiness, you comfortable and benevolent people, for happiness and unhappiness are sisters and even twins that either grow up together or, as in your case, remain small together.”</span></div>
