This stuff MaranAta said, is otherworldly, and that is what I'm in search of! Everyone have their right to choose what they believe, and where all laws end, love starts, because, if you only had love, you wouldn't need any laws to abide. Golden heart as compass is utter tool of compassion, and way of compassion is the Way that leads out of this world. God himself took human form and came to us as Way, and that is the only path which leads where we all seek, even the greatest magi knew that and awaited for the Messiah to come. Trough his compassion stairway to haven is open for us, but I'm unfamiliar with Hesyhasm and some of mentioned practices, even tho I researched a lot of ancient Christianity, but mostly I worked with apocryphal and gnostic stuff, which turned futile. I can agree with book of Enoch, and canonical gospels, I have heard about ladder of divine ascent, but haven't had experience with Philokalia, tho my friend who is traditional Budhist holds it in high esteem, as well he does the orthodoxy, since he practices true form of traditional Budhism, only involving deep contemplation, philosophy of living like ascetic cenobite in the world like you mentioned, but he lacks that spiritual part, which if you add, you seem to get that orthodox thing you talk about, instead of mindless ''meditations'' and all that neo-budhistic psychodelic nonsense. Its a shame that in western world you dont have too much ancient coptic and orthodox Christianity, and in past it was an obscure thing... Im very interested in your coven/group so I will contact you! I was thinking about joining other christian groups here, and they also seem kind, but I find your teachings to be much more truthful, not just some christian flavored wicca, which is okay for people searching for that, but it is not my cup of tea. Tho I wont force and preach to others, everyone should act according to their desire :)
