On The Way

The world was made for children

Fr. Vasileios: If you've noticed, children give themselves completely to the game. The Greek word pehnidi (game) is completely tied to the word pedi (child). As time passes, the sun sets and mother comes out to tell the children to go inside because game time is over. On Mount Athos

Nobody knows

Nobody knows Where, or What, or Who you are. They can’t see you. The can’t track you. It’s never been possible to take the world. It is hidden in itself. Hiding in a memory.

Fusion

What if the purpose of artificial intelligence is actually to manage organic intelligence programmatically?

Memory Eternal

Lord remember us in Your kingdom. If the Lord remembers us in love, we are remembered in every way, in a perfect way, and can never be forgotten. And never forgetting us, He will surely restore us again to that life which He has in Himself. Remember.

Clarity

What defines us

The Woman

What is it about women which is so attractive to men? Beyond the obvious, or what appears to be obvious to us, but at the root of it, the real essence of it, there is a metaphysical longing for union. To a man, the woman represents the possiblity of union,

The Negation of the Real

The antidote to the counterfeit is He Who Is ἀληθινός.

Determined Coherence.

Nothing is random. All that exists does so within a closed system having limited potentialities. The things that are, the people who are, the events that occur, the major acts of history, the bands, the albums, the books, the authors - all seem “too perfect” - too coherent.

Everything is Personal

What is this all about?

Well, what is anything all about? What is best in life? What is better than life? I can only hope to point the way to the Way. I guess I'm just trying to find a place to post my random thoughts, meanderings, riddles, prose, ramblings, links, concepts, flashes of insight

When were we?

Why are the youth at war with the past, and at war with their future? It is as though they (we) want to live in the eternal present with no consequences and no attachments...  If only they knew that their lives and their real as opposed to simulated identities, and

Looking at the robins in my backyard. How they all live and play and travel together.

They have no concept of what it means to be alone. “We’ve always been together. Is there something other than that?“ They are completed by the other. They are complete together. But the first man, Adam, himself, was not complete. And God saw that it was not good. And
