“The praying heart ought to be like an open flower, a blooming lily, which by means of its beauty and fragrance attracts the divine "honeybee" that is the Name of Jesus Christ, to close it within and to produce the nectar of divine life.” - Fr Stephanos Anagnostopoulos

Saint Dionysius was one of the philosophers the Apostle Paul converted after he gave his famous sermon on Mars Hill in Athens. It was famous for its cleverness. The Apostle Paul pointed to an altar dedicated to the Unknown God and said he knew Him. After Saint Dionysius heard this, he remembered seeing the daytime darkness during the Crucifixion and believed the Gospel. Then, he became a bishop and one of the most influential apophatic theologians of the Church! Ironically, apophatic theology is knowing God, who transcends all manmade definitions and concepts, through the process of unknowing.

No matter how close you get to someone, they will never fully understand you, their love will never be perfect. There is an existential loneliness
But God understands you and loves you perfectly, that is the primary relationship to cultivate, even if you don’t know it yet
"There'll be a staff of twenty experts at the top of the building working this Notice-Board in a room rather like the Tube control rooms. It's a marvelous gadget. The different kinds of business all come out in the Board in different colored lights. They call it a Pragmatometer."
My spirit praises Maleldil who comes down from Deep Heaven into this lowness and will make me to be blessed by all the times that are rolling towards us. It is He who is strong and makes me strong and fills empty worlds with good creatures.

They hate beauty. They hate Christianity. They hate every Western value that built European civilization. They were never here to join it, It was always to conquer.
These are third worldists, radical Islamists, and the leftists who import and enable them, people with no attachment to the West they’re overrunning.
Our European ancestors were getting cut in half with swords and axes to secure this inheritance for us. They would look at what we’ve done with it, open borders, cultural surrender, entire cities treated as disposable and see cowards who handed their civilization to people who despise it.
Our heritage means nothing to them.
If you told me I actually ingested extended release Arcadian rainbow cocaine instead of 200mg of thiamine tetrahydrafurfuryline disulfide I would believe you, glory to Jesus Christ
It's been about 9 hours since I took my first dose of thiamine (TTFD) and I seriously can't remember the last time I had such lucid and constant energy. It is absolutely night and day. I feel substantially less autistic and pro-social, as well.
