says the holy sack hero, just as we have two eyes of the body, we also have two eyes
of the soul, when man reaches a pure
soul, then God first opens him one mental eye, with this mental
eye he sees the mysteries of the acquisition of nature, this is called the theory of being
here you see all around we have trees we have flowers we have grass all this
in every little friend in every bird in every little fish in the sea in every star all
these are hidden mysteries of nature it is full of hidden mysteries
this is yes and in every mystery or in every building in every creation the
reason that is the reason that exists the cause the reason that exists is is the
reason of yes the reason of is a word that means the cause of of its existence
, this reason for the existence of every building, its mystery is revealed
, that is, it is revealed only by the grace of God, the wise Solomon had been given
to the wise Solomon was blessed to have this wisdom the revelation of the theory
of beings and the fathers say in fact Saint Joseph the Caveman says that the
theory of beings is the first revelation that God will give to
man when He wants to reveal His mysteries to him god gives him the theory
of which he says is for beginners grandpa josif says so then so then so
when he opens your mental eye of one, God sees the theory
of beings, that is, you see the reasons for the existence of beings, and in an experience
of grace, man can see it, to see all possession glorifying God,
when in this theory, when you act man with the grace of God what does
man do he sees all the possessions glorifying at this point he had arrived he
had arrived saint Siluanus had seen this theory and explains it explains
he had said every flower girl says every every grass glorifies God and this one
had the same experience and Saint Porphyrios had the same experience and the elder Ephraim
her Philoth and this is the first the first step of the theory the
second step is when God opens to you and the right eye the other
mental eye and then you see the uncreated light the uncreated light as it is is
the light the energy of god the energy of the holy spirit which
God reveals when He wants to whomever He wants, but usually you have to
reach to see it, you have to reach a pure soul and Abba Isaac says
that in a natural way man will reach to see the light of God when
his soul is healed when both of his mental eyes are healed and as
he says the physical eyes cannot see the light if it is if they have a disease
because you don't have cataracts your eye sees darkness doesn't he can see the light,
however, when the surgeon treats your cataract and removes
the scale from above that prevents the light from entering, then you see the light, i.e. when
the physical eye is healed, you see the light of the sun, similarly when the physical eye
is healed psychic eye the two psychic eye and then you see the light of god
naturally you don't ask for it it comes by itself so we why don't
we see it because we don't have a pure soul and furthermore why doesn't it allow now God
because God does not want us to see his light here because he will
oblige us and he is a lord and he does not want to deprive us of our freedom
if you want you can believe him because all the unbelievers and atheists if
God showed them his light what shone in the tabor they would immediately believe, they could not
deny it since it is a terrible experience so that
God does not force you to accept him, but he does not show you now and he wants you to be saved through
faith, and when will he show you knowledge, that is, from faith, when will he lead you to
knowledge when you believe and reach a pure heart, may the pure heart
be the one who despises God, when you reach a pure heart, then he will show you God
his light before he wants you to be saved by faith does not show you at the beginning
so you have to believe walked you learned always the nations are baptized in
them in the name of the father and of the holy spirit the believer
baptist is saved says the gnos the believer in the word of the apostles in the
word of the gospel and will be baptized in the holy pool and will live with
repentance in his life and will arrive with his ascetic struggle and prayer
in a pure soul he will see the god when he reaches a pure soul therefore and
then he will know God, that is why Saint Sophronius explains very clearly what
happens when man sees the uncreated light which is the light of God and he
describes it there very beautifully, he says that it is so so so so so because
they had seen it and it is a a testimony like this one of knowledge of god and then god
shows it to you he puts you in the mysteries you keep calling them mysteries which
of course are mysteries god starts and shows you when he gives you the prayer inside
here in the heart it begins and shows you mysteries, therefore, for the most part, when
you see it, you act in the light, then you begin and see, you now participate permanently in
God's breakfast and live from here on in the kingdom of God to the extent that
God gives you this experience and life when you see it Aktis, this light is
together with the fact that it shows you that Christ is God, that is, the
divinity of Christ is confirmed by the Aktis in the light and indeed says Job when
you see the saints so that God can reach you plus extreme humiliation so rather when
you see the akti in the light then you reach extreme humiliation and you really become
you understand what your nature is that you are dust and ashes says Job before
I heard he says for you now that you are earth and with him he says
that he is dust and dust therefore the saints and the grandfather Joseph
used to tell him that man is dust and ashes, your nature is dust and plaster,
nothing you can do without the grace of God and you experience this when
you see the ati in the light that you are dust and ashes, you experience it with a sense of the soul
that is, it becomes your experience, it becomes you, it becomes an absolute one of knowledge,
you know this, so when you see it, you come to light, you have the experience that
you are a zero and at the same time you see the greatness of god and you compare
yourself which is nothing with the greatness of god and there you marvel and
the fathers the theologians say that by seeing it you create the light because it is
indescribable because it does not look like anything you know unknowns let's go to apophatic
theology you know the unknown god, that is, you see him, you see a miracle, an
amazing phenomenon in front of you, you admire it, but you cannot understand
what it is, and you know a you know God, that is, you know the
mysteries of God in a way that is unknown and cannot be conveyed
in language, the apostle Paul when he went to heaven and saw the ear
in the light, then he could not speak and say what he saw because the human language
cannot convey these things of heaven
