stop wasting time with meditation and psychedelics. eastern orthodoxy has a method that’s real: theosis. you can become god by fully participating in His divine life.humans are made for this. you weren’t made to just exist and die. Scripture says you can be a partaker of the divine nature. that’s not a metaphor. you were created to share in God Himself.prayer, fasting, confession, and living intentionally toward God reshape you. slowly, but steadily, you start to reflect Christ. Saints did it. So can you.sin blocks it. Pride, lust, laziness and selfishness keep you away from God.mysticism matters. The Orthodox tradition is full of mystical practices: hesychasm, the Jesus Prayer, deep contemplative prayer. They are tried-and-true methods for actually experiencing God. mystical experiences can guide and confirm your transformation, anon
>>41710653You gain xp just for playing the game. The problem is failure in how one chooses to invest that xp back into themselves.
>>41710653why would i want to? God's retarded ass made dinosaurs. Why does he like razor-sharp teeth so much and blood?
>>41710653I'm so glad to see Christians and western traditions re-develop their full bhakti practice.
>>41710653>you can literally become godI don't think that's what the Eastern Orthodox Church believes about theosis.
>>41710675this is /x/, they were dragons, not dinosaurs, and they were cool as fuck. you retarded faggot
true terrene god or bustalso, meditation and nutmeg
>>41710653Contemplation as in the Cloud of Unknowing is meditation
>>41710653>realShow me those gods
>>41711103>>41711108Would you agree with the sentiment of the following?>These are the definitions. One who is completely free from all sinful activities, they can become pure devotee. So even after becoming free from sinful activities, if one has got some motive, then he is also not pure devotee. Pure devotee means without any material motive: "God is great. I am His subordinate. I must love God. I must render service to God." This is pure devotee. >And if I go to God, "Please give me my bread," that is not pure devotee, because he has got some purpose. As soon as his purpose is fulfilled, he may turn nondevotee. Just like one of my German Godbrothers said that in Germany during the last war, Second World War, many women used to go to the church to pray to God to get back their husband, son, or brother. But nobody came back. And they became atheist: "There is no God. We prayed so much, and my father did not come, my brother did not come, my son did not come." >So motivated devotion is sometimes frustrated, and they become atheist. Therefore the devotee who has no motive is pure devotee. "In any condition, it is my duty to love God and to serve Him, not for my benefit but God's satisfaction." That is pure devotee.
>>41710653We can be like the angels and we are gods but we aren't the God of Gods nor will we ever be.The Almighty Lord existed outside of time before he created, we exist between the boundaries of life and death which foment time through cognizance over right and wrong.
