christian hermit friend:
- 50 years of sitting in silence & prayer every morning for 6 hours
- takes care of a little abandoned church, which he restored on his own, he lives next to it
- sitting next to him is incredible: the man literally channels the holy spirit all the time, pure bliss
- kindest person i ever met
- cares zero about money, power, fame, greed, attention
- washes himself in the little river next to the church
- lives a super humble life and makes wood furniture by hand in the afternoon
i only send people to him that have serious inner development and consider the reclusive life, so they get an idea of what that really looks like, they stay with him a couple of days and always come away in total awe
this man has my deepest respect and whom i admire enormously, we get along so well just sitting in silence or discussing various christian scriptures
This is what true power and inner development looks like, this is what pure happiness looks like, this is a man who lives in total surrender to god/absolute/brahman/infinity (whatever you want to call it) and truly embodies it in his real life. This is someone i admire
Rumi
โThere is a vital force in your soul, seek that life.โ
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, look for that mine. Oh, traveler, if you seek that, don't look outside, look inside and find it.
