Being a little guy/girl in the Eye of God is all about walking in close relationship with God who is love (1 John 4:8) and extending that love to our fellow man (1 John 4:12). Its not about religion or doctrine, its about relationship with the Most High. https://t.co/BjDVQ4OgEC

“The sign of the cross is the most terrible weapon against the devil. Thus the Church wishes not only that we have it continually in front of our minds to recall to us just what our souls are worth and what they cost Jesus Christ, but also that we should make it at every juncture ourselves: when we go to bed, when we awaken during the night, when we get up, when we begin any action, and, above all, when we are tempted.” (St. Jean Marie Vianney)

Another Eastern Orthodox quote of the day ☦️ #orthodoxy

[Prekarios Styletes ☦️📿 @prekariosstylet]

Christ is the summit of desire; there is nothing higher. All sensible things lead to satiety, but with God there is no satiation. He is everything. God is the summit of desire. No other joy, no other beauty, nothing else can rival Him. What is higher than the highest?

St Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

"The contemplation of God is promised to us as the goal of all our acts and the eternal consummation of all our joys."

- St. Augustine of Hippo

[Prekarios Styletes ☦️📿 @prekariosstylet]

When Christ enters your heart, your passions disappear. You are unable to swear, or hate, or seek revenge or anything. How could there be hatreds, dislikes, censures, egotisms, anxieties, depressions? What holds sway is Christ - and longing for the unsetting light. This longing makes you feel that death is a bridge that you will cross in an instant in order to continue the life of Christ.

St Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

We Are Platonic

"...the Septuagint Genesis reiterated and amplified the refrain "And God saw that it was beautiful” [καὶ εἶδεν ὁ θεὸς ὅτι καλόν], invoking the adjective καλόν, the same word that the Timaeus had employed to speak about the created world."

Све што задеси тебе, прихвати радо, и у променама које те понижавају буди дуготрпељив, јер се злато испитује у огњу, а људи угодни Богу - у горионику понижења.

@RogerJStoneJr @rexjonesnewz As someone who went through a lot to come to Christ I support you. I was thinking of you today and your relationship with Trump. Weird to see this on my feed later the same day. Trump needs you, more specifically Christ in you. I hope you are praying A LOT.

[Mathematica @mathemetica]

Crystals lock into one of seven lattice systems based on their axis lengths and angles, locking in the shape every mineral takes as it grows.

Cubic gives equal axes at right angles for spinel and garnet.
Tetragonal stretches one axis for zircon.
Hexagonal sets three equal axes at 120° for apatite and beryl.
Trigonal drops to threefold symmetry for quartz, sapphire and ruby.
Orthorhombic keeps right angles but unequal axes for topaz, peridot and tanzanite.
Monoclinic tilts one angle for spodumene.
Triclinic has no equal axes or right angles for amazonite.

René Just Haüy mapped these symmetries in the early 1800s by studying how crystals cleave.
Jewelers cut ruby and sapphire along the trigonal c-axis so the finished stone flashes its deepest red or blue under store lights.

Which of these lattice shapes would you expect to see most often in a handful of beach sand?

🚨 Scientists Believe the Human Mind May Connect to a Cosmic Intelligence

Quantum researchers are exploring a shocking idea — that human consciousness could be linked to a larger universal mind. Some theories suggest the brain may access hidden information fields that influence healing, awareness, and balance.
While scientists still debate the evidence, the research is raising mysterious questions about whether the universe — and human consciousness — are deeply connected in ways we never imagined.

James K. Polk, the 11th President of the United States, took a grand total of 42 days off in his entire four years in office. Out of roughly 1,460 days, he spent all but 42 of them at his desk. He may be the biggest workaholic ever to hold the job. He rose before dawn, worked deep into the night, personally read nearly every document that crossed his path, and treated relaxing like a personal enemy.

His wife Sarah ran the White House to match. A devout woman, she banned dancing, banned card games, and banned hard liquor in the building. No parties, no music, no fun, just work. When she once begged him to put his papers down and get some rest, he responded by handing her a stack of documents to read on his behalf. Even his idea of delegating was still more work.

What makes it wild is how effective all that grinding actually was. Polk walked into office as a "dark horse," a candidate almost nobody expected to win, and a protégé of Andrew Jackson nicknamed "Young Hickory." He then laid out four enormous goals for his single term: lower the tariff, restore an independent treasury, settle the Oregon border dispute with Britain, and acquire California from Mexico. He accomplished all four. He added more than 800,000 square miles to the country and stretched the United States all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Few Presidents have ever gotten that much done, and almost none did it in one term.

Then, true to his word, he kept his promise not to run again and walked away completely drained. And here is the almost dark ending. Just three months after leaving office, worn down to nothing, he caught cholera and died at 53, one of the shortest post-presidency lives in history. Many historians believe he quite literally worked himself into an early grave, that four years of nonstop labor left his body too weak to fight the illness off.

So the real James K. Polk: 42 days off in four years, banned fun in his own house, quietly reshaped the entire map of the country, checked off every goal he set, and then dropped dead months later from sheer exhaustion.

That's a President.

Our soul will be greatly comforted when we yearn for the Lord. We will not then concern ourselves with everyday and lowly things, but with spiritual and higher things. We will live in the spiritual world. When you live in the spiritual world, you live in the world in which your soul delights and for which it longs. This does not mean that you are indifferent towards others. You wish for everyone to find salvation, light and sanctification and for everyone to enter into the Church.

St Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia

[Trad West @trad_west_]

In the Book of Job, our Lord said:
“Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?” Job 38,31.

The two verbs are what's interesting here. "Bind" and "loosen".

Astronomy identifies the Pleiades as an open star cluster containing more than a thousand stars held together by gravity.

Orion, however, is a pattern of stars visible from Earth. Differing from Pleiades, its famous stars do not form one gravitationally cluster. They lie at different distances and move independently, so the familiar figure will eventually change and disperse from our perspective.

Job was written in poetic language, not as a modern astronomy textbook. Yet it is accurate.

The Pleiades are described with the language of binding, while Orion is described with the language of loosening.

Thousands of years before we could ever know that these systems were "bound" and "losen", Scripture described them accurately.
