St. Theophan the Recluse, On Symbolism:
"You must reinterpret in a spiritual way all that you see around you, then fight with all your forces to imprint that new interpretation on your mind… While your eyes see a tangible object, your mind will be contemplating a spiritual one."

[Trey @treydonlunot]

@eikontheou I’d much rather be a sheep…

Disembodiment is Death.
Disinformation is Dark.

Information is Light.
Embodied Information Is Life.

"In the beginning was the Word (Logos)... In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

The fruit fly part, naturally, is ritual in nature. The point is for you to see the animal and a cybernetic web of nodes as the same.

Almost as if an intelligence that is reached through ritual disguised itself as science...

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@Videogarment @tiagohierath To specify, a digital Liturgy for the *computer/hardware* user.

(Note to self: A GUI is an Image User-Interface, in other words, a type of Mediation via Images.
"What images are you Mediating?" is the question we ought to answer...)

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@Videogarment @tiagohierath Thus, the GUI is a type of secular, digital Liturgy for its user?

[seele ² @Videogarment]

Narrative tools are, of course, about ritual, and ritual is what builds bodies. Here, the religious trope of building the body of an entity, of bringing it into "reality," becomes an industrial capacity. The creatures that are produced double as idols onto themselves.

[Sympractical @sympractical]

Modern “science” uses the powers of death (dissociation from the body) to gain knowledge via foreign perspectives.

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@Videogarment I see, because all reality is basically structured Language/Logos, biological and digital language are compatible for routing information/meaning.

Those cells outside of its context is basically a blank interface hosting Language of 'DOOM' rather than 'Life of Fruit Fly'

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

If I'm honest the Zeal never left. I started forgetting due to earthly cares. This is why praying and remembering is so important!

Yet also, the break also gave time for past understandings of Symbolism to go deep in my heart whilst I laboured, ready for the next layer to enter!

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

This article has reignited Zeal in Symbolism for me! Many deep insights from this...

Everything talks their own Language, but you gotta understand and speak it properly to meditate the right Message, otherwise The Thing will talk back at you, and behold! A Messenger with Sword!

[Sympractical @sympractical]

Based on recent reflections on language, I have put together an analysis of the meaning of talking animals in story telling.

Link below!

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@Videogarment It implies wider society is completely captured by the idea of "objectivity apart from God" (and His Word, Jesus Christ,) and it's only when this "objectivity" fails that they see it wasn't the "objective" god/being they thought it was.

[Sympractical @sympractical]

@gagemurphy777 Talking animals are almost always riddles which invite growth (both below [animal] and above [angel])

[Owen Clark @clrk_o]

A huge cope that you see again and again is that intellectuality precedes artistry, intellectuals instead live under the canopy artists provide. They provide the ‘heaven’ that makes great thoughts possible to begin with. You are not going to think yourself into artistic renewal.

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@Videogarment Good article!

If all have knifes (Nukes) to eachothers throat—with the slightest hint of violence meaning everyone dies, the only signal to goodwill + peace is no longer gifts, but self-harm:
"Look, Im cutting myself so please trust me"
& not going along with it brings suspicion

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

Social Media is so low down the hierarchy of places to live, it's not even physically bounded. It's a spiritual bottom-place accessed through a terminal device.

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

Social Media is the Hood/Ghetto of reality. The bottom of the caste. Instead of the physically poor being its residents; its the spiritually poor.

The online environment has become polluted.

And today I’m moving out this Hood!

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@quasischoolman @RomanosOrthodox @Rkamk241 @dionysiusmaurus @33_34Guy Yes, then in this sense I dont disagree.

Is the dispute around grace whether RCs affirm that God's uncreated Acts are distinct from His Super-existing being/essence?

As time goes by, the big differences of EO & RC seem to be ecclesiology, filioque & purgatory; unless I'm wrong.

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@quasischoolman @RomanosOrthodox @Rkamk241 @dionysiusmaurus @33_34Guy Ah I see what you're saying now. Your not wrong in what you're saying, it's just not a common way of expressing it I think.

So you would say a 'created grace' is a creature which participates in God's uncreated grace. I.E, a created manifestation of uncreated act?

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

@quasischoolman @RomanosOrthodox @Rkamk241 @dionysiusmaurus @33_34Guy The 'good' of eyesight is realy its participation in God's goodness; and uncreated act of God.

There is no "good" apart from God's goodness, which creatures can only participate in, not inherently be, otherwise the creature itself would be God.

Hope that clarifies things.

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

I think the whole film looks good in light of the end, where things are put in it's proper place even though the journey there was toilsome and difficult.

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

Just watchee The Odyssey (2026) with my wife, and Jonathan Pageau's review of it was basically spot on!

I loved it!

[Awesomedude @alsomedude1]

I basically see the film using modern subversive elements, then subverting them to the Truth or Reality regarding those subversions.

Kinda hard to put into words.
