An iconostasis of the matrix in which we currently live

[goldendragon]

On the iconostasis upper right corner a dragon plus a rooster equal to Abraxas.
On the iconostasis, upper left corner, the same image as during the manifestation of Chnoubis. In the middle, stylized
arch or pyramid with the all-seeing eye. Both perpendicular to the left and right
dragons or reptiles, but in this case it seems to be just an image of the lower part of the torso of Abraxas and Chnoubis.
Orthodox Church of St. George, Lazaropole, Macedonia.
When I just imagine that every day thousands and millions pray for help from these Demiurges… we are in deep noodles, extremely deep, a bottomless well, or quicksand!!!

Abraxas

Chnoubis

Аnd for the cherry on the top of the cake this… that is the vision of the mechanical engineer completely recovered from schizophrenia and now healthy and former patient of Jerry Marzinsky.
Truth is stranger than fiction…right?

Father Maximos on Logismoi and the Jesus Prayer - Saint Sophia

[goldendragon]

It was all beautiful and soothing and pious with explanations and promises for a beautiful and idyllic life if you pray like this or like that until this moment, and i quote:"Beyond that point we may be snatched by Grace, which will take us wherever It wishes.”,end quote.
Wait what?Snatched?It will take us wherever it wishes? What?How is that?Why?

Should these church fathers be trusted? No. The reason is simple, they are all Jesuits or jesuit indoctrinated. Take Father Malachi for example.

[Komana]

Wow! Goldendragon, what are you basing your conclusions on? There’s no promise of “blissed out” idyllic anything with the Jesus prayer. It’s a way to keep refocusing on God instead of our own internal dialog of crud. It’s not a tranquilizer. As far as God “snatching”, we pray and reach out and seek Him. He has free will. We don’t command His response. He will take us into a deeper communion with Himself when He decides - not us. As for jesuits - that’s a roman vatican group not part of the Orthodox Church. The monks and fathers of Mount Athos, from what I’ve read, tend to be very anti masonic/jesuit. Making a routine habit to try to pray without ceasing, as St. Paul said, is simply a way to do what little we can to grow closer to the very source of our being.

[Komana]

And the “voices” Jerry Marzinsky talks about in that video really hate it when the Jesus prayer is used to silence them
Because it works!

[goldendragon]

All true. But don’t these truths make us humans slaves to what, in the absence of other knowledge, we call God or Lord?I base my conclusions on the Christian teaching about the Rapture. It is present in both the Orthodox and the Catholic Church. All in all, according to this teaching, both the living and the dead await the Rapture, which is somehow similar or the same as Snatchig otherwise said is it not?
… “to grow closer to the very source of our being”?
Doesn’t that mean that we are also something like divine purely by the nature of things? We just don’t know it yet, that is, are we asleep or in a sopor kind of state or in a coma?

[goldendragon]

Yes. It works but it is part of the Psalms of David and is a kind of song.
It is not Jesus’ prayer or song.

And furthermore…

“We have a predator that came from the depths of the cosmos and took over the rule of our lives. Human beings are its prisoners. The Predator is our lord and master. It has rendered us docile, helpless. If we want to protest, it suppresses our protest. If we want to act independently, it demands that we don’t do so… I have been beating around the bush all this time, insinuating to you that something is holding us prisoner. Indeed we are held prisoner! “This was an energetic fact for the sorcerers of ancient Mexico … They took us over because we are food for them, and they squeeze us mercilessly because we are their sustenance. just as we rear chickens in chicken coops, the predators rear us in human coops, humaneros. Therefore, their food is always available to them.” “No, no, no, no,” [Carlos replies] “This is absurd don Juan. What you’re saying is something monstrous. It simply can’t be true, for sorcerers or for average men, or for anyone.” “Why not?” don Juan asked calmly. “Why not? Because it infuriates you? … You haven’t heard all the claims yet. I want to appeal to your analytical mind. Think for a moment, and tell me how you would explain the contradictions between the intelligence of man the engineer and the stupidity of his systems of beliefs, or the stupidity of his contradictory behaviour. Sorcerers believe that the predators have given us our systems of belief, our ideas of good and evil, our social mores. They are the ones who set up our hopes and expectations and dreams of success or failure. They have given us covetousness, greed, and cowardice. It is the predators who make us complacent, routinary, and egomaniacal.” “‘But how can they do this, don Juan? [Carlos] asked, somehow angered further by what [don Juan] was saying. “'Do they whisper all that in our ears while we are asleep?” “'No, they don’t do it that way. That’s idiotic!” don Juan said, smiling. "They are infinitely more efficient and organized than that. In order to keep us obedient and meek and weak, the predators engaged themselves in a stupendous manoeuvre stupendous, of course, from the point of view of a fighting strategist. A horrendous manoeuvre from the point of view of those who suffer it. They gave us their mind! Do you hear me? The predators give us their mind, which becomes our mind. The predators’ mind is baroque, contradictory, morose, filled with the fear of being discovered any minute now.” “I know that even though you have never suffered hunger… you have food anxiety, which is none other than the anxiety of the predator who fears that any moment now its manoeuvre is going to be uncovered and food is going to be denied. Through the mind, which, after all, is their mind, the predators inject into the lives of human beings whatever is convenient for them. And they ensure, in this manner, a degree of security to act as a buffer against their fear.” “The sorcerers of ancient Mexico were quite ill at ease with the idea of when [the predator] made its appearance on Earth. They reasoned that man must have been a complete being at one point, with stupendous insights, feats of awareness that are mythological legends nowadays. And then, everything seems to disappear, and we have now a sedated man. What I’m saying is that what we have against us is not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system to render us useless. Man, the magical being that he is destined to be, is no longer magical. He’s an average piece of meat.” "There are no more dreams for man but the dreams of an animal who is being raised to become a piece of meat: trite, conventional, imbecilic.”

True freedom lies In my humble opinion that is true freedom lies somewhere across or beyond the eagle.
And the eagle is just a metaphor, that is, a vision or the final border that we humans have to cross.

You make some good points, Goldendragon. I agree with Jerry Marzinski that non-physical entities can hurl nasty thoughts at us - that some of the thoughts we notice are not actually our own. The greek word is “logismos”. And learning to discern them and reject them is a basic part of spiritual practice/warfare. I also agree with you that we are up against relentless spiritual predators. I don’t think they built religion from scratch so much as infiltrated or infected it. As for “the very source of our being”, I believe we are created in the image and likeness of an uncreated creator. Yes there is something “divine-ish” at our core, if I may phrase it that way. But I for one have yet to get the hang of omniscience and omnipotence. So my image and likeness is stained or polluted or marred or all of the above. So the process of healing all that takes more than I can manage. All I can do is turn away from my crud and toward Love Himself. In a word, repent - thats my part. Healing it takes Him.
As for Lordship, my own urges and appetites, likes and dislikes, when I let them (all too often!) drive my thoughts and behavior - they are my “gods” - that I cobbled up in my own image and likeness. Lord Jesus Christ,have mercy on me.
