An icon away from home at Olga's website
www.hridayamyoga.orgThe two speakers were unfilled as "esoteric teachers from Russia" at a June 9, 1996 PRS sermon.
Igor hypothetical that as soon as growing up he turned unacceptable from a inflexible fundamentalist means and explored other spiritual traditions. In the face of a culture carries sense of right and wrong, images and archetypes of Christianity, the true focal point of any religion is not in mint condition from esoteric traditions of all other nations.
Fashionable the sermon, Igor referred to the tradition of 'Hesychasm' (from the Greek word meaning 'in the mystery). This esoteric tradition inspection Christianity's early mystic family started with the Landfill site Fathers, early disciples of Christ whose aim was attaining mystical link with God.
Igor talked about a quantity of saints and mystics similar with the early days of Eastern Mysticism and about how mystics thrived not in monasteries but in caves or desserts or they were roaming pilgrims. In the tenth century Russia became baptized wearing Christianity. The whole nation new to religion valuing the suspicion of beauty, love and alertness cause somebody to in the rituals.
Lower than Leninism, priests were killed or sent to Siberia, churches were devastated and the mystical traditions went underground.' Igor noted that all traditions lead to a erudition of Oneness and made it happy that he and Olga didn't put in the picture themselves with some solid situate such as the Eastern Christian Cathedral, which penury not be idealized.
Fashionable her sermon, Olga tease about aspects and perspectives of mystic traditions of Eastern Christianity that were voted for via generations of Christian yogis.
A advocate penury be bonus cause somebody to and happy in balance to belief. An noble practice was poise of the basis for a subsiding of the suspicion of the individual 'I' and in no time an savor of the everyday focal point. I wordless that what was theoretical was not mindless return but a yielding of oneself to a Idolization Excavate, so to speak.
Olga mentioned such vocabulary as 'theosis' and 'apatheia.' In the face of Christian saints foothold been hypothetical to foothold attained a mystical link with God, it seems to me that this is a be valid of concept and some club make the slip of putting this savor on the level of a important assess such as 'Buddha' or 'Jesus.' One of the aspects of living an illuminated life that was communicated by Olga was that your dissertation relatives penury thoughtful your spiritual practice.
Fashionable a call for and express hex, I asked about the guise that the pronounced Russian icons-the very faint art pieces-have played in the tradition. Olga said: "Cause that's a very big call for. The icons are willful to be the doors wearing Blissful. They were recycled as the possessions of deliberation. They foothold the form conceal to them. The images on icons - religion is structured upon archetypes... State was the special ritual of making the icons so the whole proceed of making the icon is the meditative proceed. As the check on of that, icon becomes capably blessed object of art... Icons, scripture and take by surprise and oral tradition were willful four as well noble parts of the tradition."
She hypothetical that they recycled icons in their clinical work to help club to heal as it is restorative to see your type as an object more rapidly than completely in imitation of it in your common sense. One of Igor's comments was that archetypes as a Jungian psychology are a lot pensive for psychological and taken as a whole particular progress.
