"The
very core of the Biblical tradition is that religion is a specific
sickness with a specific cure."
-
"That
there is a clear distinction between Biblical terms which denote
that which is 'uncreated' and that which is 'created'."
-
"That
it is impossible to explain God, and even more impossible to form
a concept appropriate to Him."
-
"That
the cure of the sickness of religion involves at all stages 'the
transformation of selfish happiness-seeking love' into the
selfless love of one's own crucifixion, which is glorification."
-
"That
the expressions about God in the Bible are not intended to convey
concepts about God. They only act as means to guide one to the
purification and illumination of the heart and finally to
glorification by the Pre-incarnate and incarnate Lord of Glory.
"
The
imaginative capabilities of the animal mind, active in daydreaming,
normally give the animal-awareness power over the semantic
layer. Unless this condition of our semantic nature is overcome,
the psyche remains permanently unable to prevent the domination of the
individual’s power of choice by his/her animal nature.
And
Palamas tells us that Saint Paul sometimes speaks of this wisdom as
‘human wisdom’, as when he says, “’My preaching does not
rest on the persuasive words of human wisdom,’ (Romans
1:21.)
And again [he says], ‘We
do not speak in words which teach human wisdom.’
But at the same time, he thinks it right to call those who have
acquired this wisdom ‘wise men according to the flesh,’(1
Corinthians 1:26.)
or ‘wise men become fools,’ (Romans
1:22.)
“the disputants of this age,’ (1
Corinthians 1:20.)
and their wisdom is qualified by him in similar terms: It is ‘wisdom
become folly,’ the ‘wisdom which has been done away,’ ‘vain
trumpery,’ ‘the ‘wisdom of this age,’ and it 'belongs
to the princes of this age who are coming to an end.” (I
Corinthians 2:6.)
