  • The Problems with the Toll House Theory
    Law Without Grace: The Problems with the Toll House Theory Matthew Raphael Johnson Johnstown, PA The Aerial Toll-House debate is strange only in that it derives from a dream, and a bizarre one at that. The dreamer is not a saint and his actual identity is open to dispute. The sequence of events is related in the text The Tale of Theodora and the Aerial Toll-Houses.1 St. Theodora lived in Constantinople during the 10th century. A widow, she became a nun under St. Basil the New and became a solitary. When she reposed at a great age, Gregory, a student, asked Basil to speak of the saintly nun's ascent to heaven.2 This Gregory fell asleep that night, and “a youth of comely appearance came to him.” This is supposed to be an angel. He said to “Come quickly, Father Basil summons you to visit Theodora.” He quickly followed the angel, while asleep, and soon found himself in a labyrinth. Such a labyrinth is an ancient symbol of Gnostic initiation (see more below). In addition, Julius Evola argues that “Toll Gates” are an essential and foundational element of Mithratic Initiation. Variations of the “toll gates” are discovered in most non- and pre-Christian movements. He came upon a bolted gateway, and he yelled through a keyhole to an unidentified woman there, who informed him that this is where Fr. Basil speaks with his “children.” Gregory is depicted as banging on the door, demanding to be let in. This is hardly the monastic way. Then, Theodora arrives and begins to tell Gregory about the Toll Houses.

  • Self-Help for Anxiety Practical Suggestions
    Self-help for Anxiety Practical suggestions I’ve been asked for practical suggestions for people who are especially anxious about the financial crisis–—or anxious in general. Have you been feeling “edgy”… tense… irritable? Do you tire easily but find it hard to get a good night’s sleep? Do worries make it hard to concentrate or do you “go blank”? If this has been going on for awhile, it’s time to give yourself a break! Here are possibilities to relieve the body, mind, and spirit. Before making changes in diet, supplements, or exercise, it would be a good idea to consult with your physician. Likewise, if you have longstanding or debilitating symptoms, have your physician rule out organic causes. Group 1: To help the body release anxious tension • Learn the art of deep breathing from the diaphragm. Shallow breaths cue the body to tense up. Deep breaths cue our body to relax more. • Yawning also cues the body to relax. • Sip often on water, tea, or other healthy beverages–—hot or cold. Swallowing cues your body to relax. In a pinch, using concentration, you can increase saliva flow with the same result. • Eat well. Lots of produce and foods with B vitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. • Avoid caffeine, sugar, and processed foods. On the go it’s tempting, but in the long run, it makes you feel worse. • Avoid alcohol and any sedatives. They can make anxiety worse. • Learn the art of progressive muscle relaxation. There are many good self-help books and even guided recordings to progressive muscle relaxation on the internet.

  • ON IDEALISM and THOMAS MERTON by Fr. Seraphim Rose
    On Idealism Fr. Seraphim Rose 3 4 On Idealism devote yourself especially to the question of "peace." In an age A letter from Fr. Seraphim Rose to Roman Catholic monk, Fr. Thomas when war has become virtually "impossible," this is, of course, of Merton. 1962 central concern to any Christian, but your remarks particularly on this subject have left me troubled. Dear Fr. Merton, What, first of all, are the real antagonists of the spiritual I am a young American convert to Russian Orthodoxy-not warfare of our age? To say "Russia and America" is, of course, the vague "liberal" spirituality of too many modern Russian trivial; the enemy, as you say, "is in all of us." But you further say, "religious thinkers," but the full ascetic and contemplative "The enemy is war itself" and its roots, "hatred, fear, selfishness, Orthodoxy of the Fathers and Saints-who have for some years lust." been studying the spiritual "crisis" of our time, and am at present Now I can quite agree with you that war today, at least writing a book on the subject. In the course of my study I have "total war," is quite unjustifiable by any Christian standard, for the had occasion to read the works of a great number of Roman simple, reason that its "unlimited" nature escapes measure of any Catholic authors, some which (those, for example, of Pieper, sort. The point in your argument that disturbs me is your Picard, Gilson, P. Danielo, and P. de Lubac) I have found quite statement that the only alternative to such war is "peace." helpful and not, after all, too distant from the Orthodox The alternative to "total war' would seem to be "total perspective, but others of which I have found quite disturbing in peace;' but what does such a "peace" imply? You say, "we must try the light of what seems to me the plain teaching of the universal as best we can to work for the eventual abolition" of war; and that Church.

That was during the early 70s, during the Jesus Movement, when some of these young people were very much on fire with preaching the gospel and so on.

Seraphim Rose NOT TOO MANY years ago the Abbess of a convent of the Russian Orthodox Church, a woman of righteous life, was delivering a sermon in the convent church on the feast of the Dormition of the Most Holy Mother of God. With tears she entreated her nuns and the pilgrims who had come for the feast to accept entirely and wholeheartedly what the Church hands down to us, taking such pains to preserve this tradition sacredly all these centuries-and not to choose for oneself what is "important" and what is "dispensable"; for by thinking oneself wiser than the tradition, one may end by losing the tradition. Thus, when the Church tells us in her hymns and icons that the Apostles were miraculously gathered from the ends of the earth in order to be present at the repose and burial of the Mother of God, we as Orthodox Christians are not free to deny this or reinterpret it, but must believe as the Church hands it down to us, with simplicity of heart.

  • Contra Tollhouses: the Dormition of the Theotokos
    Contra Tollhouses: The Dormition of the Theotokos It was Bright Monday of 2009 when the call came. I had just finished up the Divine Liturgy for that morning when the nurse informed me that I needed to get to my mother’s apartment as soon as possible. Mom had been in home hospice care for two weeks as she slowly succumbed to end stage pulmonary fibrosis. She was actively dying. I arrived at mom’s apartment, phoned my wife, and sat down with mom. A few hours later, the strangest thing happened. The power went out around 1:25 p.m. The entire apartment complex was without power. Since it was a bright sunny spring day, we had the bedroom window open. I remember the utter silence. It was then that the nurse, having observed the changes in mom’s breathing, said, “She’s leaving us.” I held mom’s hand and told her it was o.k. to go. After a few minutes, she stopped breathing. The nurse got a stethoscope and we both confirmed that mom was dead. Seconds later, the power came back on, and the background noise levels returned like the tide rushing in. The power outage lasted less than ten minutes. The nurse and I looked at each other in astonishment over the sequence of events. The nurse asked me, “Did things just happen the way I think they happened?” We both knew that we had experienced something deeply spiritual. As devastated as I was at the loss of my mother, I still felt an inner peace; something that only Christ can bring to a mournful soul.

  • The Rose and the Stag. an American Orthodox Conversation on Modernity, Science, and Biblical Interpretation
    The Rose and the Stag. An American Orthodox Conversation on Modernity, Science, and Biblical Interpretation 10.1484/J.ALMAGEST.5.116769 40 41 Christopher Howell Duke University, Durham, NC E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Though the Orthodox in America remain a small minority, two figures –the monk Seraphim Rose and the theologian David Bentley Hart– have nevertheless exerted great influence on Christianity both within and without the United States. In comparing these two figures, the multifarious perspectives of American Orthodox on science, theology, and biblical herme- neutics can be seen up close. Though, at first, Rose and Hart may seem at first to have little in common, they agree on one foundational issue: that modernity is essentially nihilistic The Rose and the Stag. An American Orthodox Conversation on Modernity, Science, and Biblical Interpretation Biblical and American An Stag. Orthodox Science, the Modernity, Conversation and on Rose The and is the result of the world’s inexorable slide away from Christianity into “nothingness.” However, while they share this diagnosis of what ails the modern world, they differ wildly in their solution to it, illustrating how wide the chasm can truly be between two members of the same church. Rose was deeply hostile to ecumenism and evolutionary biology, finding Christopher Howell: refuge in a creationism he thought backed by the Church Fathers. Conversely, Hart argues there is only hope in ecumenical unity, and he rejects creationism and Intelligent Design, arguing instead for the classical doctrine of creatio ex nihilo, an understanding of the natural world as intrinsically teleological, and a biblical hermeneutic based not on literalism but reading ad litteram.
