      No Comments on Wisdom of the Logos

Vision of God

      No Comments on Vision of God

The vision of God is not like the visual perception of something created, nor like the sight of something seen by the senses or grasped by the mind.  Only God sees God, but wisdom, which is God’s vision of God, is shared by the Holy Spirit with those who turn, metanoia, and see, theoria.  God transcends sight but the vision of God… Read more »

Recognition

      No Comments on Recognition

Recognition empowers remembrance of God to know as it is known, wedding God in the heart through holy union and sanctifying communion.  Cognition without recognition remains unconscious of union, separate from the communion of saints, fixating frozen hardness of heart.  Cognition with recognition remembers God, unites with God, partakes in God’s hallowing communion through Christ in the Spirit, hallowing the conjugal Name….

Name-hallowing glorification of God reveals God in act in his deifying energies as wisdom, discerning God in act in his ever-present energies of glory, regenerating Holy Orthodoxy when it is tempted and brought low by confusion and division.  Name-hallowing wisdom is holy theophany manifesting hallowing glory, communicating sound glorification, regenerating institutional Orthodox forms in ways that transfigure them as wisdom.  The Lord’s… Read more »
