Liminal realms of uncreated creativity may appear marginal from an institutional point of view, but wisdom loves liminality which centres in God rather than institutional structures. Axial centredness is God-centred, because what appears peripheral from the standpoint of conventional conformity, may in fact be the axis of centred wisdom, the centre-point of integral glorification. Uncreated creativity unites the uncreated with creation… Read more »

Multi-dimensional awareness is natural to wisdom just as multi-dimensional presence is characteristic of glory, opening glorification way beyond the three dimensions of space; namely, length, breadth and height, and the fourth dimension of time. Wisdom begins as a fifth dimension and glory as a sixth, but go on transcending as they unite in the seventh dimension of ineffable oneness. The eighth dimension of… Read more »
Wisdom reveals Holy Trinity as God’s witness to God in God, divine reciprocation, answering the Spirit’s witness to the Son, who reveals the glory of the Father. Reciprocation occurs whenever the invocation of God hallows the saving Name, bestowing the reign of God on those who invoke grace in the Name of Jesus, fulfilling the Lord’s Prayer. The remembrance of God in… Read more »
Holy Orthodoxy is not an ethnic commitment but a martyr’s costly witness, willingly laying down one’s life for the Holy Name of God. The Name asks, who is it who says I AM? God answers, it is I: ‘I AM HE,’ revealing God, through the Holy Name of God. I am ‘HE WHO IS,’ unveiling God in your midst. I… Read more »

The way of glorification is ineffable in at least two ways, the hallowing way of glorification of God and the sanctifying way of glorification by God. The greater the glorification of God, the greater the glorification by God, which is the ineffable mystery of mutual, doxological reciprocation. From the beginning, reciprocation reveals the co-inherence of God and humanity, unfathomable in its… Read more »
The Spirit of Truth is Truth, not our conceptual perception of something true, so if we remain attached to perception, what we have is perception, not Truth, nor the Spirit of Truth. Awakening to the Spirit of Truth transcends perception but includes intuitive apperception which wisdom infuses in the Spirit. Truth is not something or nothing, nor is it exhausted… Read more »
