Its the Jesus Prayer that open the door to this spiritual reality. Turning this key ….
turning this key…. turning this is a great wheel … we enter the kingdom….
Which is love… and the love both the key and the kingdom.
In this realm we join the intercommunion (perichoresis) with the Persons of Trinity.
Its Time of Theosis when you are so far apart of the railed road
and this ‘time has passed by” indeed is the time of theosis
while the ‘winds’ of another world are playing with your hair.

Suspicion is the sin which separate from God. Whom are we suspecting and in what?
I knew yesterday the saints at church - do they suspect us in something? No. They can’t.
Their single privilege is in that they only can love. Are they in any danger? No. Never with Christ.
Jesus couldn’t say to the people ‘don’t crucify me”. He couldn’t.
Do you understand this? Do not suspect
nobody and never.
