“I am Saint Athanasius.
You live in a time in which many heresies are acceptable by all degrees of intelligence, by all types of individuals. Heresy is many times not identifiable, because it is spoken about or practiced as a two-sided or three-sided, or four-sided manipulative manner of discussion, of promotion, of decision, of interpretation.
There are many times that conversation on the importance of Spiritual values bears a resemblance to what mankind would refer to as ‘debate’, or ‘opinions’ that should be heard, no matter how indiscreet, confusing, or strictly humanistic the subject matter is.
Mankind many times vows to reach high educational levels. This in many ways has much merit, but one should practice the ability to discern the value of each thing learned. Discernment is not always an important part of an individual’s thinking or practice, because discernment sometimes involves much more concentration on the value of a particular subject or practice of an individual.
There are billions of books written on all subjects, and not all these books are pointed to the protection of individuals’ Souls; in fact, it is a rarity to find one dedicated to that particular subject, that bears the Importance of this subject, and how an individual should practice holding his or her Soul in great esteem, always protecting It, because the Soul is a Portion of God, and if God were to come to your home for a visit, would you not want everything to look just right for The Creator of All Things?
If each man, woman and child would address each day with the idea that their Soul, a Portion of God, would be present every moment of that day, logic says purity would reign, and love for God would be in every heart of every human being. So be it.”
