АЗ-03. Третья Беседа об исихазме

Açıklama:

At 00:58 the speaker opens by discussing whether Orthodox faith can be described as a Palamite synthesis. At 22:22 he explains Gregory Palamas’ teaching that constant prayer is required of all, including laypeople, and whether they too must enter contemplative practice. At 29:11 he outlines what happens at the second and third stages of the Jesus prayer. At 50:05 he shares a personal struggle with habitually neglecting prayer and asks how to break free from that pattern. At 59:50 he questions whether prayer should be formed on the exhale and compares it to a singing technique that uses breath. At 1:07:40 he considers whether simply cutting thoughts is sufficient and how to “place the mind in words.” At 1:11:50 he describes the difficulties that arise when praying, suggesting that obstacles may be deliberately set to deter. At 1:16:53 he explains the purpose of the “small person syndrome.” At 1:20:50 he discusses the lack of guidance for laypeople and whether success is possible without experienced mentors. At 1:42:42 he asks whether anyone has truly achieved the fruits of the Holy Spirit. At 1:44:05 he reflects on the relationship between lay and monastic life and the limits of following monastic advice. At 1:50:10 he compares hesychasm with pacifism.
