Don’t know if you check these comments from older posts, but I am looking into Orthodox Christianity for the first time I am astounded at what I’m reading here. I have a completely different background and have myself written something almost identical, and read some books from my same background who have written the same. This gives me something to think about the next couple weeks. Thank you

This is an excellent summation of the three stages of the spiritual life. I'm currently reading "Remember Thy First Love" By Archimandrite Zaccharias (slowly!). I suspect I've hit the 2nd stage a couple of times in the past, but not understanding, I shrunk back into the illusory comforts of sin. Thankfully, God, in His great mercy, rescued me and set me back on the path. Feeling the pains of stage 2 again now, but with a better understanding of what's going on. Lord have mercy.
