i _am_ talking about eastern christiniaty, which is spiritual successor of Byzantine christianity.
and esoteric eastern orthodox christianity _is_ hesychasm which i described. they have the saying "the heart of christianity is orthtodox christianity, the heart of orthodox christianity is hesychasm". one of the prominent centers of eastern orthodox christianity is Mount Athos (Greece), which is the center of hesychasm.
Let's simplificate. In my response I was talking about orthodox Christianity.

OK I understand now.
Firstly, we must not forget the possibility of distortion in the channeling.
Well, I see both paths as valid. But I understand what they meant. It is that nowadays it is more valuable or useful to live in cities and seek the ideal processing of catalysis and the constant refinement of energy centers. This is due to the large amount of catalysis available for learning when dealing with others. The Buddhist or yogic path are more restrictive and isolating. But as Ra said, one learns faster from other beings because they are mirrors of ourselves:
Quote:The quickest way to learn is to deal with other-selves. This is a much greater catalyst than dealing with the self. Dealing with the self without other-selves is akin to living without what you would call mirrors. Thus, the self cannot see the fruits of its beingness. Thus, each may aid each by reflection. This is also a primary reason for the weakening of the physical vehicle, as you call the physical complex.(19.13)
Well, I look for a mix of both ways. I will not isolate myself at the top of a mountain. I live in the city and work, but I will renounce that distorted / negative as far as possible. I see the Buddhist and Yoga systems as powerful catalysts for our learning. There are, for example, certain meditations that deal with the reaction to catalysis every second. A kind of meditation at every moment. They also have a lot of metaphysical knowledge about reality. Anyway, I think it is possible to mix both.
