The Holy Spirit testifies: “Blessed is the person who endures temptation (keeps his mind in hell but does not despair but hopes in God, Who saves from hell), because being tested, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. In temptation, no one says: ‘God is tempting me’; because God is not tempted by evil and does not tempt anyone, but each one is tempted, being drawn away by his own lust; and lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, having been committed, brings forth death” (see James 1:12-15). Each person is tempted by his own evil (hell; hell – only in me! Outside me – Paradise, the Kingdom of God!!!), outside the person – God’s Love, Divine Merciful Gentle Care! The Lord protects each person from themselves – He does not immediately show them their hell (hell, evil – only in me, outside me – Love, Goodness!), but gradually brings everyone into their personal hell. Keep your mind in hell, but do not despair – hope in God-Love, Who brings out of hell the humble, who have lost hope in themselves (and generally in “the sons of men”) and only hope in God, Who resurrects from hell – gives the Holy Spirit, fills this dark, bottomless void with the fullness of Divinity. God gives Grace to the humble, to those who have known their ruin, their hell. Christ is the Savior from hell! Therefore, the Church helps each person (catechumen) to know themselves, their sin (“I can do nothing good” – only evil I do!), their hell, the hellish disease of egoism-pride (this happens with diligent fulfillment (deeds, acts, not dreams, reflections, theorizing) of God’s commandments (all!)); and then, the one who comes to themselves (the catechumen – not themselves!), freely, consciously, from extreme need (and powerlessness to help themselves) asks God to save and entrusts, gives themselves to Christ – and such (humble) God in the operation-salvation-healing gives the Holy Spirit, gives a new Body of Life instead of the flesh of sin-death. And further – rehabilitation in the Holy Eucharist, in Spiritual life in the Body of Christ, in the Body of communion of all with all in the Holy Spirit, care of all for all… The Church does not engage in moralizing. The Church is a resuscitation, surgery, intensive therapy! And morality – is just to cover a person’s eyes so that they do not see their hell, without-Godness, bottomless void-darkness… – this is a terrible deception, self-deception (that everything is fine with me, I am polite, courteous, cultured, good, a benefactor), which will be revealed in death, when a person is dying… Therefore, the Church does not care about morality but about holiness, about sanctification by the Holy Spirit, about acquiring the Holy Spirit, about salvation from hell, the destruction of evil-egoism-pride, and not sealing it (cosmetic decorating of a corpse – “leave it to the moral, polite, courteous dead to bury their dead”). The Church is not a cosmetic (moral, which makes people moral, externally-behaviorally good) salon, but a Hospital where operations-transplants are performed, during which the flesh of sin is replaced with the Body of Christ, and not decorated with moral plaster and artificial smile-joy! In the Church, a person becomes ontologically Good by the Grace of the Holy Spirit! Let us not deceive ourselves: Christ saves from hell, therefore Christians are those saved by Christ from hell! Were we in hell, did we cry desperately from the depths of hell-perdition, mortal danger: “Lord, save!”, “Master, we perish!”. Let us not deceive ourselves – until we know our hell (and apart from it, for us, nothing else exists), no one has given us the Holy Spirit (we are not Christians) and cannot give because He Loves! A proud-egoist cannot be given Gifts – he cannot accept them because he is proud, ungrateful; only a humble person, who has known their hell, and yearns for salvation by the Holy Spirit, – only they accept the Mysteries of God as a Gift, in the Mystery of wholly giving themselves to Christ!
You cannot escape from yourself (to Rome, Jerusalem, Paradise…) and you cannot hide (under a robe, a miter, a moral, ethical, religious Pharisaical mask or behind beautiful words (“theology”, philosophy, rhetoric)) – only Christ saves from hell! Do not deceive yourself: the only Savior is Jesus Christ, Who gives the Holy Spirit! Self-salvation (with philosophies, ascetic practices, meditations, religions, sacrifices, prayers, incantations…) – is deceiving oneself, leading oneself into delusion, delaying the advent of the Kingdom of God (the Holy Spirit, Who is already poured out on all flesh! The Kingdom of God has come – It is among us: it already is in Christians and will be in all who accept It! “Receive the Holy Spirit here and now!”) in your heart!
If you are zealots of good, then no one will ever do evil to you! Because there is only one criminal in this world! – it is each one himself (because outside each one – the ocean of Divine Love, the Kingdom of God, Goodness; everything that comes to me – Blessing-Gift; everyone for me (by God’s Mercy) – Benefactors!!!). And if I, that is, the one (criminal), do good, then who will do evil to me? Then for me in the whole world, everyone – absolutely everyone (and the devil with his hell-legion of demons, and the antichrist and his servants: heretics, Satanists…) – Benefactors! (For the evil (malicious) – everything is evil and everyone is evil! For the good (merciful) – everything is good and everyone is a benefactor). Because there was one criminal (me!) and he repented! For Christians, there is no longer fear of death, hell, evil, criminals, demons… for them, everything is already Good (the evil was in them, but in baptism by the Holy Spirit, it was destroyed), everyone is Benefactors (by God’s Mercy), but they fervently pray that all people (and demons) become Good in themselves, be freed from their hells, hellish states, that all resurrect from the dead, deify, accept the Holy Spirit, become Christians! The saints (Christians) pray for every person (for all benefactors – for every person: for those who try to do good and for those who yearn for evil, especially for criminals, heretics, Satanists… who suffer terribly in their hells – they need help the most), who suffers in hell (especially for those people who are already in the third phase – there the torments of hell are particularly severe, hellish), so that they repent, so that by God’s Mercy their humble cries from the hell of their own self-egoism be “heard” by God and that they accept with a humble heart (person) the Holy Spirit, be healed, resurrect! Glory to You, God! Glory to You, God! Glory to You, Merciful God, Who teaches us by the Holy Spirit to Love Divinely and yearn for salvation for everyone and everything! Lord, Glory to You!
