YOGA IS SATANIC

It is next when you mistakenly start to fall into mistakes. And like Barlaam himself, without repentance, he saw visions of the wicked, so people, much more now, in the era of spiritual globalization, are exposed to confusion by the promotion of every heresy and fallacy alongside Orthodoxy, unable to distinguish what is from God and what is imitation made by the wicked. Some even think they can use Eastern exercises (such as yoga, concentration, etc.) at the same time as the Orthodox exercises (fasting, Jesus' wish, vigil, etc.). It is necessary, however, to stay in Orthodox teaching that gives priority to the purification of the human heart. When, respectively, the Church, which is like a heart that keeps all of it alive, and humanity, cleansed from the mistakes surrounding it, once the "strong angel" creates the right conditions for the great Synax, then all will be ready to accept the word of God, just like the pure heart of one person makes it ready to receive true revelation of God. 10.70. As Varlaam, the impressions of the wicked thought them as gods; the same is true of those who lack the Orthodox experience and education of theology and are suffering today. He says, for example, the Elder Sophronios (+1994), that "the saints, when they reach the state of theosis, see the energy of God as Light, transform, and they see the glory of God. But it is easy to be fooled, and the first ones who are not Christians: "The light of God is uniform, while the devil is dissimilar. Those who passed by Buddhism should repent altogether; otherwise, this eastern experience will leave something in their soul" (A13,14). And it explains: "Buddhism has some truths, but it has a human truth that reaches up to the 'zero,' that is, with concentration—meditation leads man to it "not" from which we were created. It's an existential suicide. THE Christ leads us to theosis, communion with the Triune God. " 27 It is good to know where the truth is, because it is unique; it is easy to learn, while the envelopes that surround it are abundant. Big crowds of people are running to gain spiritual experiences where there is only one pernicious imitation of true experiences, caused by the spirits of wickedness appear as angels of light or imitators of divine glory. Elder Sophronius had many true experiences of divine light, but also other modern elders such as Elder Porphyry, who also left us some memorable spiritual experiences: "Many times with the grace of God I have entered into another situation. Changed, or my voice, my face came into an atmosphere of divine Light.
