Amazon description: “What is the ancient Christian understanding of today’s UFO sightings? What is behind the Charismatic Movement? What phenomena are assaulting Christianity in our modern world? How can Christians avoid being caught up in the Apostasy?
ORTHODOXY AND THE RELIGION OF THE FUTURE examines in eight chapters these and similar questions facing Christians in the contemporary world. The religious phenomena of today are symptoms of a “new religious consciousness” that is preparing the world religion of the future. Phenomena such as Yoga, Zen, Tantra, Transcendental Meditation, Maharaj-ji, Hare Krishna, UFOs, the Charismatic Movement and Jonestown are presented in contrast to the Orthodox Patristic standard of spiritual life, without the understanding of which, in the coming time of antichrist, it will scarcely be possible for Christians to be saved.
This work is a concise and unequivocal Orthodox statement on contemporary trends; its urgent message rings loud and clear. Viewed from a foundation based in Patristic teachings, the spiritual movements of the day are clearly various spiritual deceptions that have existed since the beginning of the Church, rather than the achievements of a new religious consciousness. Addressing soberly and directly the trends of pseudo-spirituality which loom enticingly today, ORTHODOXY AND THE RELIGION OF THE FUTURE provides a beacon of discernment in these times of widespread spiritual deception. The book examines a broad spectrum of issues facing modern Christians–each from the perspective of the early Church Fathers. As the “New Age” is becoming a household concept and is moving into wider acceptance by mainstream society, the “new religious consciousness” can be seen progressing precisely along the lines described by the late Fr. Seraphim”.

God bless brother .
Thank you, these are so well done!
So good, I can't listen to it without being broken.
Tell me if there’s still holiness in Mount Athos? I am a new convert, but I am struggling with this question, if there is no holiness, it is terrible for me, but I need to know. A a proof of their holiness would be their not going with the ecumenical current of prayer indifferent to truth, and these demonic dialogues and "mixing of religions" in the soup of the new world order.
Words cannot express what I feel right now, except that I have been a deceptive Christian my whole life.
Thank you.
God bless you for putting out these brilliant videos
Question: The first two books of the Imitation of Christ are all centered around repentance, and the book is rather famed for how its inspired great contrition in people. Its not until you are in the second half of the Imitation that it begins to speak of greater spiritual things that are only obtainable AFTER one's own repentance. So, how is it that a book like that inspires spiritual prelest? It seems to me that if anything, it explicitly calls one to first find repentance, and avoid spiritual "feelings", visions, etc.
I'm just curious, as it seemed to me as though the critiques of the Imitation came from one who only read very small portions of the book.
