Death To The World
I’d like to preface this with one important thing: this site takes direct inspiration from my favorite Christian magazine: Death To The World: “A zine to promote truth-seeking and soul-searching amidst the modern age of nihilism and despair.” And as they did, I will elucidate why I and them say: “Death To The World.”
ξΓΘΗ
The words of Saint Isaac the Syrian:
“The world” is the general name for all the passions. When we wish to call the passions by a common name, we call them the world. But when we wish to distinguish them by their special names, we call them passions. The passions are the following: love of riches, desire for possessions, bodily pleasure from which comes sexual passion, love of honor which gives rise to envy, lust for power, arrogance and pride of position, the craving to adorn oneself with luxurious clothes and vain ornaments, the itch for human glory which is a source of rancor and resentment, and physical fear. Where these passions cease to be active, there the world is dead…. Someone has said of the Saints that while alive they were dead; for though living in the flesh, they did not live for the flesh. See for which of these passions you are alive. Then you will know how far you are alive to the world, and how far you are dead to it.”
What That Means
This site will serve as a means of info for those who want to achieve this death, discarding obsession with the Kingdom of Man to become more acquainted with the Kingdom of God. Here you will see my findings: books, videos, channels, and more. All pertaining to the study of one thing: The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
