In the West, it is certain that God's grace has been lost for centuries. Roman Catholics and Protestants have not fully grasped the grace of God, so it is not surprising that they cannot discern demonic imitation. But change! The success of the finer spirituality even among Orthodox Christians now reveals how much they have also lost the essence of Christianity so that they can no longer distinguish true Christianity from pseudo-Christianity. Orthodox Christians have long regarded their precious treasure of faith as a given and have neglected to use the pure gold of their teaching. How many Orthodox Christians are even aware of the existence of the basic texts of Orthodox spiritual life that teach how to distinguish between true and false spirituality, texts that give life and teachings to holy men and women who have greatly attained God?
