Beware of deception

 Like Barlaam, the impressions of their wicked men were considered gods, those who lack the orthodox experience and education of theology suffer today. Saying, for example, the older Sofron (+1994), says that "when the saints arrive in the state of the theosis, they see the energy of God as Light, transform and see the glory of God." But it is easy to be fooled, and the first to be not Christians: "The light of God is uniform, while the devil is different; those who pass by Buddhism must repent completely, otherwise this eastern experience will leave something to their soul" (A13, 14). And he explains: "Buddhism has some truths, but it has a human truth that reaches to zero, that is, by concentration - meditation leads man to" no "from which we created, leads us to theology, to society with the Triune God "27 It is good to know where the truth is because it is unique, it is easy to learn and the envelopes that surround it are abundant. Large crowds of people are running to gain spiritual experiences when there is only a devastating imitation. Indeed, the hunger caused by the spirits of evil appear as angels of light or imitators of divine glory. Elder Sophronios had many real experiences of divine light but also other modern elders such as Elder Porphyry who also left us some unforgettable spiritual experiences: Many times with the grace of God I have entered another situation. Change or voice, my face came into an atmosphere of divine Light.
