Conversation with a Mystic

A dialogue with Dr. Charles Ashanin, a beloved professor of Early Church History, a clairvoyant friend, and a passionate Orthodox from Montenegro. Though he was "born into Heaven" in 2000, Charles remains very much present in the hearts and minds of his many friends. A book on his life was just released this year (2006) entitled "Mystic in the Graveyard" and can be found on Amazon.com
This studio conversation was taped years ago, but the wisdom of Dr. Ashanin and the tradition he represents is alive and well and available to the viewer if you choose to click the play button.
A new book has just been published on his deep thought:
The Transformation of Suffering: Charles B. Ashanin's Theology of Humanity' s Evolution by Peter Denbo Haskins.

Protestants or any Christian who has pursued the deeper life will be and are (speaking for myself), in absolute unity with this "Orthodox" view. It is, in fact, not Orthodox: it is Christian.

This is the best video on Orthodox Christianity that I have seen on YouTube. Thank you.

I think we need to recuperate a true Biblical mysticism in the 21st century. Postmodern man is crying out for a deep Scriptural spirituality and an experience of the holy.
