Early Christian Mysticism: The Jesus Prayer

Discover the transformative wisdom at the origins of Christianity developed in the deserts of Egypt and Syria. These practical teachings handed down through the Apostles and the illumined Elders of the first centuries have been lost to the Western world for a thousand years. Return to the source where the spiritual power and pristine revelations of the Christ provided a timeless healing and enlightenment for the soul in search of meaning and Truth.

Invaluable work, trascending the limitations of group mentality, humanity benefits from great lectures/teachings like this, thank you!!!

As a former Evangelical Christian who is now Eastern Orthodox, I'm glad to find this hear. The Jesus Prayer is a gift to all Christians and is but one of many practical disciplines that give expression to our faith moment to moment, aiding us in dispelling "the thoughts," resisting the devil and learning to pray without ceasing. Thanks for posting!
