    A note of clarification, especially for the non-orthodox. Father Stephen is engaging in speculation, offering a perspective to consider. It is also a self admitted early speculation, as he is still working out his thinking on it. He is not presenting "The Orthodox View" in a dogmatic sense. He is pondering deep mysteries, which is worthwhile and greatly apppreciated, but deep mysteries they remain.
    Much love to the Symbolic World folks for sharing this lecture.

      @forthegloryofthelord it's not thought police. If someone attends an Orthodox service, this is not likely the sort of thing you will hear in the Homily, and folks unfamiliar with Orthodoxy might be confused about what is speculation and what is clear doctrine.

      ​​​@@forthegloryofthelordyour remark was intentionally hurtful and uncalled for. Matthias is right. This is NOT an Orthodox dogma or even remotely something you will hear in church, except for the "little onion tale". I like Fr. Stephen, but as the one who is tasked with tending the flock, he has to be extra careful. Sorry to say, but this talk reeked of Protestantism. And this is one big problem with the recent tide of new converts to Orthodoxy: they bring their Protestant demons with them.

    • @andreeampatrasc
      @andreeampatrasc 19 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      It's not speculation. It is part of what the Saints / Church Fathers in Orthodoxy explain in their writings in the Filokalia which is a series of books that explain the teachings of the Bible and the way we should all transform towards salvation and be born again spiritually in this life in order to live with and in God. :)

      @andreeampatrasc can you cite where in the Philokalia this is addressed? Not trying to be argumentative, but I would expect Father Stephen to cite a Saint or church father if there was one who clearly held this position.

    The more I listen to Fr. Stephen and Fr. Andrew both in the Lord of spirits podcast and elsewhere, the more the Orthodox understanding is illuminated to me, the more I just marvel at how this true meaning of Christianity has been hidden to us for so long. I had these questions, these doubts, and when no one was able to answer I gave up on God and gave up on Christ. The view that I am seeing from the Orthodox is so radically different and yet familiar, it removes a great deal of the stumbling blocks to my faith, I just can't believe this is really Christianity and I never knew it existed.

    Victor Frankl says something similar about rescuing good into the eternal past
    >> Those things which seem to take meaning away from human life include not only suffering but dying as well. I never tire of saying that the only really transitory aspects of life are the potentialities; but as soon as they are actualized, they are rendered realities at that very moment; they are saved and delivered into the past, wherein they are rescued and preserved from transitoriness. For, in the past, nothing is irretrievably lost but everything irrevocably stored

    A thought on this: if the goal of the Faith is to grow ever closer to God, and what preserves in eternity is our identity as found in our relationships, then our Eternity is not a "groundhog day" where we repeat our lives, as another commenter put it, but our lives are joined to the lives of the everyone else as we find our common root in God. All the good of all the lives, the chaff burned away, lived out together.

I do think people in the comments could be a little more gracious towards him. I found him at his best here, yes he talks too much-but he would confess to that and often does. Nonetheless I enjoyed their interaction at the end, I thought it added value.

    The problem with this perspective is that (despite all that is true about how we 'create' a heaven or hell for ourselves in this life), what is the role of the cross in this? Where is redemption? We certainly can't save ourselves! The life of Jesus and the cross was more than an example for us to follow. It accomplished a redemption for us that we receive by faith.

    Peterson's talk of reanimating Neitzche from the dead via LLMs is disturbing. Immediately brings to mind a clip of his speaking on another podcast about this venture, where he talked about training an LLM on the bible and how you could 'capture the spirit of the text' this way. Perhaps it didn't occur to him that what he was describing sounds a lot like deus ex machina (creating god out of the machine). At any rate, trying to pull wisdom out of a black box prone to hallucination, with no way to determine the manner in which it's decisions are made, seems a fools errand. Let the dead rest. This criticism aside, Father Stephen's talk was very interesting.

    Aurelius and Sophia sat quietly, the candle between them flickering in the cool night air. After a while, Aurelius ventured, “Sophia, you speak of resurrection and of life infused with divine purpose. But tell me-what do you believe happens after we die? Is there a journey, a transformation, or simply a return to the Source?”
    Sophia took a deep breath, as if drawing wisdom from the silence around them. “I believe that death is not the end, but a passage-a threshold we cross into deeper union with God. And yet, I think that what we find beyond death depends on the lives we live here and now. In Jesus, we see that God treasures each soul and seeks to draw us closer. When we die, I believe we are invited further into that love, to be transformed by it.”
    Aurelius nodded thoughtfully. “So you think our journey continues after death, not just as a merging into the One, but as a kind of ongoing communion with the divine?”
    “Yes,” Sophia replied. “I see it as a deepening of relationship, a life that grows ever fuller as we draw nearer to the heart of God. For those open to divine love, it is a movement toward fullness and healing. But for those who resist, who cling to shadows, that love might feel like a purifying fire, stripping away all that keeps them from seeing God. It is as if death is a doorway, and we pass through it to meet the truth of ourselves and of God.”
    Aurelius considered this. “In Neoplatonic thought, we speak of the soul’s ascent, its release from the material world to return to the One. But you’re suggesting that after death, we do not lose our identities, our uniqueness?”
    Sophia’s eyes were gentle. “I believe that the One holds and cherishes every soul’s uniqueness. The resurrection is a promise that the things that make us who we are-our loves, our sorrows, our longings-are precious to God. After death, we do not vanish into the Source like drops in the ocean; rather, we are drawn closer, becoming more fully ourselves as we grow in divine love.”
    Aurelius’s face softened as he listened. “So, you imagine that even after death, we continue to grow and deepen? That eternity is not static but alive with movement and love?”
    “Yes,” said Sophia. “I believe that eternity is a living communion, a place where love and joy deepen forever. Jesus’ resurrection, to me, is a promise that there is always more-more of God to know, more love to experience. I think of eternity not as a place or even a time, but as an ever-unfolding journey into the infinite life of God.”
    Aurelius looked down, letting the words sink in. “I have always thought of the One as an ultimate unity, a return to simplicity and purity. But you speak of eternity as a kind of unfolding, an infinite exploration of the divine. In your vision, heaven is not a mere return but a further journey.”
    “Yes,” Sophia said softly. “We enter into the mystery of God and are invited to explore it forever. And perhaps even the smallest acts of love in this life prepare us for that journey. When we die, I believe we are welcomed into a life that no eye has seen, nor ear heard-where we are fully known and fully loved, and where every soul is cherished as a unique part of the divine tapestry.”
    Aurelius leaned back, his eyes wide. “If what you say is true, then there is no end to the adventure of knowing God, no end to love or life. Death is not the end but a new beginning, a doorway into a journey we cannot yet imagine.”
    Sophia nodded, her eyes shining with quiet joy. “Exactly, Aurelius. If Jesus is the Logos, then his resurrection shows us that life itself is eternal, always moving further into the heart of God. Even after death, I believe we will find ourselves invited deeper into the mystery, into a love that has no end.”
    The two sat in silence, gazing up at the stars. In that moment, the heavens seemed to pulse with a hidden life, a promise that the universe itself was filled with the same infinite love they spoke of-a love that would carry them, even beyond the boundary of death, into life unending.

      I agree that the One holds and cherishes the soul’s uniqueness after death. However, if eternity itself is full of movement and life, then what is the point of the resurrection and proposed new creation? I have always known intuitively that eternity is stillness. This is why we meditate to return to the Source. Movement/Change/Transformation is dependent on time and comes about through duality and external “things”, which are created and not eternal. I believe the Hebrew word for eternal can also be understood as everlasting or never-changing. If there is no change, then all is still. As for what that means for how eternal life/eternal torment is experienced, I have no idea. However, there seems to be a need for a resurrection both of life and of condemnation. This resurrection of condemnation might be a salvific process, or a merciful destruction. I don’t know.

    18:24 "we're talking about your identity...your relationships..." This seems to run counter to Matt 22:30 when a man specifically asks if relationships endure at the resurrection, Jesus replied, "At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven (who don't produce young)" Anyone have thoughts on this?

      I don't think it runs counter at all. In that verse, a sadducee who doesn't believe in resurrection is trying to "gotcha" Christ by bringing up a woman who had been married to 8 brothers in her life, and asks who would she be married to? Well Fr. Stephens thinking here lines up well with what Jesus says in that, she won't be 'given in marriage' to the first or to the last or by whatever arbitrary metric you might come up with, but instead with this idea of eternal return, that her resurrected life will be a preservation of all her relationships in the new heavens and earth. That's how I see it anyway 😅

    The concept of heaven as a specific realm for the soul has deep roots in Christian thought, shaped by both Scripture and longstanding theological traditions. While some argue that heaven is purely a metaphor or a state of mind, the idea of heaven as a true, designated place for the soul aligns with biblical teachings and provides a concrete hope of union with God after death. J 14:2-3, where Jesus says, “In my Father’s house are many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you,” suggest that heaven is not merely a state but a real "house" in God's presence. While physical bodies remain on Earth, awaiting resurrection, the soul is understood to immediately enter God’s presence, as indicated in Philippians 1:23, where Paul expresses his desire “to depart and be with Christ.” For Paul, to “depart” meant a distinct movement from this life to another state - a real communion with God in a place beyond this earthly realm.

    yes. eternal life includes the present life, but if it's just "be good, and life is good", it's nothing. It only matters if the physical matter of Jesus' flesh and bones were resurrected. If a man's eternal soul is just memories and influence, and he doesn't consciously experience an afterlife, Jesus is bunk, and materialist nihilism is true.

    I wanna just mention the desert fathers. Perhaps sacrifice and experiencing hell, that is your faults, voluntarily and as much as possible is what the proximal, or the profane, or matter, or earth, is made of when you’re in that rare space around you that is clear and peaceful. At that moment you look around as the spirit of the fathers inhabits you and you notice all the things around you are there because you sacrificed.

    Fr. De Young's idea that identity is rooted in relationship feels deeply correct to me... But I'm curious to hear his thoughts on Jesus's answer to the Sadducees' question about the many-times-married widow. When Jesus speaks of human relationships after the resurrection, he seems to say that earthly bonds are no longer relevant.

    In a quiet, ancient courtyard under a starry sky, two seekers met: Aurelius, a Neoplatonist philosopher with a mind set on tracing everything back to the ultimate One, and Sophia, a panentheist mystic whose devotion was rooted in the living presence of God within all creation. They had come to discuss a question that had lingered in both their minds: the mystery of Jesus as the Logos.
    Seated on opposite sides of a flickering candle, Aurelius began, “Sophia, you speak of Jesus as if he were in all things, as if the very earth and sky bear his presence. But the Logos, as I see it, is the perfect reflection of the One, an eternal principle descending from the Source. It’s a metaphysical bridge, not a person. I struggle to see how such an essence could become embodied as one particular man.”
    Sophia’s eyes softened. “I understand, Aurelius. But I believe the Logos is not merely a distant bridge to the divine. The Logos is God’s love flowing out, filling all things with presence. When I look at Jesus, I see God’s heart made tangible, a God who chooses to be among us, to walk with us-even to suffer with us. It is as if the One, which you see as transcendent, has made itself deeply personal.”
    Aurelius paused, reflecting. “So, to you, Jesus is more than a cosmic principle? You believe he entered into creation in such a way that the Logos itself experienced limitation, suffering?”
    Sophia nodded. “Yes, because I see God as love itself, reaching out to creation. Love cannot stay distant. I believe the incarnation of Jesus is the ultimate act of that love-God’s willingness to enter fully into the human experience. The Logos becomes flesh, not to remain detached, but to reveal that the divine presence fills every aspect of life. That’s why I say God is both beyond and within all things.”
    Aurelius leaned forward, intrigued. “But if God is present in every part of creation, then why the need for an incarnation at all? If the Logos already flows through all that exists, why would it need to become a man?”
    Sophia smiled gently. “Because sometimes we cannot see what is already with us. Sometimes, in our blindness and brokenness, we need a guide, a living example of the divine life we are called to live. Jesus reveals what it means to live as a true expression of the Logos. He doesn’t just point us upward-he meets us here, in the depths, and shows us that the path to the divine can be lived in compassion, humility, and love.”
    Aurelius fell silent, pondering. “Perhaps,” he murmured, “perhaps there is something to this notion of the divine descending… even into suffering. I have always viewed the ascent to the One as an escape from the limitations of the material, a journey away from suffering. Yet you suggest that the divine willingly embraced these things?”
    Sophia’s eyes glistened. “Yes. I believe that in Jesus, the Logos did not seek to escape but to transform. His life, his self-emptying-kenosis, as some call it-shows us that God is not indifferent to our pain. Instead, God enters into it, making even the darkest moments sacred. Through him, we see that the divine is found not just in our upward reach, but in our downward humility, our surrender.”
    Aurelius pondered this. “So, you’re saying that Jesus as the Logos doesn’t merely invite us to transcend the world but to redeem it from within?”
    “Yes,” Sophia replied, her voice low but firm. “Jesus, as the Logos, embodies the truth that God’s presence fills the heights and depths. The One you seek upward is already woven through the fabric of existence. And in the incarnation, that presence took a form we could touch, see, and know. He is the bridge-but not just from earth to heaven. He’s the bridge from God’s transcendence to God’s immanence, in every heartbeat and every atom.”
    Aurelius looked up at the stars, as if seeing them anew. “I have spent my life seeking ascent, the return to the One. But you speak of a descent-of the divine seeking us, reaching for us, right here in the world of flesh and form. This… changes things.”
    Sophia placed her hand over her heart. “Yes, Aurelius. And perhaps it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Jesus shows us both paths-the ascent and the descent. As we reach up, we find God reaching back, deeper into us, further into the world.”
    They sat in silence, gazing up together at the stars, each one shimmering with a new, hidden light. For the first time, Aurelius felt that his search for the One was somehow also a journey home-to a God both beyond and within, to a Logos that had become flesh to illuminate all things.

    Pretty interesting stuff to think about but also quite terrifying. To think of an eternal repetition for children born with horrible terminal diseases and unbelievably painful conditions. There are people who lose the ability to move and speak from a young age and spend their entire lives imprisoned in their bodies.
    It can be easy to talk about suffering as a cause of sin. But once you bring nature and things out of your control into it, it doesn’t fit into a neat box anymore.
