if you openly don't do it

what would be the reaction of most people

but that practice is completely unfounded in church practice

they wouldn't care

thanks

I very quickly distanced myself from Serbian approach to Orthodoxy due to a huge influx of subversive ideas and personalities

Though at times, it is the only bullwark against reccurence of bolshevik ideas

All Churchiness is prone to attracting obscure people with no qualities who use it to get a platform to educate others

Also, among certain Orthodox believers are many adherents of this Eastern styled mysticism which I dislike

what do you mean Eastern styled

Montenegrins in general have a very peculiar approach towards religion

oh, it's not Montenegros

boo

They are at soul secular and completely untameable by strict religious discipline, especially monkish meekness

in Serbia, there are much more religious zealots

do you feel a connection to Serbia

Yes

Serbs have strong regional differences

Montenegrins by far stand out as being the most distinct, and by that I mean even those who declare as Serbs

Is an ethnically Serbian Montenegrin that doesn't speak Serbian a phenomenon?

a rarity? a nonentity?

No, such thing does not exist

by eastern mysticism I mean an influx of sentimental, passive ideas in their worldview, racially unconscious, anti-elitist

All of Christianty is such

But these ideas also propagate certain sense of anti-westernism which rejects both that which is obviously degenerate about west (liberalism, individualism, materialism)

and that which is superior (elitism)

suburban morality

Orthodoxy is in general, even with this eastern mysticism included, better than Catholicism, with it's rastafarian current form

But that only speaks about Catholicism

It doesn't say why should one find a method of spiritual realization within Orthodoxy, which are scarce, and only include devoting oneself to a life of a monk

what is spiritual realization

to you

realizing higher levels of consciousness, which stand as superior to that which is in the mental sphere purely transitory

skipping the inferior, compensatory modes of spiritual life and attempting to achieve something that is in accordance with a higher, permanent and rock solid truth

which is, needless to say, completely unrelated to any human existential anxieties

or forms conditioned solely upon human bodily perception

what kind of higher, permanent, rock solid truth are we talking about here

just to be clear

You ask more questions than you talk yourself

ask me something

People who want answers and don't have much to say themselves are rare
