“I’ll tell you a secret, I’m a Christian. For me, the greatest achievement in the sense of Christian feat is hesychasm... Somehow in life everything should be different... I am attracted by the ideal of άπλωσις, simplification; Everything that is real, it seems to me, is so simple that it’s as if there is nothing. In the same sense I understand θέωσις, deification. A person becomes, as it were, God, only not in essence, which would be blasphemy, but by grace. In simplification, in deification, the elevation of faith above reason occurs. There is nothing rational left. And a person even stops thinking about God himself. After all, God, if you think about Him, is already a system of theology. And here there is complete indistinction.” Monk Andronik in the world, Professor Alexei Fedorovich Losev. Records of oral stories, private conversations and judgments of the greatest Russian philosopher, Professor Alexei Fedorovich Losev for 1965–1988. In the electronic publication, a slight transfer of the text (Introduction) was made and a division was added for years.
