Shepherds of the Wilderness - A Return to the Roya

A monologue of man walking thru a clear-cut forest seeking refuge  amidst the nature of our times.  Are we setting a course TOWARDS God or AWAY from God, our Good Shepherd? Join our growing community on Patreon Subscribe & Watch our creations on Youtube Write to us via EMAIL    More on the Apocalyptic Wilderness: The path ahead of us, despite the deceptive promises of modern "progress," is a path of suffering: "The Lord has clearly said that it is not 'progress' that awaits us, but ever greater tribulations and misfortunes as a result of the increase of lawlessness and the growing cold of love; when He comes, He will scarcely find faith on earth (St. Luke 18:8)." The strength of the true Christian in the terrible times ahead is the apocalyptic expectation of the Second Coming of Christ: "The spirit of a constant expectation of the Second Coming of Christ is the original Christian spirit, which cries out in prayer to the Lord: Even so, come, Lord Jesus (Apocalypse 22:20). And the spirit opposed to this is undoubtedly the spirit of Antichrist, which strives by every means to draw Christians away from the thought of the Second Coming of Christ and the recompense which follows on it. Those who give in to this spirit subject themselves to the danger of not recognizing Antichrist when he comes and of falling into his nets. Precisely this is the most frightful thing in the contemporary world, which is filled with every possible deception and temptation. The servants of Antichrist, as the Lord Himself has forewarned us, will try, 'if possible, the deceive the very elect' (St. Matthew 24:24). The thought of this, however, should not oppress or crush us, but on the contrary, as the Lord Himself says, Then look up, and lift up your heads, for your redemption draweth night (St. Luke 21:28)."  | Blessed Seraphim Rose

Finding joy in our times may be difficult, but what if we change  our perspective and reconsider what we are called to?!  What sort of mystery do we enter into in following the Royal Way?  Listen in and change your mourning into joy and ask to receive the heavenly Spirit while singing praise instead of spreading gossip.    Join our growing community on Patreon Subscribe & Watch our creations on Youtube Write to us via EMAIL     O Gladsome Light of the holy glory of the Immortal Father, heavenly, holy, blessed Jesus Christ. Now we have come to the setting of the sun and behold the light of evening. We praise God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. For it is right at all times to worship Thee with voices of praise, O Son of God and Giver of Life, therefore all the world glorifies Thee. Φῶς ἱλαρὸν ἁγίας δόξης, ἀθανάτου Πατρός, οὐρανίου, ἁγίου, μάκαρος, Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ, ἐλθόντες ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλίου δύσιν, ἰδόντες φῶς ἑσπερινόν, ὑμνοῦμεν Πατέρα, Υἱόν, καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα Θεόν. Ἄξιόν σε ἐν πᾶσι καιροῖς, ὑμνεῖσθαι φωναῖς αἰσίαις, Υἱὲ Θεοῦ, ζωὴν ὁ διδούς, Διὸ ὁ κόσμος σὲ δοξάζει.

We have grown accustomed to using technical terms such as "recharge" & "reboot" when describing our need to "unplug" from the internet and the virtual worlds we have created.  In such a time as this, how does an artist create in order to inspire more people to "reconnect" with THE REAL WORLD?   View our guest artist's work here: https://vimeo.com/user52672496 Join our growing community on Patreon Subscribe & Watch our creations on Youtube Write to us via EMAIL    

We share stories of us leaving "the tech" behind for the sake of a more simple life in Christ.  How does one live without the onslaught of the black mirror?  What will our transition into the next life be if we do not cultivate a spiritual home within ourselves?  We attempt to discuss these grave concerns.

In this segment, it is obvious we are bird watching from our perch up on the ridge overlooking what we call the "Huron Mountain Valley."  Fly away with us and retreat to a contemplative height that reaches for Paradise and gives the means to get there when we transition into the next life.   Join our growing community on Patreon Subscribe & Watch our creations on Youtube Write to us via EMAIL

While in \"exile\" of our true home, we must be watchful of our surroundings and safeguard our precious gifts that keep us spiritually alive!  In this segment, we begin to see the importance of setting ourselves apart to do further spiritual reading and to contemplate the works of God.\r\nSoundscapes by: \"Uncle GG\" & \"D.

Is this world consumed by possessions?  How do we parent as \"non-consumers\"?  Are we living as PROPHETS or are we only in this life to make a PROFIT?  Listen in as we unpack these questions amidst the springing forest that surrounds us.  \r\nSoundscapes by: \"Uncle GG\" & \"D.

Why is it important to read the writings & lives of past saints and prophets?  Why should we revisit the Sacred Scripture each day on our spiritual journey?  Spiritual Reading is but another form of discipline that will enable our body and spirit to be receptive to God's guidance through the words of others who have been healed.   New Soundscapes by: "Uncle GG" & "D. Pitts" Join our growing community on Patreon Subscribe & Watch our our creations on Youtube Write to us via EMAIL

In the New Testament, the word translated as 'repentance' is the Greek word μετάνοια (metanoia), "after/behind one's mind," which is a compound word of the preposition 'meta' (after, with), and the verb 'noeo' (to perceive, to think, the result of perceiving or observing). In this compound word the preposition combines the two meanings of time and change, which may be denoted by 'after' and 'different'; so that the whole compound means: 'to think differently after'. Metanoia is therefore primarily an after-thought, different from the former thought; a change of mind accompanied by regret and change of conduct, "change of mind and heart", or, "change of consciousness". One of the key descriptions of repentance in the New Testament is the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11.

Metanoia aka changing our mind and heart, is done through prayer and compunction.  We discuss the next forms of bodily discipline and the degrees of prayer followed by a call to repentance.  Listen in to the fatherly voice of Papa Yanni, the celestial tunes of Uncle GG, and the calming prayer of devout monks.
