“Comencemos por rechazar la errada suposición de que el liberalismo es una ideología. Una ideología es siempre una concepción del acontecer humano (...) que parte del rígido criterio de que el idéologo conoce de dónde viene la humanidad, por qué se desplaza en esa dirección y hacia dónde debe ir. De ahí que toda ideología, por definición, sea un tratado de 'ingeniería social', y cada ideólogo sea, a su vez, un 'ingeniero social'. Alguien dedicado a la siempre peligrosa tarea de crear 'hombres nuevos', no contaminados por las huellas del antiguo régimen. Sólo que esa actitud, lamentablemente, suele dar lugar a grandes catástrofes, y en ella está, como señaló Popper, el origen del totalitarismo.”

“Comencé intentando individuar la posición del corazón, según la enseñanza de Simeón el Nuevo Teólogo. Cerré los ojos, concentrando todas las fuerzas de imaginación en el corazón. Este ejercicio me duraba media hora, y lo repetía varias veces. Al principio sólo sentía una impresión de oscuridad; pero no tardó en aparecer mi corazón y sentir sus movimientos profundos. Luego traté de sincronizarlos con la oración a Jesús, como lo enseñan los santos Padres Gregorio el Sinaíta, Calixto e Ignacio. Aspirando el aire, dirigía la mirada hacia el corazón y decía: Señor Jesucristo. Y luego, expirando continuaba: ten misericordia de mí. Lo fui repitiendo, primero durante una hora, después durante dos, y posteriormente, gracias al ejercicio continuo, casi todo el día. Cuando se me hacía difícil, o sentía pereza o fatiga, abría de nuevo la Filocalía, y leía en seguida los puntos que trataban de la oración interior, y de nuevo sentía ganas de practicarla.”

("The world was somewhere else")”

“Cometh The Day by Stewart Stafford
All his life, he'd just been a pawn
And each day, another false dawn
Then the vagaries of the state
Became his to dictate
And his enemies never looked so forlorn.
