We are pure consciousness, which is, I am, in its virgin state---no attachments, and pure, beyond purity. However, because we forget our true nature and believe to be who we are not, we create all the problems that exist in our lives. We choose, and attach to situations, people and things that don’t reflect on our pure nature. We bind ourselves to things, conditions and situations that create havoc and pain in our lives. We even conclude that we are the things we have, have learned, relate to, or believe in. So, we live life in dazes, running around like puppets, when in the actual sense ...

While much of church planting today is approached as an innovative new effort, church leaders can take comfort in the truth that they are simply stewards of what the faithful church has been doing for millennia.

It is precisely where we hurt most that the experience of the Orthodox Church has much to offer. The remedy is not a pep talk, or any simple admonitions to fight the good fight, cheer up, or think positively. Rather, the Orthodox method is to change the way we look at the human person (starting with ourselves). According to two thousand years of experience, Orthodoxy shows us how to "be transformed by the renewing of our mind" - a process that is aided by participation in the traditional ascetic practices and Mysteries of the Church.

We explore the Cathars' society, beliefs, rituals, and interactions with outsiders, as well as their persecution and eventual extermination by the Catholic authorities.

Here, in this audiobook, we discover the life of Saint Peter from beginning to end.
