And in the end, be thankful

This is a very common statement but I want to show how important is to be thankful for everything that happens in your life. Sir Isaac Newton said that we can see more, just because we stand on the shoulders of giants. And I suppose this is the main secret of his achievements. The student who does not understand that what he knows is the result of the work of many generations of people including especially his own parents and his teachers and his friends and even his enemies will never be able to do something important in his life and he would never surpass his teachers. And at the final point we are all standing on the shoulders of God. That is why we must always remember about him. I remember a couple of weeks ago Julia Igorevna gave me advice about attending lectures about icons. And she said it was my biggest mistake of not attending these lectures. I remember what I thought then: ”What are you talking about?! This error is not even in the top ten!” but I kept silence. At the end of my speech, if you let me, I also give to all of us a very good advice: remember about the existence of God 24-7. I hope that my speech fortified your faith a little bit. I believe that it is the shortest and the easiest way to Him. It's so simple and yet so hard to do. Do you remember that Apostle John the Divine was the only apostle who died a natural death without pain? I don’t know how about you but I personally don’t like pain and suffering. This didn’t happen with him by chance. That happened because he loved God more than other Apostles and I imagine that he remembered about Him always.

If we learn to remember God always, we will be able to repeat the easiest way of St. John.

Kaleidoscope

I didn’t mention in my speech many other sciences such as chemistry and biophysics etc., but I'm sure that if you look at any science or philosophical system at the correct theological widest angle, you see everywhere particles of divine wisdom, and if you add up these particles as a puzzle, then you get a good holistic picture of the world. Maybe what you see is very similar to what our world looked like before there was the original sin.

Thank you for attention!
