Inner Attention
Returning to the center
This exploration is coming soon. It will cover inner attention as the basic movement underlying all hesychast practice, drawing especially on Symeon the New Theologian.
The exploration will examine Symeon's remarkable insistence that genuine experience of God is available to every Christian, not merely to elite monastics — and what this means for how inner attention is cultivated and understood. It will address the relationship between attention and intention, and why the tradition consistently returns to the image of gathering scattered light into a single focused beam.
