Bless Fr. John for handing me The Monk of Mount Athos concerning Saint Silouan's life on Mount Athos. Teachings on Freedom (p 65) "He used few words in his prayer to the omniscient God and did not amplify his thought. 'Men seek their own freedom,' that is to say, freedom outside God, ouside true life, in 'outer darkness', where there is and can be no freedom, for freedom can only exist where ther is no death, where there is authentic eternal existence - that is, in God"
