Father Paisios destroyed a rock in front of the guru
I had been to Stavronikita
and I had gone with Paul the Gontikakis, the brother Vassilis
And some other friends anyway.
And we're both the prodigals
Me and George Dialinas.
George Dialinas had also been through Sy Baba.
Well...
Sai Baba helped him and he made a lot of money,
Many properties in New Delhi and various.
From a certain point onwards the elders in Stavronikita
they encouraged us to go and see some ascetics
because today I realize how tired we were of them
And
what nonsense we were talking about.
Today I don't even mention them,
well, and among other things
We also went to the Elder Paisios.
They gave us a monk
because who would we get it from?
Not because we would lose the trails but because we are elsewhere
in every respect
and the cunning one knows how to do his job well
we have to admit it.
We got there with the little bell
and George began to say
The Diaphragm
and you know, Sai Baba like this, so-and-so like this, Krishna like this.
Salmuti likes these, things...
and provoking him.
She tells him
What are you doing here?
For being lazy, for being like this, for being like this while we
do this, we do this and we do this to the world and
that's where we have to be and that's where we have to fight...a lot.
All that stuff we used to say was candy.
and he says here, Cy Bubba goes like this and he puts down a Rolex
and makes one so, he heals a man.
We can move mountains
can you take this stone?
A lot... and ended up with a stone
a 4-5 cubic rock, something like that.
The old man
Paisios annoyed
why
he couldn't, he couldn't, I wasn't talking,
even though he'd been told that you know, and he knows, anyway...
He couldn't make us well because we
we had the demons.
And George in particular had gone off the rails.
Well
and the old man went into the hole, if I may say so,
just to wake us up
to help us,
there is no other reason.
And then George tensed up
to say a mantram, a secret wish
and some other things
and that I'm going to smash the stone!
The rock.
Of course despite the very great efforts of
he couldn't do anything.
Then
"that you may see who Christ is, that you may see..."
for purely educational reasons
the old man Paisios
crossed the stone, the rock three times
"In the name of the holy and holy and undivided
and the Holy Trinity"
and the third time "Bam!"
like we had some dynamite in there,
the rock has crumbled!
And for the sake of proving what I'm saying
the monastery after we came down,
alarmed, the monk ran, told the Elder,
the Elder came down, and the others came down
"What's up guys, come here Johnny, what's up"!
I say, here, this!
I was confused in the sense that
yes, I'm on the right track now
but
all the preceding have been subjected
one automatic, one instantaneous reversal
and that's what I wanted to deal with, to digest.
Many discussions followed in the monastery,
on the terrace and inside and here and there
was moved on this night, the evening as the night
in the cell
and the Elder came and we were discussing and others, and others....
and laymen who had gone upstairs
and then
a monk, a monk
discovered, retrieved
some demons that George had inside him.
And when I said, I know
with his hands the brigadier general saved me
and so in the morning in Agia Paraskevi
I took the Holy Myrrh.
And what I am telling you is published in the Orthodox Press
and the Synod and and and and and and and... And even a cantor
in this temple where I got the holy myrrh
was Father Charalambos who is on Kifissias,
at the Youth Center.
And I say "I know" and I testified
my testimony that indeed the demons we have
are too many and these demons are powerful
and I analyzed why.
So then
George changed his voice and the demon spoke,
long discussion, many, many hours.
And the midnight hour arrived,
to go down to midnight.
The jerk was beating
and we came down.
At some point I abandoned them
and the fathers and George and the others there,
the folk we had gone to
because I needed to rest,
I needed it very much that it was time for Midnight
and I ran and sat down in a pew over there on the left.
I hear shouting, noise
and it's in Pronao
the Fathers with George.
I'm gonna go see what's going on because they're screaming...
and then they would pull two people from one side
and two others on the other side and back monks
they were pushing George to touch and worship
the icon of the Virgin Mary in Pronaos.
It was about 50 centimeters away from the Virgin Mary
and there was no power
to push him to touch the Virgin Mary!
And that's where the big issues started.
I repeat that some hours
after St. Paisios this.
The demons were on fire by now
and had rebelled.
The Elder the Abbot went there,
tried, others tried...
and some other ascetics who had come down...
...nothing!
In the morning
we dawned out on the bench
And the Elder says, from what we were told by a monk, Father Anthony,
He says we're going to have a procession
We will take all the holy relics and holy water out.
I liked that because I had never seen it before,
and all the holy relics of the monastery!
So with the Lavaras we went out
and read and read wishes for me and George.
At some point in the sprinkling with the holy water, a drop fell
on the head of George of Diaghina.
Then he started screaming, screaming, not in his voice,
she stripped completely, even the underwear,
barefoot and started running off into the woods
and yelling "I'm burning! and many many many many many many many many.
Then I collapsed.
We were all upset
and we said, "Let's go."
And I wanted to leave because it had torn me apart,
I was tired of this whole thing.
because you understand that we had to fight
with many things from our past.
We made it to Athens
George, we were holding him
and on the road and in the car, a car that took us down...
Dawn
from an apartment building in Exarchia fell head first,
she exploded and committed suicide.
The "Eleftherotypia" of that time
reports the incident on Mount Athos
and that he killed himself.
I have been a witness to this from the very first moment.
Of course, then I didn't want to go to the cemetery, you know.
One of the many with Elder Paisios,
who old man Paisios,
he helped me because
because I had caught up and I had taken a few steps
with the blessing of the elder Porphyry
and I had succeeded and I had gotten the Anointing!
That was the crucial thing, so you understand
if I hadn't... they wouldn't have taken me
Father Antonios the late Father Anthony the late Alevisopoulos
with Father Kyriak and his team the "Synod"
in Gerontas, in Kallisia above, in Penteli
and if it was delayed
with the momentum, the acquired speed that I had
I don't know if we were talking today.
I got away with it.
by the teeth of the Grim Reaper, right?
Others who were in my position could not!
Why I could, it wasn't a matter of my intelligence,
it was because I had the prayers of the elders
I had the assurance from the elder Porphyry
that "Don't worry, you're the one who's gonna say the wish
and what time it is I'll be making a rosary, my child."
And so
was presented by the Taxiarch himself
And he cast out demons with his sword.
I can't express myself, I can't say I a poor...
the poor word thank you.
All I can say is
From the depths of my heart
"Thank God!" Nothing else!
