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!
