We are living in an era of great change. This is already obvious. But this means that the decisions we make now will determine not only our lives and the lives of our children, but the lives of many generations for hundreds of years. Responsible time. Time to find answers to questions of the highest level. And some answers are already emerging. Bad answers.
More recently, we learned that Bill Gates is going to fund the development of vaccines, with the help of which he is going to achieve a decrease in the number of humanity. How he explains the logic behind the vaccines is not so important. The answer itself is important: there is a force within the human community that is interested in the reduction of humanity. And she has the means to achieve this. The declared goal is to reduce the thermal impact of humanity on the planet. And what is it really?
We know that genetically modified corn, which produces antibodies against human sperm in its seeds, has already been created.
We know one more answer. This is Mikhail Khodorkovsky's answer. Say, with the help of genetic engineering in the near future, a new human "homo intivitus" will be created, which will treat homo sapiens the way homo sapiens treats animals. In essence, we are talking about a higher race, genetically separated from Homo sapiens and pushing them around.
We know that in early March 2010, an ultimatum to humanity sounded from the lips of an Israeli military historian. If there is a threat to the existence of the State of Israel, then it, as announced by radio, has the means to destroy all of humanity.
We humans should be aware that these answers already exist. They are the fate of our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. And we must be aware that we have not worked out alternatives to these answers. And we don't even think about her. Until the thunder breaks out, does the man cross himself? - Is not it?
And he already thunders. War has been declared on the people. - We must call a spade a spade.
But war has been declared not only to people, war has been declared to God, in the image and likeness of which man was created. The one who encroaches on the creation of another person, he encroaches on the place of God. It's a challenge. Devilish challenge.

And humanity has nothing to say. Even the Church, which should have sounded the alarm, is silent. This is an unusual silence. This is the silence of confusion. Over the past centuries, the Church has lost much of what it was obliged to keep as the apple of its eye.
Today there is an urgent need to find this lost. The search for this lost is a common cause, and not only of the Church, whether it likes it or not. The fire games have gone too far. We must oppose something to the devil's challenge. And if the Church has lost its legal capacity in the fight against the devilry, then her problems should be borne by those who feel the strength and ability to approach them. Who could it be? Do we see among the generally recognized systemic forces those that could take on such a burden? Official science? Where is at least one answer to the most powerful questions of the era? Political elites? They are busy either with vanity, or, at best, work according to models and templates that have outlived their days (in many respects, and led to current problems). Opposition movements? No one has a real understanding of the required direction of movement. Actually, if someone could say about himself “there is such a party” (in a broad sense), he would have said it already. Therefore, the answer is unequivocal: there are no systemic and visible forces in society that correspond to the challenges of the era.
And in these conditions of a systemic crisis, quite unexpectedly, the gigantic potential of a complex science called New Chronology was revealed. She turned out to be methodically and morally ready to get to the bottom of the lost truths, not stopping before the fortifications of a recognized chronology and the pressure of authorities. And she has already accumulated a sufficient number of conceptual findings and ideas to have the right to assert: what is lost can be returned.
And this is now very necessary. Including the Church itself, even if its leaders are not aware of this need.
Hesychasm
We have already found one very important one. This is the teaching of Sergius of Radonezh. At least one essential part of this teaching is the so-called. active hesychasm, which is forgotten by the Church today.
Among monks and simply deeply believers, hesychasm is known. But not Sergiev, but another - Gregory Palamas - a leader of the Greek Orthodox Church of the 14th century. People know only this hesychasm - the so-called practice of the so-called psychophysical yoga techniques. smart prayer - silent inner communion with God. For what? - For the sake of individual salvation. Another understanding of hesychasm is practically not found among believers and churchgoers.
Little should be said about the hesychasm of Gregory Palamas. Deep mental immersion in a conversation with God can have a serious effect. He can enlighten someone with the mind, someone can purify the soul. And someone can be hurt by the mind. There is such a thing. But there is an effect in any case. Gregory Palamas called this direct cognition of God. At the same time, someone reaches Him, joins in cooperation with Him - in synergy, achieves GOD - he himself becomes a little god. It acquires, as it were, inner vision - the “third eye”, which allows one to better see the world, understand complex processes, and feel the right path. The Church cannot renounce the hesychasm of Gregory Palamas. He was canonized as an Orthodox saint, his works went down in the history of the Church.
But if you look a little bit, then the hesychasm of Gregory Palamas comes into conflict with the well-known work "On the Predestination of the Saints" by one of the fathers of the Christian Church, Aurelius Augustine, who lived in the 4th century.
Augustine denies man the ability to recognize good and evil. He, they say, can perform acts that are considered good or evil, but everything is in the hands of God, whose providence is incomprehensible. Good deeds can turn out to be evil, on the contrary, evil deeds can ultimately serve good purposes. A person cannot voluntarily, at the expense of his righteous deeds, gain the holy spirit, only God can choose who to send it to.
And hesychasm is precisely the acquisition of the holy spirit at the will of man. From the point of view of the canonical text of Augustine, Palamas' teaching on hesychasm is heresy. But neither Palamas himself nor the Theosophists of the Church of Constantinople knows this. In the history of his discussions about hesychasm with opponents from Rome, Augustine is not mentioned. On the contrary, the opponent is confident in his own ability to know God through the study of sacred texts. Neither in the 14th nor in the first half of the 15th century does anyone think of a deep contradiction between Augustine and Palamas. That it is necessary either to deny one and recognize the other, or to resolve the contradiction itself. Therefore … - therefore, at this time they simply did not know who Augustine was and what he wrote. Augustine, who supposedly lived and worked in the 4th century, appeared at best in the second half of the 15th century.
This is by the way about the historical and chronological confusion that contributes to the confusion of the Church. She is forced to recognize as a common Christian saint the same Aurelius Augustine, whose teaching denies the clearly workable practice of Orthodox hesychasm, Orthodox synergy - cooperation with God. And all because Augustine allegedly lived in the 4th century, when the Orthodox and Catholic Churches had not yet divided.
As a result, the text of Augustine is canonical for the Russian Orthodox Church, and hesychasm is on the outskirts of church practice. The most important tool developed by Orthodoxy for the physical and spiritual strengthening of a person in his opposition to evil, in the recognition of good and truth, has been practically lost by the church.
This discovery alone emphasizes the uniqueness of the place of the New Chronology in the modern world. Only people who have recognized the malicious chronological distortion of history are able to resolve contradictions, which are not borne by someone, but the Church itself. And it rests exactly at the moment when she needs to be fully armed.
But since we have already touched Augustine, then our church should be at odds with him for another reason. According to traditional chronology, in the middle of the 13th century, many monastic orders of the Catholic Church switched from the former monastic statutes to the new … the statute of St. Augustine. They crossed at the same time, as if by order (most likely by order). Around the same time, a number of orders were disbanded. Apparently, as those who refused such a transition.
What is the novelty of the statute of St. Augustine? - It is best shown in comparison with the charter of St. Benedict for the so-called. kinovy - dormitory monasteries. According to the charter of St. Benedict, when they enter a monastery, monks are left without property, they live together, they work together, pray together, and eat together. What did the statute of St. Augustine? And he allowed monks from wealthy families to have property that is familiar to them, i.e. luxurious, and have a separate, richer table, and even pray separately in your cell. No obligation to work. This is the introduction of property and social stratification into monasteries. In the name of love for one's neighbor … - For Russian monasticism, this is unacceptable to this day. Monastic asceticism and the obligation to work are the tenets of Russian monasticism. And what Augustine did- this is an ideological sabotage against the monasticism, which before the introduction of its charter lived in a hostel and ascetic manner.
Actually, the introduction of this charter predetermined the loss of the authority of monasticism, the transformation of convents in Western Europe into houses of tolerance, which was the reason for the destruction of the institution of monasticism in countries that underwent the Reformation (with the real purpose of appropriating the richest monastic economy by the feudal and other new elite). But the Reformation is the 20-30s of the 16th century. It does not take centuries to turn the property and social stratification of monasticism into a phenomenon that challenges public opinion. If in reality Augustine lived and worked in the second half of the 15th century, then there is quite enough time for the transformation of well-born monks into snickering pigs who have lost even the raid of decency, and noble nuns into whores. Our chronological find fully explains the logic of the era.
The active hesychasm of Sergius of Radonezh
The development of the idea of deification of a person who sincerely and passionately aspires to God - was the active hesychasm of Sergius of Radonezh. A person can elevate himself above himself not only a process, such as smart prayer, purely aimed at cognizing God, but in general any activity that is good. The activities of a politician who brings good and righteous life to the people, the activities of a warrior who protects this life arrangement, the activities of an architect who decorates life and the earth with an architectural masterpiece, peasant farming on the earth … Any worldly activity aimed at doing good, in the name of which he constantly overcomes himself: his laziness or weakness, their ignorance or pride, hunger or fear of death.
The most important kind, holy deed Sergius denotes the defense of the Russian faith, i.e. protection of Russia.
This is a completely "official" interpretation. But even this interpretation given by science is somewhere on the tenth plane. Monks and deeply religious people usually do not know anything about him. This interpretation is far beyond their understanding of the relationship between man and God. For them, God is a strict judge who will sort out their sins after death. For them, God is something almighty and omnipotent, before which the human mind can only bow down. But cooperation with God in good deeds - ??? And why the defense of Russia and the Russian faith? - Aren't all nations equal before God? Those. here we even see the loss of the very understanding of God as a father, and not as a punishing master, whose will is unknown and unknowable. But this is the Jewish understanding of God … This is where today's Orthodoxy is slipping.
Now I pay attention. The active hesychasm of Sergius of Radonezh suggests that a person is able to find a path to truth and goodness. If the hesychasm of Gregory Palamas is the essence of psychophysical practice, when a person simply opens up to something unknown, superhuman, and it takes him into its arms, then the active hesychasm of Sergius is through and through human. Man actively cognizes the world. He learns what is good in this activity and what is bad. Not good for him, but good in principle. Those. what pleases God. That which God approves.
For the hesychasm of Gregory Palamas, a solution can still be found in the dispute with the predestination of the saints: many knock on God, but not all are given the opportunity to reach out. God himself chooses whom to give and who not to give deification.
But with the hesychasm of Sergius, it will no longer work. He generally admits universal, nationwide holiness. When everyone gains an understanding of what is good at the present time, and they work in the name of it. Consciously. In a sober mind and good health. Each in his place - and, as it were, all together. Rejecting and pursuing moral deformity, overcoming fear, deprivation, and own weaknesses. There are such times and such peoples. These are, for example, the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War.
E. Kazakevich, the author of the famous story "Zvezda", begins it by arguing that the advancing Red Army, which was entering the forests, consisted of the best. Not because the worst died, but because the living became the best. They have grown over themselves. They have risen, transformed into the best.
The active hesychasm of Sergius of Radonezh is a direct rejection of the Augustinian concept of a person's inability to recognize good and evil. Capable. Even in such a cruel case as war. In K. Simonov's novel “Soldiers are not born”, General Serpilin reflects: “To protect people in a war is simply not to expose them to senseless danger, without hesitation throwing them towards the necessary danger. And the measure of this necessity - real if you are right, and imaginary if you are wrong - is on your shoulders and on your conscience."
Good and evil are recognized by a person who has knowledge corresponding to his place in life and society, who is able to trust his every step with knowledge and conscience. Without stopping, to the end honestly before himself and before God, going through the path of analyzing each of his decisions, each of his actions, and sometimes even each word, he still recognizes the good. And this tireless mental labor, which accompanies material life practice, ultimately does to a person the same as clever prayer. He acquires an inner spiritual vision, the ability to catch minimal clues, to discern hidden evil in people or, on the contrary, an undiscovered good soul, to distinguish between intentional lies and conscientious delusion, misunderstanding. To understand the boundaries of their knowledge, strengths and abilities - and the resulting place among people and nature.
Finding holiness is not a one-time act, it is a process. A person who has good thoughts, controls their moral purity, analyzes his knowledge and verifies his conclusions with practice, logic and conscience, grows above himself with every problem solved, with every new moral conclusion. It grows by its capabilities. For example, he gains understanding, trust, authority of an ever wider circle of people, changes the world not only with his own mind and hands, but with the hands and minds of these people. In economic practice - through the management of an increasing number of material forces and laws that obey his soul, reason and good will adequate to these forces.
This completely materialistic interpretation of the concept of active hesychasm does not raise serious doubts. But this concept was discarded by the Church. If we go over to the language of religious ideas, then the plan of God is in every stone, in every plant, in every living creature, in every law of development of nature and society. Knowing them through science, through labor activity, through social and military practice, we comprehend God in exactly the same way. If there is no evil intent and mental laziness behind our practice, then we, just like a monk practicing clever prayer, join God and strengthen ourselves in him.
The Church's refusal to recognize active hesychasm is her self-removal from participation in the control and regulation of the righteousness and virtue of human material practice. After all, a person sins not only against other people. By causing irreparable damage to the living and plant world by his wrong material practice, bringing harm to future generations, he also sins against God. This is what the “forgetfulness” of the Church means.
Another important feature of the concept of active hesychasm by Sergius of Radonezh is that it endowed any work with spirituality. A person seeking to do good cannot have a slave psychology, cannot look at his work as only a source of livelihood. Labor is the very place of a person in the world. Accordingly, a person who devotes himself to serving good, teaches and educates both those around him and his children, and teaches by himself, by his life. Makes others mentors too. And therefore he connects the broadest circles of society to mentoring. A person imbued with the worldview of active hesychasm, i.e. the priority of finding a way to do everything kindly in everything - cooperates with the forest, with the cornfield, with a horse, with a dog, with near and far.
Active hesychasm reveals the very essence of Christian love: a person is interesting to a person from the point of view of doing good and preventing evil. And thus, it acts as a powerful cement, connecting not only people, but also animals and nature.
And he also acts as the most powerful means of cognition and transformation of the world, organizing society from top to bottom. Not in the form of a democratic herd, in which quantity is more valuable than quality, and not in a rigid pyramid of power based on formal signs of birth, rank, education, personal loyalty to a superior … This society is structured according to the principle of trust, competence and responsibility. It is clear that all people are different. Some have a more lively mind, others have more factual knowledge - simply because of the person's current position, his awareness - one is inclined to flight of thought, another to craft, and the third cannot live without discovering new places, new opportunities, without constant movement. And the general disposition to do good, trust in this general atmosphere - disciplines, makes you obey the more competent,wiser, more experienced. Obey - and learn. Voluntarily and consciously.
In this sense, active hesychasm is the greatest find that singled out Russia: in the Western tradition, the emphasis is on blind submission. In the monasteries described by John Cassian the Roman, the new monks were accustomed to it. One of the parables about monastic life says that a young monk was forced to water a dry rod inserted into the ground, which obviously could never turn green. And exactly the same parable was in India - about a monk and a brahmana.
An active hesychasm, selfless devotion in serving God through doing good at any place, in any kind of activity, is a powerful generator of personalities - talents, geniuses, heroes who take on the leadership of huge masses of people and the most difficult tasks. Not for their own sake, not for pride or income, but for the good.
The paradox of the current situation is that the Church is not able to use this potential. She has no criterion of goodness. God, whose ways are inscrutable, does not give a person room for his own choice. With your own mind, with your own strength. And he judges, as it is now said, individually. For personal sins. And cooperation with him of his own will does not exist for the Church.
Forgotten worldview
Sergius of Radonezh, with his concept of active hesychasm, pointed out yet another inaccuracy in the modern interpretation of the history of the Church. The formula for active hesychasm was the idea that the body itself has no sin. And through it, a person can perform godly good deeds.
The formula is extremely important. There is no reason in Christianity to consider the body a sinner. Absolutely no. But such a foundation exists in Manichaeism. It is in Manichaeism that spirit comes from God, from good, from light, and matter, including the bodily shell of a person, from Satan, from evil, from darkness. It is in Manichaeism that a formula has been developed according to which evil and good are indestructible, they are constantly present in the world. But a person by his own will can do things that change the balance of good and evil in one direction or another. In particular, restraining the body by hunger, torture, rough bedding and rough clothing is a means of diminishing evil. Giving up carnal needs like attraction to the opposite sex serves the same thing. But the pursuit of knowledge, the study of nature, is the strengthening of good.
Sergius of Radonezh, with his concept of active hesychasm, overcame the impasse of Manichaeism. He retained the cognizability of the world, inherited from the Manichean worldview, and therefore of God, and with it the possibility of consciously doing good.
But Augustine, with his work On the Predestination of the Saints, also overcame Manichaeism. Only otherwise. He forbade the Christian to evaluate his efforts by the criteria of good and evil, he directly called man an animal, but only endowed with reason. In fact, the weakness of the mind, illiteracy, mental and mental immaturity and laziness, not allowing to foresee the results of their actions - he elevated to the rank of the absolute. They say that these are not human shortcomings, but just a manifestation of the incomprehensibility of the ways of the Lord. And if it so happened that all your plans are being implemented, then do not be proud. It was God who chose you and sent down His grace on you. It is he who helps you in earthly affairs.
Of course, a person who has accepted his state of being an animal endowed with reason, but limited by God in his ability to foresee the results of his activities, turns out to be ideally controlled by those who do not think so about themselves. Well, who has successfully rebelled - welcome to the club of the elite. Conscience is not required for this. On the contrary.
This is what the Russian Orthodox Church brought to Russia in return for the brilliant decision of St. Sergius. And now she wonders why morality and ethics are much worse in the Orthodox Russian Federation than in the USSR. Because the USSR lived according to Sergius! The Soviet government opened access to a full-fledged education for a person and opened up a lot of opportunities for strategic searches and strategic thinking along the entire front of sciences and economic decisions. And she made the person feel how he was growing above himself along with the whole country. Before the banner over the Reichstag, before atomic energy and Space - during the lifetime of only one generation.
The West and Russia overcame the impasse of Manichaeism, but at the same time they lost their clarity in the understanding of good and evil when solving issues of material practice.
In humanitarian matters, Russia has retained the basic Christian principle of relations between people: all people are equal before God, and therefore nationalism and racism were excluded. The sanctity of truth has been preserved, the sanctity of chastity has been preserved in the relationship between a man and a woman. Many other things have survived, inherited from Manichaeism. The defense of Russia became a strategic earthly task. As a special shrine of the Russian people. But the conscious strategic meaning of peaceful economic and intellectual activity has not been developed.
The West quickly lost many of the humanitarian values of the previous period, they were replaced by an assessment of success, and therefore being chosen by God, using a monetary standard. Subsequently, success began to be transferred to relations between races, then to nationality. In the 20th century, this gave rise to Nazism. The idea of humanism has removed the taboo from any human whims. The search for success stimulated some, the freedom of whims stimulated others, the awareness of oneself as just an animal with a mind that needs to survive - forced others to work slavishly.
Finally, the strategic idea of dominating a world in which all other peoples, being animals with intelligence, will slavishly feed and satisfy the “needs of the chosen people” - stimulated the tireless work of the “chosen people” to assert themselves at the tops of the financial system, humanitarian, scientific and legal peaks. Today the same goals are formulated openly. Russia several times after Sergius of Radonezh stood up as an obstacle to this strategic goal of the "chosen people". But each time it required great personalities. And Russia itself was on the verge of death. So it was in the Troubles, so it was on the eve of the reign of Peter, so it was in the civil war. And during all this time, she never found the strategic meaning of economic and intellectual development. Each time, spiritual and economic mobilization was demanded as an incentive - war - and the threat of losing a shrine called Russia.
The role of peasant farming
Nevertheless, Sergius of Radonezh outlined this strategic meaning. This is peasant farming. He himself regarded peasant labor on earth as an important part of serving God and good. And the main distinguishing feature of the monasteries set up by his students and the students of his students was their management. Moreover, bread had no market value in those years. But later it is possible to observe the institution of "monastic cubs" in the monasteries. Orphans and bobs, who could not create and lead a full-fledged independent peasant existence, were attached to monasteries. And after a while they got the opportunity to turn into independent peasants. The monasteries grew and reproduced the peasant class.
There are still interesting moments in the life of Sergius. During the period when the monastery is hungry, he does not refuse to treat the bear, so as not to deceive this bear.
The sign that appeared to Sergius and his disciples looked like a large number of unusual beautiful birds that flocked to the monastery. In one of the interpretations of this sign, it is believed that the birds themselves will be Sergius monks.
And, finally, one of the students of Radonezh is found in the northern forests of the Volga in the company of a bear and other animals feeding birds.
It seems that now we have managed to reveal the highest meaning of these prompts. In 2009, in Poland, as a result of heavy rains, all fish in the Western Bug and Vistula died. It turned out - poisoning with toxins of rotting wood.
This fact perfectly correlates with the lifelessness, death of stagnant forests. But on the contrary, young forests are immediately filled with a rich and varied animal and plant life.
And it turned out that as early as the 18th century, peasants practiced shift farming. The old forest was cut, burned into ash, which fertilized and deoxidized the soil. During several harvests, cereals used the elements accumulated by trees, which were transferred to the soil as a result of fungal rot. Thus, the cereals themselves grew beautifully, and effectively cleared the land from tree fungi that poison everything around. After several years of subsequent use of the site for haymaking, it was again sown with forest. Thus, renewing life.
It should be noted that without a man, without his ax and fire, the forest could rot and be lifeless for many centuries. And at the same time, lakes and rivers were rotting and left without fish.
In fact, we discovered in history precisely the Russian, which differed from the Western European, method of farming, which in fact was the cultivation of life in forest deserts. The man working on the earth acted as the king and patron of all forms of life, which could not reproduce well without him. In particular, the same fungi that accumulated the mass of sulfur, phosphorus and nitrogen accumulated by trees over a century, without which the construction of protein is impossible, - after dying off, gave these elements to rainwater, which eventually carried them to the ocean. The soil was poor. But in a person who retained elements in various forms of living biological forms, the soil from cycle to cycle only enriched.
Monasticism, which patronized the expansion of peasant cultivation of land in the forest zone, persistently increased the mass of life on the territory of Russia, and reproduced man as the king of nature, the creator of life. It reproduced a person who, precisely through peasant farming, manifested himself as an image and likeness of the Creator. He was the hands of the Creator.
And everything corresponds to the clues recorded in the lives of Sergius and his disciples.
But the place and role of man is not limited to environmental work. They are wider and larger. Only man, as a being endowed with reason, is able to constantly develop his skills and expand his knowledge to go first to the planetary and then the cosmic level of interaction with nature. And accordingly, only he can take on the role of the protector of all life on Earth. There have been several global catastrophes in the history of our planet, as well as several periods of almost complete extinction of all living things. And most likely the second directly followed from the first. The most obvious and at the same time the most dangerous event of this kind can be the fall of a large asteroid. Science knows several traces of such falls. For example, craters Vredefort in South Africa, Chicxulub near the Yucatan Peninsula, and Manicouagan in Quebec have diameters from 100 to 250 km!You can imagine how it was. Simultaneous or sequential impact on the biosphere of the strongest shock wave, no less strong tsunami (the wave height of which, according to some estimates, reached 5 km), strong air heating, the release of forest combustion products, volcanic ash and various chemical compounds into the atmosphere, and the resulting climate change … this created in the aggregate such circumstances in which the survival of most organisms became impossible. And perhaps this has happened more than once. But the main thing is that a repetition of such a scenario cannot be ruled out: literally before our very eyes, a whole stream of cosmic bodies collided with Jupiter. And there are no fundamental factors that would make this already impossible for us. It means that we cannot hope for nature and maybebut must themselves become such a factor. Is this not a godly deed?
But this most important task is only part of it. Saving life on one planet in the long run is still a hopeless undertaking. And the only way to make the disappearance of life truly impossible is to spread it throughout the Universe, something that only man can. This is truly helping God, fulfilling an extremely significant and important task - preserving and spreading life itself, filling the Universe with its light. Such meanings were not laid down in the teachings of the Manicheans and Sergius, but they directly follow from their logic and ideals. And in this we see another confirmation that the USSR lived according to Sergius, from the very beginning set itself the goal of going out into space: "and on Mars apple trees will bloom!", Which he followed until the very last years of its existence.
This understanding of the place of man on earth and in the Universe is in sharp contrast to Augustine, for whom man is only an animal with a mind. Secondly, this means that a person, through knowledge of the laws of the course of life in the cycles of cultivation of the earth, is able to correctly choose the way of his actions, the way of his life, which leads to the enrichment of life on earth, and not to its fading and death. Man, knowing nature, physics, chemistry, the structure of materials and atoms, is able to rise above the Earth and bring her life to other worlds. This is goodness. Everything that contributes to the fulfillment by a person of his role on earth and in the world is good, although alternative options for actions and mistakes are not excluded, which are corrected over time. This understanding of the place of man opens and organizes the scope for science, for creativity,for the development of technical and biochemical technologies, for the development of man and mankind.
There is no doubt that this way of human existence, as the king of nature, as more and more intelligent, who understands more and more what and how happens in nature, who knows how to handle it, must be protected. Protected from the way of life in which the land is empty, the peasantry disappears, the people are economically driven into cities, and there they do not know what to do. And at the same time he knows nothing of real affairs. From a way of life in which the earth ceases to give birth without annual feeding with a mass of mineral fertilizers, and when abandoned, it turns into a dead zone, corroded by pesticides and corroded by wind and water erosion. In which genetically modified organisms do not reproduce naturally. And life itself is killed by billions of tons of garbage and hundreds of millions of tons of toxic waste.
Here is the ecological paradigm, here is the formula of the sacred struggle - for the sake of life on earth and in the entire Universe.
Well, the formula for victory over the challenge thrown down to man and God - also from Sergius of Radonezh - is an active hesychasm, which just creates an "intuitive man" who treats other people as animals - humanly, with respect for their dignity, pulling both people and animals upwards - towards reason and partnership.
