Monasticism is not required to give oneself to God. Over fixation on the flesh and sins of the flesh leads to self flagellation and other forms of self punishment but Christ never compelled you to suffer for him. Also do you not usurp him in his suffering for the sins of man by opting to suffer in his place. Paul made it perfectly clear Jesus is pure Forgiveness, embracing him without another agenda is all that is required. Self mortification and all forms of aecitism over complicate the simple and basic redemption of the last supper. To which he said, to take his flesh and blood. Not abandon yours. Montascism as the Tibetans have now painfully begun to realize always is dependent upon the Lay community. In Tibet their was a time when a Tyranical King destroyed all of the Monastic communities and temples because he hated Buddhism, the faithful had to resort to passing all of what the monasteries contained in secret between fathers and sons. The Lay community alone kept the entire tradition in full and when that dynasty came to an end they restored it. Now the Tibetan community desperate to feed there monks there monasteries now moved from a Buddhist Culture to a Hindu or a Christian one are now desperate to the point of sending completely undeveloped monks who have not ripened into saints to give sermons and blessings and collect money, they travel around the world to rich western countries but even that is drying up because those lay practioners that where of the sixties did nothing to bolster there own families they following the monks shunned family aspiring to be monks but instead made only a half step and instead did neither. Now people like me believers of the 80s have few peers. I know of maybe ten young people who care. Going to the temple now is like visiting an old folks home. The lay community is dying because the monks had zero consideration for empowering them or emphasizing the importance of their lineage. Instead they told everyone being a monk is highest and to reject sexuality and other passions. I still say the insane vanity and pride to think you could like Christ be crucified is so bold it makes me wince. Obviously for this monk their was a path but my suspicion is he understood his own teachings in much more nuance and was not so bold as to think he himself should accomplish Christs work. Beyond that I would warn anyone who thinks to be a monk. That a monastery is an expensive endeavor and it is paid for by alms and it is a life own should not plunge into but to check oneself step by step. To go camp for a week or a month and resolve to do nothing but prayer and see what happens to your mind. Then arrange to stay in a monastery for sometime and uphold the vows without taking them and see what happens to your mind. I have seen far far too many people attempt it only to realize there rejection of the world was just a denial of their own passions which now with nothing left to blame inflame them completely. Lastly I will repeat what I was getting at. The Lay community young sons and daughters introduced to the faith through parents is where monks come from. Monks do not sprout out of the ground if you wish to see more monks you must see the lay church flourish. And frankly as a Buddhist I see you are in worse shape then us. You may think I am going to hell but my temples are not flying rainbow flags and my brothers are focused on sainthood because our lay community does not believe and knows from experience that having children does not abuse you in some way where you cannot be a saint. Saints are made through, time in prayer, hardship, and the grace of God. As long as one does not sin or fails to confess it then you can do it and should do it. Rather than make the error of convincing people saints are only hermits and none exist in our world. That is not uplifting news. Weather you see it as a possibility I am positive you will find evidence of saints who had wives in your religion. If not… you still must contend that if the churches in the community are not strong and filled with the laughter of children. Then your monastic order is one generation away from death.
Based. All political rebellions and ideologies are destined to fail. Because they don't address the root cause of all earthly evil, the human ego and selfish desires. That's why Christ was NOT a communist NOR a rebel as the materialists claim. He brings a much more important rebellion, the one of the Spirit. The emptying of the ego and filling with Grace. The personal Cross embraced and made into a salvation vehicle. Everyone has a little dictator in them. If that one doesn't "die off", even if we kill all other dictators, there is still us!
I considered myself a pagan for a long time now. I grew up Catholic but was led down the path of paganism. By the end of this video, I was crying. I miss the lord, my life has felt so meaningless without him. I am going to attend an orthodox service this Sunday and repent. Thank you
@@rosaleencanning7228 god is not referred to as an entity, its referring to the god brain (right hemisphere) which is dormant if you're absorbed in the 3rd dimension(physical world). The bible and other religions are just blueprints for the human body
This was incredible. As a college student I feel that most of the religious guidance today fails to connect with people my age. To go against nihilism and materialism in such a direct and radical way is exactly what is needed for us to see God again.
Because religion is nonsense, it's a slave mentality. "Waste your life worshipping this deity and at the end, it all be worth it", no wonder the youth aren't interested in religion. There's more to life than begging for a place in heaven, let's fix this world before worrying about the afterlife.
What a video ! I am a 33 year old former heroin addict on methadone living at my parents basement and feel stuck. I was crying at the end, I think I needed that cry.
'Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door shall be opened'. This is from the Bible, as I expect you know, and represents a principle given to us by Yehovah the creator of all things. So, pray earnestly. Study Napoleon Hill and Maxwell Maltz. These focus on that principle set out in the Bible wherein that which you ask for you will receive. How do you ask for something? Focus on it. If you focus on failure, you get failure. If you focus on sadness or a bad experience, you will get that. But what happens if you learn to focus on something new? Focus on success, all the time, with: Desire: you must actually genuinely want the success you've chosen. It's no good becoming a scientist when you despise it. Plan it: what is success going to look like to you? You don't need to plan the pathway to success. Only the ultimate success itself. Faith: you must repeatedly imagine the thing you want again and again for at least 30 minutes every day. The image must be immersive as though it was actually happening to you. Remember, the brain does not know the difference between reality and imagination. So, when you repeatedly imagine the same thing, the subconscious mind, which is connected to the universe and so to Yehovah, manifests it. Persistence: You must be prepared to live as though you would use the rest of your life in order to achieve your goal. Of course, you will not end up doing that. It's just that you must act and feel that way. This can be all require a lot of processing for some people. But these things are the answer. They are the reason some people are billionaires and some are homeless. People are basically the same as one another. But it is their PERCEPTION and BELIEF that separate them from the world. After all, no one ever achieved anything by quitting. The only defeat you will ever truly face is resignation.
During the pandemic I came upon the Orthodox Church, only knowing it from Greek festivals in the Bronx, after obsessively studying Rome. I leaned in hard, started fasting and keeping a prayer rule and icons. In truth I was an imposter and still am. I was and am still terrified to step into a church, on the surface because I dont want people to judge me for my looks which is incredibly vain and stupid, but moreso I guess because Id have to confront myself and all my sins. I gave up fasting and controlling bodily passions but have started watching Fr. Heers and Spyridon and Trenham and tonight I found this. I could help but weep for half of it, it is beautiful and not in a hollow youtube comment sort of way but something that reached inside and reminds me more than ever we need Christ within us all. All the calamties and suffering are so pointless to endure only to die a second death. Pray for me a sinner and a coward and an imposter. ☦️
In the house of Christ no one is judged for there looks, do not fear! Christ looks only for what is within your heart, this is what I was taught as a child and I am Greek! So the next time you are outside of an Orthodox church go for it, it will change your life.
Go to church. Confess. It’ll get way easier after you get baptized and receive holy communion. It’s not all dark and gritty as this video might make it out to be. Amin ☦️
Entering the Church will give you the grace and strength you require to fight the demons who now have their eyes set on YOU...! Do not fall into the sin of pride by thinking now that you see the armies marching toward you clearly, you can fight them off without the armor of the Sacraments and the fortress that is the Church! Run to the ark of salvation brother, it's already begun raining...
Just goto the church, you’ll be taken in. I have old punk tattoos all over, even on my hands and I serve on the altar with the priest. The Orthodox Church is for everyone!
Hello, I'm 17 year old dude, still in senior highschool (im using my mom's account). I recently attended a protestant Church, eventually I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. But I honestly don't know who Jesus was, I'm still seeking for biblical Truth, of who Jesus is. Unfortunately, I find myself disappointed at my church's sermons for it often advocates prosperity preachings and living my best life etc. In all honesty, I long for the truth, I don't want a watered down Gospel, I seek the true Christ, the beauty of who God is. This video inspired me, I'm thinking of studying and seeking more unto what Orthodox is, and if it leads me to the Truth, I will go there. Please pray for me that I may be led unto the right path. This video is soul convicting, Grace and Peace of Jesus be upon you.
You should look into becoming a monk at a monastery, its paradise on earth. You pray all day to God eight times a day. And you can read beautiful monk books all day long. Such a beautiful life, better than what the world can offer which is nothing, the world cant offer nothing.
I am glad you realized that those sermons are not what God wants you to settle with. Prayer for His guidance and discernment is key. I was blessed with a Christian church near where I live. Someone reached out and explained the plan of Salvation. I accepted Jesus that afternoon. It's been 2 years in the walk, I still feel lukewarm, I need to read more. I started taking a bible class where we learn the basics, parables, and prophecy along with its fulfillment. We need to keep thw new covenant and know thw open Word. John.1:1-17 [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men. [5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. [6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. [7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. [8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. [9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. [10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. [11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. [15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. [16] And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. [17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Seek catholicism also. You're alredy flerting with othodox, but there're deep problems with orthodox because every patriarch is a pope, so they have deep disagreements and internal schism. God bless you.
This is AMAZING content. I spent 7 years in the venezuelan punk scene, driven by a thirst for justice and malallocated anger. This video sums up a large portion of my life's journey. May Christ Jesus bless you and protect you from the enemy ☦️☦️☦️
Feeling very blessed to have this randomly show up in my algorithm. Your editing is captivating and the visuals are gorgeous. I think it's so important for us as Christians, and especially the Orthodox, to create art that is aesthetically striking and spreads the Gospel. Thank you for using your talents to glorify God, and I pray your works are seen by many people, especially the young who still need to find the Church.
This is what origins was what then took from Irish Atlantis or tartarism origin that had then made the Christian origin created that was then changed into a half truth and taken to be what uses the designs and abilities to make it so it's not about the truths but cuts off the ability to do so with the st.paul I think it's specific to doing this the worse that does this edit for the change 500 years ago that makes your abilities shut off and given to the Blackbox of saturn type rituals so don't let organized religious setup that guilts/fears you for existing and being genuine true with yr gut feelings will be able to do I'd you give access to it again by being confirmed you don't need to follow a trick that lie does to shut that abilities purpose to read the vibrations around you and be instead of thinking about it processing the data like a email sent to a computer where its downloaded converted to open and read Inna format that we are able to understand thru reading format with that but is able to read thru feeling in yr 6th sense in yr gut and if you think it's leading to a thing like a ⚠ warning about how to avoid sprititual dishonesty etc only you can. Thru this video and the stuff it is taken in and understood is your choice I wish you the best journey In this and only unconditional love is true anything conditioned to get "love" is fake and hate or judgemental assumptions are the easiest ways to figure out what's wrong and not be fooled into but keep this stuff not out of yr awareness without exposure so you don't get spiritually discovered You are the ones who have the ability to gain the ability to godpower giving you the higher self awareness to see inside yr lower self which is yr everyday living in this world and functioning in a Body that holds yr spirit light energy ⛮ etc Godluck ❤ good and bad are the same thing and not evil etc but it's all what the intention was for by the one using the magic that is light and dark that aren't anything but a unbiased real thing like 2 fuel we use for cars to with engines that work best for each is diesel and gas which is a reality used that it's intentionally use for it gained is what turns it to be what it does in the end which is harm.to the air and such wasteful driving or intended to get to a and b point that's not fast enoughby walking to making a positive impact for an example of my point across Any with a secret knowledge of names of things and such please share after my comment for the ability to use the search engine to look intobits origins and such
as soon as i heard him go from calling God "God" to calling God "He", i knew this was just another christianity/judaism/islam promoting video. a true seeker refers to god as "god" or "it" instead of assuming things about the creator. otherwise it was a good video.
@@SimpleAmadeus not a literal house, unless you're planning on staying in that building forever? It's the house of God, meaning God and His sons and daughters.
@@blissseeker4719 You ridiculed the idea of a house of God in your original comment, but now you are trying to teach me that there is a house of God. I suspect that you are confused.
@@SimpleAmadeus ridicule? You want to know why you fell to nihilism? Because your faith came by an institution. Verily, faith does not come by any means - intellectual, institutional - but by one: grace. How you come by grace of the Lord, the Living God? Well, best I can advice you is by heart. Your heart in times of trouble must yearn for true goodness (the very same that is in God) that can not be found in this world. It must come from an innocent and humble place; like a child of yesteryear.
I’m a Heathen who grew up evangelical Christian and have been on a Pagan path for nearly ten years. I received a spontaneous desire to attend an orthodox service a few months ago, and found it curious, but it was not until I started to have repeated experiences with Christians who were modeling and speaking about Christ in a way I’d never seen that I realized my heart was softening and healing. I still identify as Pagan, but I have found a church home and am continuing to attend, I’m reading the scriptures and praying to and worshiping Christ, and so far the personal transformation, immense sense of peace, and just the ease with which my life has begun to flow are truly amazing. In my early thirties I can say this is the first time in my life I’ve ever had an experience of peace and joy, and it is electric and alluring. I’m very curious to see how this path unfolds, and I’m grateful to Christ for pulling me out of my misery and darkness. All hail the Christ ❤
My path is very similar to yours. I have been pulled to orthodoxy as well. I can’t fully articulate what I have felt, but I feel like we are moving towards “home” stay on the path my brother.
It's weird. Like REALLY weird. I went from Satanism(Luciferianism not this blackcraft garbage). Then went Nihilist. Now I am slowly for some odd reason, getting very curious about Orthodoxy as no other branch of Christianity suits me. I see a lot of things from my beliefs and Orthodoxy such as giving up everything on this Earth as it means nothing. Theosis meaning to become a god yourself (not God but a god). Stuff like that.
I released so much anger and hatred in my heart upon finishing this video I cried uncontrollably at the forgiveness and unbounded love of God.. this video needs to be shared to the masses.. I love you all my brothers and sisters..
I used to be a Nihilist scroller. Ever since I got my prayer rope and just prayed, read scripture and sat in silence meditating on the Lord, I have been at peace like never before, my body pains, my gluttony, my lust, my passions, are gone, my depression was replaced with immense Joy. Jesus saved me, he will save you too. Pray the Jesus prayer.
Be careful. I experienced demon delusion while practicing the Jesus Prayer, if you do prostrations, make the sign of the cross Everytime. If you bow down without the cross, you bow to the demons. I'm only a catechumen so it may not be the same as for you, make sure you get blessed by a priest at your local parish. God bless brother.
I'm not orthodox and i don't even know why this showed up but i'm glad it did. i've never felt more disconnected from the world. and not only that but as of late i just haven't even had the urge to indulge in such things. And make no mistake, i don't go to church, i don't even pray often, but i was raised up in church and i know what the word is. and for a long time i strayed away and went out into the world. and i don't regret it. it taught me a lot. but now about to be 31 i just don't see the use in it anymore. it's so important to mentally fortify yourself and to reject what they're pushing on us. it really does feel like were in the season for bad things to start happening. and i'm glad to have the knowledge of discernment. "because you are no longer part of the world, the world hates you."
We must read the Word of God in his spirit, pray to him in that Holy Spirit, do all things in and with him, for fellowship with God is a relationship given by the name and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We must dedicate every action to giving him thanks and Glory, Amen.
Father, I am young and wish to give myself to the church, I have lived a life of sin, and yet I have been changing and have been changed, I wish to devote myself to monk-hood, how does one become a monk?
Abbot Tryphon! Seeing you here warms my heart. Do you know Abbot Silouan of the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael in Cañones, NM? He helped introduce me to Orthodoxy.
May Jesus Christ be with you Holy Father. I am a Lutheran myself, I find my truth in the scriptures. But I hope one day, holy Father, that we may meet in heaven and be with our redeemer.
Protestant pastor here. I am in awe of your video aesthetics. I expect you'll capture the curiosity and inspire reflection from many people by exercising excellence in your craft. Well done.
Ive never ever came across Orthodox based content on RUclips during all my years on the site as far back as 2006, but I can say with certainty that this content is my new obsession and will be indefinitely.
If you really wanna find out truth you need real history. Research this and save this information: -constantin barbu , a lingivstic historian that helped many countries to complete or give answers to their puzzles regarding their old manuscripts. -He showed the whole world that romania is the only country that has complete manuscripts older than 2500 years. -He showed on your language ,history and lingvistic history that romania is the oldest country. -Now ,before orthodox christianity romania was pagan. One of the apostoles of Iisus Hristos ,named Andrei ,came 2023 years ago in romania and since then ,romania became Orthodox. -In the past there was only one Orthodox Church. -church of west (renamed catholic after herezi) and Church of east ,Orthodoxy ,were together for 1054 years but ,the church of west went in herezi and they put head of the church as pope ;they consider popes replacers of Hristos on earth. Orthodoxy did not accept that because head of church is Iisus Hristos. -In 2016 they made ecumenical sinod for all other denominations(sects)along with catholics to unite with Orthodoxy and have head the pope. -Today Orthodoxy is split in two : one is ecumenistic.( ecumenism is world religion) One the real and only true faith ,wich is for 2023 years ,wich still has Iisus Hristos as its head. -all sects derived from catholics. -kuran arrived 600 years after Orthodox Christianity. This mean kuran is fake and is a big error. The real faith( orthodox faith ) gave a written warning in the true Bible( Orthodox Bible ) wich is : even if an angel come with another gospel ,do not believe him. What did mohamed do? Answer : mohamed believed the lie of the fake angel .(demon) - torah is a lie and biggest enemy of humanity. - the old testament ended when Iisus Hristos came ,thus the designation "holy land" given to israel was ended by Him. Tell this to others.
I've revisited this video so many times in the past week. I even showed it to my family, in hopes they could appreciate it as well. Seriously one of if not the best videos I have ever seen.
I’m 13 and orthodox everyone in my family is catholic they have no faith and care only about material things and money my dad and sister are extremely materialistic my mom isn’t but always questions me about Christ and the videos I show her
This video is one of the greatest productions relating to the idea of "Death to the world" that I have ever seen, I am going to try to go to an Orthdox Church this Sunday. I have already brought a Study Bible and a prayer book. Thank you harmony for this amazing video which had me watching to the end!
I'm about a third of the way through this video, this is the most captivating, well produced, authentic, gritty, soul stirring and heart wrenching righteous propaganda I have ever witnessed... Glory to God ❤
The issue lies in the word "propaganda." Being a Christian is not propaganda. Being a Christian means to love all people with your entire being, especially the unbelievers and the forsaken, without bias. To love through actions, not propaganda.
@@MarkoZorecHimself everything you said was correct except your definition of propaganda... if you read DTTW or visit thier website or look into the history of DTTW you will see "righteous propaganda" is a term DTTW uses regularly to describe itself! God Bless you
@@Brody-Aleksander I know a lot of Orthodox Christians use the term 'righteous propaganda'. Nevertheless, I have trouble accepting this. The only one who truly knows what is righteous is Christ. If we as people become too self-righteous, we can quickly fall into pride. That's why I try my best to avoid passing judgment or condemning anyone. Because that is not love. Christ prefers the sinner who repents to the righteous person who is sure of their own right. God bless you, dear brother, I wish you all the best, always.
Even as a Roman Catholic, Death to the World is something that i have always find fascinating with a better understanding this is a open message to the Christendom... Thanks for this beautiful video i truly moved me to tears
I have Roman Catholic friends, I love so much of what ive seen and heard from catholics BUT, What i can't wrap my head around with Roman Catholics is the Pope and the Vatican, it's dripping in gold, wealth fancy robes, and earthly powers... It's vain, it's gluttonous, hypocritical, and many times heretical put up against the words of Jesus, the picture of the first century church, the entire idea of a christian life seems in opposition to what the Vatican is... Do you not feel uneasy with the Pope and the Vatican?
I’m a Pentecostal but I’ve been studying the history of the Orthodox Church. Slowly the Holy Spirit has guided me to learning all about Orthodoxy and im loving every minute of it. I’m a bit anxious to leave my church though because I’ve attended for so long and they’re like family to me. Pray for me brothers and sisters ✝️☦️
live the orthodox way of life. Others will be inspired and join. As st. Seraphim of Sarov said: Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved.
Ex-pentecostal here. Lead praise and worship for my dad's church for over 10 years. My dad has been a pastor for all my whole life. I get the hesitation of leaving. I Converted to orthodoxy about 3 years ago and have never been better. It was the best move for my wife and I.
Wow, your story is the same as mine. I’ve only recently fully realized what orthodoxy is and I’m in love with it I feel like this is home. This is the way to God. The emptiness I’ve always felt in our Pentecostal church has been fulfilled beyond my comprehension. I genuinely love the community we have built with our Pentecostal church and I pray they all come home to the Orthodox Church. I have never felt so spiritually close to God and my heart cries tears of joy. I attended my first ever Divine Liturgy last Sunday and although my journey is new I am more excited than words can express. Glory to God Glory to the HOLY Trinity. Lord have mercy on us wretched sinners. I love you with all my heart all of my mind all of my strength and all of my soul. Glory the to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Thank you for I shall soon be a catechumen on my way to baptism. Amen 🙏🏽 🤍🕊️☦️
I too walked this path. It may not prove easy but the joy and the profound reality that opens to you makes everything else as nothing. You are in my prayers.
I am nearing thrity years old. Despite being far removed from my angsty teenage years, I could never quite do away with my rebellious side. I thought, "surely I will mellow, conform and allow myself to be overtaken by society," but with each passing day I become more disillusioned by it all. As Guy Debord termed it, "The Spectacle", which is all this world seems to be any more has left me wholly unfulfilled and unimpressed. They assure you that fulfillment lies in your next purchase whether that be a car, a house, fancy clothes made by slaves in foreign countries, etc. Quite frankly, these bold faced lies offend me to the no end. How dare they think me to be so stupid as to fall for their silly little advertising gimmicks. Thank you for this piece of art. God is calling to me and I strive to be the man who can answer his call. As it was once said: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." Therefore, I dare say, that not only is cleanliness next to godliness but in today's world, so is rebellion. God Bless - L.C.
@@_sarpait is a drug in as far as it is medicine, medicine against communism. Communisys sought to stamp out religion because for as long as people look to divinity, meaning past this world, they can never worship a man of this world, the supreme leader. I wonder what actual hallucinogenics you partake in. Maybe you are obese as is the case with many atheists.
I remember learning about Death to the World about 20 years ago when I was living in Southern California. Great job, this is a work of art. Beautifully done. Pray for me. +

No, but he definitely wasn't a capitalist either, which I find a troublesome question. I think ultimately none of the systems work, they are all flawed, and that's why this world is wicked and you should seek the next world.
@@justforever96 The world is as god wills it. If we are in this life and world, there's a reason for it. There's a time for everything under the sun, and the time for the next world will come no matter what. This can only mean that we must do the most good here that we can, aiming to better the lives of all, and not run away desiring the next world. That would be just fear and desire taking over us again. With faith in god, and compassion for others, the world can't harm us, so we must dive in it and be free to do actual good.
@@justforever96 I don't know exactly. I pondered the same thought as you. For now i settle with something in between capitalism and socialism like the balance of Truth and Grace. Perhaps, the best idea would be work hard for your rewards but remember the poor and unfortunate. Faithful servant will be given more, everyone must work to give for those in needs, don't lend to your "brothers" with interests. Perhaps, we should see this world is battleground to be fought rather than city to be built.
Rebellion against the world is primarily a rebellion against sins and temptations. Now I am experiencing what is usually called the "teenage period of nihilism", many of my peers have been subjected to destructive ideologies, such as skinheads or "dead inside". But I'm still standing, because I felt God in my heart. In a fit of despair, I screamed into the void, and felt a loving look. I was so naive, thinking that the Lord does not make himself felt throughout my life. Now I am finally sure that God loves me, as well as all of us. God bless you, my brothers and sisters. Amen
When I was 18 I had what some might this youthful crisis. Because I thought I knew Christianity, I gave it the cold eye and started getting into Buddhism and other spiritual teachings. But now 10 years later, I came back to Christ.
As soon as you mentioned a monk in Georgia investigating a burning.. I knew St. Gabriel was gonna be in the video and got super excited. Such An amazing man and one of my favorite stories of him.
I just have to say, as someone who is investigating (and quite taken by) orthodoxy, this channel is an absolute blessing. Truly moving stuff. I will be subscribing soon, and i dont subscribe to much. God bless.
This video literally made me and a friend start attending Orthodox Church as visitors. For me personally I know I’ll become a member. Great job. The lord has shown through you
As a film director and ☦, this movie is amazing. Would love to talk to the director. I will do my best to promote this incredible piece of art. Looking forward to watching this movie again and analysing it.
This video confirmed my desire to become a monk. I will study monasticism and take my vows when I turn 20. May the living God grant you eternity in heaven, and i will be praying for you all.
You finally went away from Disrupt to create your own vision and present your artistic zeal is fantastic. I wasn't hoping to find you giving an apology to the drama that you were involved in but I am glad to see you on a new artistic journey. May God bless you onward!
This should be mandatory. So many people feel empty and without purpose. This cleansed my heart and gave me clarity. I wish everyone in the world the same ♥️
Thank you for making this. I spent about 10 years of my life beginning in my late teens absolutely screaming out for truth and searching for meaning and God but never knowing Him. By His providence and a series of events I can only describe as providential I found Him through His Church. ☦️🙏🏻
Your Video editing is out of this world! Visuals, Storytellin, pace and sound sfx just blew my mind! Thank you for this message, lately I tried to live my life like that and suddenly I can just grasp what this deep compassion may feel like. Now i feel confirmed that this is the way I have to go :)
Your editing style remains inspiring even with a huge subject change. You have a gift for visual storytelling, glad to see you're using it for a higher purpose
Gives me propaganda film vibes, meant to be shocking to evoke a certain response, a lasting effect on peoples minds if it were.

Hands down one of the best videos I've seen, I've not only learned a new perspective, but a whole new video editing style, storytelling, and a lot more about my patron saint. Thank you for making this.
@@BadKommentator Think of it more like a heavenly godfather/mother. It's by no means needed, but probably helpful, as you are not as holy and righteous (meaning your prayers are probably not as efficacious like theirs would be). Plus, you know, they have influence in the world too, by the grace of God.
It is impossible for me to precisely or correctly describe my overwhelming appreciation for this content, and my agreement with its meaning. Production, narration, editing, message, etc. Perfectly delivered and absorbed. Bravo. Truly amazing. Thank you.
From punk, to heroin addicted and homeless, to Catholic. I’ve always thought the punk movement is fully realized in Christ, and the Orthodox seem to make that connection in a big way. Fantastic documentary. Seriously fantastic. ❤ Peace of Christ be with you guys
@@skitotrachia3361 Indeed, what kind of army? We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, believers and unbelievers, Catholics and Orthodox, white and black, men and women. In Christ, there are no distinctions. Christ does not need an army. We only need to love everyone, especially our enemies. That is the only thing that interests Christ.
Just starting the video, have to say that Intro Music was one of the coolest things I've ever heard. The Metal Breakdown punctuated by clicks and clops, the bells and phased transition to the Africanish Gospel itself punctuated by the discordant funky guitars and handrums beat.... that was absolutely stunning
This video is so moving and the visuals so striking that it is hard to put it into words, I needed to watch this video and it made me realize how much I need Christ, and the story of St. Gabriel just made me cry. May God have mercy on us all, and please pray for me because I really need some some help in my walk as a Christian.
What a beautiful sermon. I need to track down and read more Death to the World. God bless and thank you so much for reading this and sharing this testimony.
I’m from Savannah, GA where there has always been a strong hardcore/punk scene. It’s wild to me that the kids that were hardcore punk back in the day are driving around with 50 number stickers proudly, displaying the numerous corporate intellectual properties, they are “obsessed“ with. It’s so true that without God, it’s impossible to maintain a rebellion against the world and its trappings. You either die a nihilist or live long enough to become a Disney adult.
What about the ascension from nihilism into absurdism? I was certainly a nihilist in my early teens, but absurdism overtook my misanthropy and turned into philanthropy and a lust for life, to lead an interesting and uplifting life, to leave this world in a better place than how I found it. In fact, I realize now that Absurdism is a lifelong rebellion. A battle against absurdity, to impose your will upon the world. To love and make your own meaning in life.
@@PotacintvervsBut absurdism fails in that it ultimately still is meaningless. Indeed, you rebel against that fact that it is all meaningless, and choose to live your life in spite of it, but the fact that it is meaningless still remains true. That Rebellion of yours, though it feels nice, ultimately fails to accomplish the goal of any rebellion: real change.
Thanks you so much for this. Sending it to my kids From Australia- we have our fair share of nihilism here too! As a father and grandfather I was deeply concerned about neglect and abuse of children in our society . I asked our Bishop ( a humble and devout man) what we might do to address this travesty in such an affluent land. He told me to ensure that I fulfil all my responsibilities to those whom God has given me - my wife and mother of our four children, the children and their spouses , two granddaughters and also my patients. ( I’m a doctor.) In effect change comes from the ground up not the top down. Raising Godly families and being dead to the values and temptations of this world and alive to Christ and our service to him . Keep up the great work
I have only been to church for weddings and funerals and have never touched a bible or any religious texts, ever, basically complete illiteracy. When the narrator recounted the monks; "There is no suffering at all, but to not know God" my chin quivered and my eyes twitched. I do not know God. I don't even know what that means. How can I believe that? I have always denied it. But why did I nearly break down into tears when he said that? I think I felt like I was being hugged for the time in my life when I heard those words. Now I need to figure out what to do about this experience. Thank you.
Go to a local Orthodox parish. Talk to the parish priest after the Divine Liturgy and you'll begin your journey in knowing and loving God... May the Holy Spirit guide you...
God wants to meet you. Open the door to Him,for He is patiently waiting.Go to Mount Athos,father Gavriil in Koutloumousi.Or Kartsonei,St Anna,another Father Gavriil.
@@ΜαριαΣ-δ7τ An update. It was 6 months ago I wrote this comment. 4 weeks ago I became convinced to my core that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. After my experience with this video, I continued to deny him for 5 months and then I just could not any longer. It was clear that he entered my heart and saved me. I humbly worship our Father in Heaven in all of my heart and I am so thankful for how patient he has been with me for my entire 27 years. He was just waiting for me. I love Him.
This video has been my introduction into Orthodoxy, I have a Protestant and Punk background and I am seriously considering Orthodoxy. This video may have legitimately changed the trajectory of my life
As an aging Punk rocker and new to The Orthodox Church this is awesome. I had heard of the zine before and thought it was super cool . One of the few true PUNK things I’ve seen in many many years
this was so good, God bless you all! please continue to adapt some more. This was such a beautiful thing to be able to see. I want to share it with the world. I am so hooked. This was so insightful, beautiful, blessed piece of art. I cried so hard close to the end of this!
I had the privilege of meeting Justin Marler, who created Death to the World, in Texas earlier this year. Fantastic man! I'm so excited his zines are being made into videos now! You all did a fantastic job of weaving modern imagery (the cell phones/recordings/etc) into the visuals of Orthodoxy.
@@lamortexotique it's like a magazine but shorter and more condensed. Death to the World started as a zine that was handed out at hardcore and punk concerts in the 90s and has grown into a pretty cool movement since then
@@peterroberts7832 thank you for the response. I did. Google but still couldn’t wrap my head around how a movement can start from magazines. I guess it’s just a unique way of communicating that I wasn’t familiar with :) thank you! :)

Thank you for all the work you put into this. It’s brilliant. It feels like a miracle that I saw this today. Honestly, life changing. Thank you. So powerful.
Jak, I am so pleased to learn you're back to making stuff again. I personally am non-denominational but my brother was chrismated back in December of last year and I've gained so much admiration and respect for the Orthodox Church over the course of his journey, so this is so exciting to see you making content from that lens. May God bless you and keep you. Can't wait for the next one.
The inherent & obvious lack of effort in the majority of content being produced today leaves a thinking mind in a state of stunned appreciation when blessed to find a piece of art like this, saturated in passion & effort. Kudos, and thank you.
When I no longer allowed my belief to be suspended by what my eyes saw in the Orthodox Church and began to ask questions about the things I did not understand, and when I read the history of the Christian Church and discovered at last that the oldest and truest church was in fact the Holy Orthodox Church before heresy arrested the West a thousand years after the ascension, I humbled myself and repented of my ego and pride and became a catechumen of the Orthodox Church. Four years later, I have never been more free, more humbled, and more aware of the disparity of truth in Western Christianity but also aware of the Gospel of our Lord who has conquered all disease of body and heart in this world, even falsehoods. I am blessed I was raised to follow Christ as a Protestant. It lead me back to the fullness of the faith into Orthodoxy, and for that I am so joyous! Christ has risen! Christ has conquered! ☦️❤️☦️
Tears flowed from my eyes from 11:45 to 13 minute mark, I had to pause it several times just to continue. I don't know why it happened and I don't even know what this feeling is that captivated me. Glory to God and His One True Church
Wow. This was amazingly well done! Watched the whole thing without taking my eyes off of it. Your team is great! Can’t wait to see more content from you people :) God bless you
@@greyfells2829 The Lord sometimes uses mere worldly things like the algorithm to nudge people on the right direction. Besides, the algorithm is influenced by the content one is interested in and keeps watching, it's probable that this person is or was in spiritual struggle and watches content like this to help him on it.
I have never seen such a good documentary of anything let alone orthodoxy . Every second is a masterpiece. A piece of art and I hope more people produce such content to bring people to the one true church ☦️
Very well done! May the Holy Gospel message reach the highways and the hedges. The fringe and the margins. This is where our Lord dwells! Embrace Him and He will embrace you.
fear not your world being trampled. A trampled world is a shared world. An untrampled world is not a world at all but a yard behind a fence, pristine but unshared - no barbeques or parties, or smell of brickettes to fill the neighborhood with that caustic nostalgia for the time lost; wistfulness and longing are the company of an untrampled world.
Bro casually made the hardest 30 second opening to any RUclips video ever immediately followed by probably the most inspiring religious video posted on this platform in the couple years Absolutely crazy work
I got this video in my algorithm almost at random and it’s really something I’ve been contemplating for awhile. While i am not Christian or religious for years now, I always believed in God but have found out that belief alone is not enough and can’t fill that emptiness I’ve felt for years now. Thank you for the push to look for God.
I’ll have to review, I like that it presents a bit like a public access documentary from the 70s. I’m ready for Boards of Canada to release their monastic inspired album. It’s interesting how a majority of atheistic and agnostic minded folks hold to a progressive-utopian world view.
This is Art, the definition of Art! I just love everything about this! I almost cried, it was the most beautiful videos ever made. God bless our souls and hopefully we don't fall into the endless cycle of sin and anger.
I actually began this expecting to dislike it, but I have to admit this is a masterful piece of film making, and one of the most persuasive calls to spirituality I have ever seen. I feel like the Orthodox church is on the verge of a huge surge of growing popularity, and it's content like that's that is going to fuel it.
@justforever96 opposite. The church is failing, Greece and Serbia are losing followers, the Greek orthodox church let gays merry. Its a new dark age for orthodoxy. Just like in 1940s and the Bolshevik era.
fellow chronic youtube users, please recommend channels like this one with phenomenal editing, especially the masterful use of audio and the pauses and all that
This was already one of the most beautiful videos I've seen, and then you included the story of cherished Father Gabriel which teared me up. Thank you for this and greetings from Georgia ☦ ღმერთს ებარებოდეთ.

Monasticism is not required to give oneself to God. Over fixation on the flesh and sins of the flesh leads to self flagellation and other forms of self punishment but Christ never compelled you to suffer for him. Also do you not usurp him in his suffering for the sins of man by opting to suffer in his place. Paul made it perfectly clear Jesus is pure Forgiveness, embracing him without another agenda is all that is required. Self mortification and all forms of aecitism over complicate the simple and basic redemption of the last supper. To which he said, to take his flesh and blood. Not abandon yours.
Montascism as the Tibetans have now painfully begun to realize always is dependent upon the Lay community. In Tibet their was a time when a Tyranical King destroyed all of the Monastic communities and temples because he hated Buddhism, the faithful had to resort to passing all of what the monasteries contained in secret between fathers and sons. The Lay community alone kept the entire tradition in full and when that dynasty came to an end they restored it.
Now the Tibetan community desperate to feed there monks there monasteries now moved from a Buddhist Culture to a Hindu or a Christian one are now desperate to the point of sending completely undeveloped monks who have not ripened into saints to give sermons and blessings and collect money, they travel around the world to rich western countries but even that is drying up because those lay practioners that where of the sixties did nothing to bolster there own families they following the monks shunned family aspiring to be monks but instead made only a half step and instead did neither. Now people like me believers of the 80s have few peers. I know of maybe ten young people who care. Going to the temple now is like visiting an old folks home. The lay community is dying because the monks had zero consideration for empowering them or emphasizing the importance of their lineage. Instead they told everyone being a monk is highest and to reject sexuality and other passions.
I still say the insane vanity and pride to think you could like Christ be crucified is so bold it makes me wince. Obviously for this monk their was a path but my suspicion is he understood his own teachings in much more nuance and was not so bold as to think he himself should accomplish Christs work.
Beyond that I would warn anyone who thinks to be a monk. That a monastery is an expensive endeavor and it is paid for by alms and it is a life own should not plunge into but to check oneself step by step. To go camp for a week or a month and resolve to do nothing but prayer and see what happens to your mind. Then arrange to stay in a monastery for sometime and uphold the vows without taking them and see what happens to your mind. I have seen far far too many people attempt it only to realize there rejection of the world was just a denial of their own passions which now with nothing left to blame inflame them completely.
Lastly I will repeat what I was getting at. The Lay community young sons and daughters introduced to the faith through parents is where monks come from. Monks do not sprout out of the ground if you wish to see more monks you must see the lay church flourish. And frankly as a Buddhist I see you are in worse shape then us. You may think I am going to hell but my temples are not flying rainbow flags and my brothers are focused on sainthood because our lay community does not believe and knows from experience that having children does not abuse you in some way where you cannot be a saint. Saints are made through, time in prayer, hardship, and the grace of God. As long as one does not sin or fails to confess it then you can do it and should do it. Rather than make the error of convincing people saints are only hermits and none exist in our world. That is not uplifting news. Weather you see it as a possibility I am positive you will find evidence of saints who had wives in your religion. If not… you still must contend that if the churches in the community are not strong and filled with the laughter of children. Then your monastic order is one generation away from death.
Based. All political rebellions and ideologies are destined to fail. Because they don't address the root cause of all earthly evil, the human ego and selfish desires. That's why Christ was NOT a communist NOR a rebel as the materialists claim. He brings a much more important rebellion, the one of the Spirit. The emptying of the ego and filling with Grace. The personal Cross embraced and made into a salvation vehicle. Everyone has a little dictator in them. If that one doesn't "die off", even if we kill all other dictators, there is still us!
I considered myself a pagan for a long time now. I grew up Catholic but was led down the path of paganism. By the end of this video, I was crying. I miss the lord, my life has felt so meaningless without him. I am going to attend an orthodox service this Sunday and repent. Thank you

Idk Orthodox youtube content is well established among youth I think (mostly youth is watxhing it in my opinion)
Because religion is nonsense, it's a slave mentality. "Waste your life worshipping this deity and at the end, it all be worth it", no wonder the youth aren't interested in religion. There's more to life than begging for a place in heaven, let's fix this world before worrying about the afterlife.

'Ask and you shall receive. Knock and the door shall be opened'. This is from the Bible, as I expect you know, and represents a principle given to us by Yehovah the creator of all things. So, pray earnestly. Study Napoleon Hill and Maxwell Maltz. These focus on that principle set out in the Bible wherein that which you ask for you will receive. How do you ask for something? Focus on it. If you focus on failure, you get failure. If you focus on sadness or a bad experience, you will get that. But what happens if you learn to focus on something new?
Focus on success, all the time, with:
Desire: you must actually genuinely want the success you've chosen. It's no good becoming a scientist when you despise it.
Plan it: what is success going to look like to you? You don't need to plan the pathway to success. Only the ultimate success itself.
Faith: you must repeatedly imagine the thing you want again and again for at least 30 minutes every day. The image must be immersive as though it was actually happening to you. Remember, the brain does not know the difference between reality and imagination. So, when you repeatedly imagine the same thing, the subconscious mind, which is connected to the universe and so to Yehovah, manifests it.
Persistence: You must be prepared to live as though you would use the rest of your life in order to achieve your goal. Of course, you will not end up doing that. It's just that you must act and feel that way.
This can be all require a lot of processing for some people. But these things are the answer. They are the reason some people are billionaires and some are homeless. People are basically the same as one another. But it is their PERCEPTION and BELIEF that separate them from the world. After all, no one ever achieved anything by quitting.
The only defeat you will ever truly face is resignation.
There is still light. God bless you!
May Our Lord touch you with His love…once He does, you will follow Him wherever He leads for the rest of your life. Peace to you sir

During the pandemic I came upon the Orthodox Church, only knowing it from Greek festivals in the Bronx, after obsessively studying Rome. I leaned in hard, started fasting and keeping a prayer rule and icons.
In truth I was an imposter and still am. I was and am still terrified to step into a church, on the surface because I dont want people to judge me for my looks which is incredibly vain and stupid, but moreso I guess because Id have to confront myself and all my sins.
I gave up fasting and controlling bodily passions but have started watching Fr. Heers and Spyridon and Trenham and tonight I found this. I could help but weep for half of it, it is beautiful and not in a hollow youtube comment sort of way but something that reached inside and reminds me more than ever we need Christ within us all. All the calamties and suffering are so pointless to endure only to die a second death.
Pray for me a sinner and a coward and an imposter. ☦️
In the house of Christ no one is judged for there looks, do not fear! Christ looks only for what is within your heart, this is what I was taught as a child and I am Greek! So the next time you are outside of an Orthodox church go for it, it will change your life.
God be with you!
Go to church. Confess. It’ll get way easier after you get baptized and receive holy communion. It’s not all dark and gritty as this video might make it out to be. Amin ☦️
Entering the Church will give you the grace and strength you require to fight the demons who now have their eyes set on YOU...! Do not fall into the sin of pride by thinking now that you see the armies marching toward you clearly, you can fight them off without the armor of the Sacraments and the fortress that is the Church! Run to the ark of salvation brother, it's already begun raining...
Just goto the church, you’ll be taken in. I have old punk tattoos all over, even on my hands and I serve on the altar with the priest. The Orthodox Church is for everyone!
Hello, I'm 17 year old dude, still in senior highschool (im using my mom's account). I recently attended a protestant Church, eventually I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. But I honestly don't know who Jesus was, I'm still seeking for biblical Truth, of who Jesus is. Unfortunately, I find myself disappointed at my church's sermons for it often advocates prosperity preachings and living my best life etc. In all honesty, I long for the truth, I don't want a watered down Gospel, I seek the true Christ, the beauty of who God is. This video inspired me, I'm thinking of studying and seeking more unto what Orthodox is, and if it leads me to the Truth, I will go there. Please pray for me that I may be led unto the right path. This video is soul convicting, Grace and Peace of Jesus be upon you.
You should look into becoming a monk at a monastery, its paradise on earth. You pray all day to God eight times a day. And you can read beautiful monk books all day long. Such a beautiful life, better than what the world can offer which is nothing, the world cant offer nothing.
17 here too brother, may we keep God close to our hearts, this worlds future is uncertain.
I am glad you realized that those sermons are not what God wants you to settle with. Prayer for His guidance and discernment is key. I was blessed with a Christian church near where I live. Someone reached out and explained the plan of Salvation. I accepted Jesus that afternoon. It's been 2 years in the walk, I still feel lukewarm, I need to read more. I started taking a bible class where we learn the basics, parables, and prophecy along with its fulfillment. We need to keep thw new covenant and know thw open Word.
John.1:1-17
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] The same was in the beginning with God.
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[5] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[6] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[8] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[9] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[10] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[11] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
[15] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
[16] And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Seek catholicism also. You're alredy flerting with othodox, but there're deep problems with orthodox because every patriarch is a pope, so they have deep disagreements and internal schism. God bless you.

Loose Change and Zeitgeist are other ones with an identical directing style that predates this, probably used as reference.
This is what origins was what then took from Irish Atlantis or tartarism origin that had then made the Christian origin created that was then changed into a half truth and taken to be what uses the designs and abilities to make it so it's not about the truths but cuts off the ability to do so with the st.paul I think it's specific to doing this the worse that does this edit for the change 500 years ago that makes your abilities shut off and given to the Blackbox of saturn type rituals so don't let organized religious setup that guilts/fears you for existing and being genuine true with yr gut feelings will be able to do I'd you give access to it again by being confirmed you don't need to follow a trick that lie does to shut that abilities purpose to read the vibrations around you and be instead of thinking about it processing the data like a email sent to a computer where its downloaded converted to open and read Inna format that we are able to understand thru reading format with that but is able to read thru feeling in yr 6th sense in yr gut and if you think it's leading to a thing like a ⚠ warning about how to avoid sprititual dishonesty etc only you can.

I’m a Heathen who grew up evangelical Christian and have been on a Pagan path for nearly ten years. I received a spontaneous desire to attend an orthodox service a few months ago, and found it curious, but it was not until I started to have repeated experiences with Christians who were modeling and speaking about Christ in a way I’d never seen that I realized my heart was softening and healing. I still identify as Pagan, but I have found a church home and am continuing to attend, I’m reading the scriptures and praying to and worshiping Christ, and so far the personal transformation, immense sense of peace, and just the ease with which my life has begun to flow are truly amazing. In my early thirties I can say this is the first time in my life I’ve ever had an experience of peace and joy, and it is electric and alluring. I’m very curious to see how this path unfolds, and I’m grateful to Christ for pulling me out of my misery and darkness. All hail the Christ ❤
My path is very similar to yours. I have been pulled to orthodoxy as well. I can’t fully articulate what I have felt, but I feel like we are moving towards “home” stay on the path my brother.
It's weird. Like REALLY weird. I went from Satanism(Luciferianism not this blackcraft garbage). Then went Nihilist. Now I am slowly for some odd reason, getting very curious about Orthodoxy as no other branch of Christianity suits me. I see a lot of things from my beliefs and Orthodoxy such as giving up everything on this Earth as it means nothing. Theosis meaning to become a god yourself (not God but a god). Stuff like that.
You cannot be a pagan and call Christ your king. Renounce paganism. That is of the world not of the heavens.
@@brandonarnett3860theosis is union with God. we do not become gods
@brandonarnett3860 seems like you're still pursuing self-interest
I released so much anger and hatred in my heart upon finishing this video I cried uncontrollably at the forgiveness and unbounded love of God.. this video needs to be shared to the masses.. I love you all my brothers and sisters..
God bless you
I love you too, and God bless you🙏🏽
I used to be a Nihilist scroller. Ever since I got my prayer rope and just prayed, read scripture and sat in silence meditating on the Lord, I have been at peace like never before, my body pains, my gluttony, my lust, my passions, are gone, my depression was replaced with immense Joy. Jesus saved me, he will save you too. Pray the Jesus prayer.
Glad to hear brother may God bless you and your family 🌹✝️❤️🔥
Be careful. I experienced demon delusion while practicing the Jesus Prayer, if you do prostrations, make the sign of the cross Everytime. If you bow down without the cross, you bow to the demons. I'm only a catechumen so it may not be the same as for you, make sure you get blessed by a priest at your local parish. God bless brother.
I'm not orthodox and i don't even know why this showed up but i'm glad it did.
i've never felt more disconnected from the world. and not only that but as of late i just haven't even had the urge to indulge in such things. And make no mistake, i don't go to church, i don't even pray often, but i was raised up in church and i know what the word is. and for a long time i strayed away and went out into the world. and i don't regret it. it taught me a lot. but now about to be 31 i just don't see the use in it anymore.
it's so important to mentally fortify yourself and to reject what they're pushing on us. it really does feel like were in the season for bad things to start happening. and i'm glad to have the knowledge of discernment.
"because you are no longer part of the world, the world hates you."
Christ is calling out to you, brother.
We must read the Word of God in his spirit, pray to him in that Holy Spirit, do all things in and with him, for fellowship with God is a relationship given by the name and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We must dedicate every action to giving him thanks and Glory, Amen.
Hey, I like the way you talk. Let's go start a cult. 😁
This old monk loves the film. Glory to God!
Father, I am young and wish to give myself to the church, I have lived a life of sin, and yet I have been changing and have been changed, I wish to devote myself to monk-hood, how does one become a monk?
Abbot Tryphon! Seeing you here warms my heart. Do you know Abbot Silouan of the Monastery of the Holy Archangel Michael in Cañones, NM? He helped introduce me to Orthodoxy.

as georgian, an artist, orthodox christian, it was such a joy to watch this creative and and full of wisdom video.
Where can we find your work?
Protestant pastor here. I am in awe of your video aesthetics. I expect you'll capture the curiosity and inspire reflection from many people by exercising excellence in your craft. Well done.
All three of my church fathers in the orthodoxy are former Protestant preachers lol.
Ive never ever came across Orthodox based content on RUclips during all my years on the site as far back as 2006, but I can say with certainty that this content is my new obsession and will be indefinitely.
If you really wanna find out truth you need real history. Research this and save this information:
-constantin barbu , a lingivstic historian that helped many countries to complete or give answers to their puzzles regarding their old manuscripts.
-He showed the whole world that romania is the only country that has complete manuscripts older than 2500 years.
-He showed on your language ,history and lingvistic history that romania is the oldest country.
-Now ,before orthodox christianity romania was pagan. One of the apostoles of Iisus Hristos ,named Andrei ,came 2023 years ago in romania and since then ,romania became Orthodox.
-In the past there was only one Orthodox Church.
-church of west (renamed catholic after herezi) and Church of east ,Orthodoxy ,were together for 1054 years but ,the church of west went in herezi and they put head of the church as pope ;they consider popes replacers of Hristos on earth. Orthodoxy did not accept that because head of church is Iisus Hristos.
-In 2016 they made ecumenical sinod for all other denominations(sects)along with catholics to unite with Orthodoxy and have head the pope.
-Today Orthodoxy is split in two :
one is ecumenistic.( ecumenism is world religion)
One the real and only true faith ,wich is for 2023 years ,wich still has Iisus Hristos as its head.
-all sects derived from catholics.
-kuran arrived 600 years after Orthodox Christianity. This mean kuran is fake and is a big error. The real faith( orthodox faith ) gave a written warning in the true Bible( Orthodox Bible ) wich is : even if an angel come with another gospel ,do not believe him.
What did mohamed do?
Answer : mohamed believed the lie of the fake angel .(demon)
- torah is a lie and biggest enemy of humanity.
- the old testament ended when Iisus Hristos came ,thus the designation "holy land" given to israel was ended by Him.
Tell this to others.
oh dude there is sooo much good orthodox stuff on here, i highly recommend "blind monk chants" its amazing
Trisagion Films a great youtube channel
Based content. Lol…
I've revisited this video so many times in the past week. I even showed it to my family, in hopes they could appreciate it as well. Seriously one of if not the best videos I have ever seen.
Can't agree more
I’m 13 and orthodox everyone in my family is catholic they have no faith and care only about material things and money my dad and sister are extremely materialistic my mom isn’t but always questions me about Christ and the videos I show her
Agreed.
This video is one of the greatest productions relating to the idea of "Death to the world" that I have ever seen, I am going to try to go to an Orthdox Church this Sunday. I have already brought a Study Bible and a prayer book. Thank you harmony for this amazing video which had me watching to the end!
I'm about a third of the way through this video, this is the most captivating, well produced, authentic, gritty, soul stirring and heart wrenching righteous propaganda I have ever witnessed... Glory to God ❤
Thank you for watching, God bless
a slow-burn generald, if you may
The issue lies in the word "propaganda." Being a Christian is not propaganda. Being a Christian means to love all people with your entire being, especially the unbelievers and the forsaken, without bias. To love through actions, not propaganda.
@@MarkoZorecHimself everything you said was correct except your definition of propaganda... if you read DTTW or visit thier website or look into the history of DTTW you will see "righteous propaganda" is a term DTTW uses regularly to describe itself!
God Bless you
@@Brody-Aleksander I know a lot of Orthodox Christians use the term 'righteous propaganda'. Nevertheless, I have trouble accepting this. The only one who truly knows what is righteous is Christ. If we as people become too self-righteous, we can quickly fall into pride. That's why I try my best to avoid passing judgment or condemning anyone. Because that is not love. Christ prefers the sinner who repents to the righteous person who is sure of their own right. God bless you, dear brother, I wish you all the best, always.
Even as a Roman Catholic, Death to the World is something that i have always find fascinating with a better understanding this is a open message to the Christendom...
Thanks for this beautiful video i truly moved me to tears
Agreed! I love the ideas behind it.
Truth has no denomination or sect. It simply is.
@@st.dennie1149 indeed, truth is beyond human divisions. God is beyond human divisions.
@@st.dennie1149we are all brought together in communion through the love of god.
I have Roman Catholic friends, I love so much of what ive seen and heard from catholics BUT, What i can't wrap my head around with Roman Catholics is the Pope and the Vatican, it's dripping in gold, wealth fancy robes, and earthly powers... It's vain, it's gluttonous, hypocritical, and many times heretical put up against the words of Jesus, the picture of the first century church, the entire idea of a christian life seems in opposition to what the Vatican is... Do you not feel uneasy with the Pope and the Vatican?
I’m a Pentecostal but I’ve been studying the history of the Orthodox Church. Slowly the Holy Spirit has guided me to learning all about Orthodoxy and im loving every minute of it. I’m a bit anxious to leave my church though because I’ve attended for so long and they’re like family to me. Pray for me brothers and sisters ✝️☦️
live the orthodox way of life. Others will be inspired and join.
As st. Seraphim of Sarov said:
Acquire a peaceful spirit, and thousands around you will be saved.
Ex-pentecostal here. Lead praise and worship for my dad's church for over 10 years. My dad has been a pastor for all my whole life. I get the hesitation of leaving. I Converted to orthodoxy about 3 years ago and have never been better. It was the best move for my wife and I.
Wow, your story is the same as mine. I’ve only recently fully realized what orthodoxy is and I’m in love with it I feel like this is home. This is the way to God. The emptiness I’ve always felt in our Pentecostal church has been fulfilled beyond my comprehension. I genuinely love the community we have built with our Pentecostal church and I pray they all come home to the Orthodox Church. I have never felt so spiritually close to God and my heart cries tears of joy. I attended my first ever Divine Liturgy last Sunday and although my journey is new I am more excited than words can express. Glory to God Glory to the HOLY Trinity. Lord have mercy on us wretched sinners. I love you with all my heart all of my mind all of my strength and all of my soul. Glory the to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Thank you for I shall soon be a catechumen on my way to baptism. Amen 🙏🏽 🤍🕊️☦️
I too walked this path. It may not prove easy but the joy and the profound reality that opens to you makes everything else as nothing. You are in my prayers.
I am praying
I thought I was going crazy thinking this was a Disrupt video. After watching Disrupt all these years, this is by far your best work. Well done!
YOOO IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE! his unique voice can make anything interesting.
I am nearing thrity years old. Despite being far removed from my angsty teenage years, I could never quite do away with my rebellious side. I thought, "surely I will mellow, conform and allow myself to be overtaken by society," but with each passing day I become more disillusioned by it all.
As Guy Debord termed it, "The Spectacle", which is all this world seems to be any more has left me wholly unfulfilled and unimpressed. They assure you that fulfillment lies in your next purchase whether that be a car, a house, fancy clothes made by slaves in foreign countries, etc. Quite frankly, these bold faced lies offend me to the no end. How dare they think me to be so stupid as to fall for their silly little advertising gimmicks.
Thank you for this piece of art. God is calling to me and I strive to be the man who can answer his call. As it was once said: "Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God."
Therefore, I dare say, that not only is cleanliness next to godliness but in today's world, so is rebellion.
God Bless

Based. All political rebellions and ideologies are destined to fail. Because they don't address the root cause of all earthly evil, the human ego and selfish desires. That's why Christ was NOT a communist NOR a rebel as the materialists claim. He brings a much more important rebellion, the one of the Spirit. The emptying of the ego and filling with Grace. The personal Cross embraced and made into a salvation vehicle.
No, but he definitely wasn't a capitalist either, which I find a troublesome question. I think ultimately none of the systems work, they are all flawed, and that's why this world is wicked and you should seek the next world.
@@justforever96 The world is as god wills it. If we are in this life and world, there's a reason for it. There's a time for everything under the sun, and the time for the next world will come no matter what. This can only mean that we must do the most good here that we can, aiming to better the lives of all, and not run away desiring the next world. That would be just fear and desire taking over us again.
With faith in god, and compassion for others, the world can't harm us, so we must dive in it and be free to do actual good.
@@justforever96 I don't know exactly. I pondered the same thought as you. For now i settle with something in between capitalism and socialism like the balance of Truth and Grace. Perhaps, the best idea would be work hard for your rewards but remember the poor and unfortunate. Faithful servant will be given more, everyone must work to give for those in needs, don't lend to your "brothers" with interests. Perhaps, we should see this world is battleground to be fought rather than city to be built.
Copiate of the masses
Read the sermon on the mount and Didache and tell us how Jesus original followers were not practicing a version of socialism.
Rebellion against the world is primarily a rebellion against sins and temptations. Now I am experiencing what is usually called the "teenage period of nihilism", many of my peers have been subjected to destructive ideologies, such as skinheads or "dead inside". But I'm still standing, because I felt God in my heart. In a fit of despair, I screamed into the void, and felt a loving look. I was so naive, thinking that the Lord does not make himself felt throughout my life. Now I am finally sure that God loves me, as well as all of us. God bless you, my brothers and sisters. Amen
When I was 18 I had what some might this youthful crisis. Because I thought I knew Christianity, I gave it the cold eye and started getting into Buddhism and other spiritual teachings. But now 10 years later, I came back to Christ.
As soon as you mentioned a monk in Georgia investigating a burning.. I knew St. Gabriel was gonna be in the video and got super excited. Such An amazing man and one of my favorite stories of him.
I just have to say, as someone who is investigating (and quite taken by) orthodoxy, this channel is an absolute blessing. Truly moving stuff. I will be subscribing soon, and i dont subscribe to much. God bless.
Same here bro
This video literally made me and a friend start attending Orthodox Church as visitors. For me personally I know I’ll become a member. Great job. The lord has shown through you
As a film director and ☦, this movie is amazing. Would love to talk to the director. I will do my best to promote this incredible piece of art. Looking forward to watching this movie again and analysing it.
Do you have an instagram?
This video confirmed my desire to become a monk. I will study monasticism and take my vows when I turn 20. May the living God grant you eternity in heaven, and i will be praying for you all.
Holy moly, what an experience. Thanks to everyone involved, this is incredible.
You finally went away from Disrupt to create your own vision and present your artistic zeal is fantastic. I wasn't hoping to find you giving an apology to the drama that you were involved in but I am glad to see you on a new artistic journey. May God bless you onward!

why would you need something like a patron saint? Through Jesus we can go directly to the father, no need go through something or someone other
@@BadKommentator I have no need for anything, the saints are to inspire, or just relate with, a person you meet on the road to God

From punk, to heroin addicted and homeless, to Catholic. I’ve always thought the punk movement is fully realized in Christ, and the Orthodox seem to make that connection in a big way. Fantastic documentary. Seriously fantastic. ❤ Peace of Christ be with you guys
We are legion.
You catholics are so open about being satanic ("we are legion")
We are all children of The Lord but orthodox are his army.
@@skitotrachia3361 Indeed, what kind of army? We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, believers and unbelievers, Catholics and Orthodox, white and black, men and women. In Christ, there are no distinctions. Christ does not need an army. We only need to love everyone, especially our enemies. That is the only thing that interests Christ.
I would be cautious, by no means should you imagine that punk has anything to do with Christ. Christ is not rebellion. Christ is love.
Just starting the video, have to say that Intro Music was one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

What a beautiful sermon. I need to track down and read more Death to the World. God bless and thank you so much for reading this and sharing this testimony.
I’m from Savannah, GA where there has always been a strong hardcore/punk scene. It’s wild to me that the kids that were hardcore punk back in the day are driving around with 50 number stickers proudly, displaying the numerous corporate intellectual properties, they are “obsessed“ with. It’s so true that without God, it’s impossible to maintain a rebellion against the world and its trappings. You either die a nihilist or live long enough to become a Disney adult.
What about the ascension from nihilism into absurdism? I was certainly a nihilist in my early teens, but absurdism overtook my misanthropy and turned into philanthropy and a lust for life, to lead an interesting and uplifting life, to leave this world in a better place than how I found it.
In fact, I realize now that Absurdism is a lifelong rebellion. A battle against absurdity, to impose your will upon the world. To love and make your own meaning in life.
@@PotacintvervsBut absurdism fails in that it ultimately still is meaningless. Indeed, you rebel against that fact that it is all meaningless, and choose to live your life in spite of it, but the fact that it is meaningless still remains true. That Rebellion of yours, though it feels nice, ultimately fails to accomplish the goal of any rebellion: real change.

Thanks you so much for this. Sending it to my kids
From Australia- we have our fair share of nihilism here too!
As a father and grandfather I was deeply concerned about neglect and abuse of children in our society . I asked our Bishop ( a humble and devout man) what we might do to address this travesty in such an affluent land.
He told me to ensure that I fulfil all my responsibilities to those whom God has given me - my wife and mother of our four children, the children and their spouses , two granddaughters and also my patients. ( I’m a doctor.)
In effect change comes from the ground up not the top down. Raising Godly families and being dead to the values and temptations of this world and alive to Christ and our service to him .
Keep up the great work
I have only been to church for weddings and funerals and have never touched a bible or any religious texts, ever, basically complete illiteracy. When the narrator recounted the monks; "There is no suffering at all, but to not know God" my chin quivered and my eyes twitched. I do not know God.
I don't even know what that means. How can I believe that? I have always denied it. But why did I nearly break down into tears when he said that? I think I felt like I was being hugged for the time in my life when I heard those words. Now I need to figure out what to do about this experience.
Thank you.

Jak, I am so pleased to learn you're back to making stuff again. I personally am non-denominational but my brother was chrismated back in December of last year and I've gained so much admiration and respect for the Orthodox Church over the course of his journey, so this is so exciting to see you making content from that lens. May God bless you and keep you. Can't wait for the next one.
The inherent & obvious lack of effort in the majority of content being produced today leaves a thinking mind in a state of stunned appreciation when blessed to find a piece of art like this, saturated in passion & effort. Kudos, and thank you.
When I no longer allowed my belief to be suspended by what my eyes saw in the Orthodox Church and began to ask questions about the things I did not understand, and when I read the history of the Christian Church and discovered at last that the oldest and truest church was in fact the Holy Orthodox Church before heresy arrested the West a thousand years after the ascension, I humbled myself and repented of my ego and pride and became a catechumen of the Orthodox Church. Four years later, I have never been more free, more humbled, and more aware of the disparity of truth in Western Christianity but also aware of the Gospel of our Lord who has conquered all disease of body and heart in this world, even falsehoods. I am blessed I was raised to follow Christ as a Protestant. It lead me back to the fullness of the faith into Orthodoxy, and for that I am so joyous! Christ has risen! Christ has conquered! ☦️❤️☦️

One of the best videos I’ve seen on RUclips. Keep up the good work. Excited to see what y’all put out in the future.
I’ll have to review, I like that it presents a bit like a public access documentary from the 70s. I’m ready for Boards of Canada to release their monastic inspired album.
It’s interesting how a majority of atheistic and agnostic minded folks hold to a progressive-utopian world view.
Boards of Constantinople
What else do they have to hope for? Could it be the part of man that knows deep down we are meant for something greater, ultimately someone greater.
It’s their only real hope I suppose, given the implications of their worldview.
I’m atheist. It is indeed our version of hope, but since it’s based off science there is a reality that I know is possible.
@@noahnorigin2020 you mean, you have faith that it is ultimately possible somewhere down the line at some future date.
I've watched this almost every night for the last month. Thank you for making it
Excellent ❤
Pretty cool, i remember this zine, i still have a couple copies. Someone clearly put a lot of time into this, i hope you get a lot of views
This is Art, the definition of Art! I just love everything about this! I almost cried, it was the most beautiful videos ever made. God bless our souls and hopefully we don't fall into the endless cycle of sin and anger.
I actually began this expecting to dislike it, but I have to admit this is a masterful piece of film making, and one of the most persuasive calls to spirituality I have ever seen. I feel like the Orthodox church is on the verge of a huge surge of growing popularity, and it's content like that's that is going to fuel it.
@justforever96 opposite. The church is failing, Greece and Serbia are losing followers, the Greek orthodox church let gays merry. Its a new dark age for orthodoxy. Just like in 1940s and the Bolshevik era.
fellow chronic youtube users, please recommend channels like this one with phenomenal editing, especially the masterful use of audio and the pauses and all that
This was already one of the most beautiful videos I've seen, and then you included the story of cherished Father Gabriel which teared me up. Thank you for this and greetings from Georgia ☦ ღმერთს ებარებოდეთ.
This is such a beautiful piece of art, and a genuine labor of love for Christ and your fellow man. Thank you very much for sharing this with the world, and may God bless you to keep spreading his message of salvation through this platform and beyond
Seems many of we former punk rock-obsessed youths have found our way to this incredibly uplifting video and channel. Thank you Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords and King of Kings, for working through @Harmony and bringing us such desperately needed inspiration. ❌ 🐍 ❌
awesome as always jak
Thanks Surf!

Wonderfully done. You have a noble passion, God bless
One of the best video essays I have ever seen. Absolutely phenomenal.
Amazing production ! The orthodox world needs creative people like you , God bless you ! I can absolutely relate to everything in the video , when i was young i was very hardcore punk , tattoos piercings , weed and hatred for the system , but glory to God i have seen the truth. :)
This deserves millions upon millions of views. Such a powerful video
This is an incredible presentation. St Gabriel’s story always moves me to tears. And the message that is presented here resonates deeply with my soul.
