ΤΗΕ ROLE OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
Only
the Orthodox Church cures the human soul
The
therapeutic treatment is one and only. There are not many therapies
for the human nous out there; only one: the very therapy offered by
the Orthodox Church! There are 120 so-called therapies that get
around in this world and are being offered by those so-called
psychiatrists and psychologists (excuse me; this is an expression by
St. Porphyrios), at least here in Greece.
Yes,
you heard right: 120 different "psychotherapies" circulate
today here in Greece! This fact is just enough for somebody to figure
out that there is no therapy at all to be found in those systems and
"psychiatric stores", because, if there had
been
one, there would not have been necessarily 120 methods offered out
there! It
would have been
only one and sufficient. Wherever we see many drugs and many methods,
allegedly curing the same disease, it means we have no effective
therapy in our hands, it means we actually do not know the right
treatment.
The
so-called psychiatrists and psychotherapists-psychologists do not
even know what our soul is.
I
would have to admit that their ignorance on how to cure the human
soul is absolutely justifiable, because they absolutely have no idea
about
the
human soul. Only our Church knows. Only our Holy Fathers know what
our soul is, and this
only as
much as our All-wise God allows them to.
Our
so-called worldly psychiatrists never talk and do not know anything
about the purification of our nous. We can find this out very easily,
if we study the "psychotherapies" of today. Not to mention,
even the term "psychotherapy", the way it is used by most
of the people today, is in fact wrong; it is a ridiculous term for
the meaning of the real healing of the soul. The same counts for
psychiatry and psychology; they are both ridiculing terms of the
scientific specialty they claim to represent, because all of the
persons serving those specialties do not
even
know what the human soul is. How can they possibly cure something
they do not know anything about?
If
we study all the relevant dictionaries or the psychology books, we
will nowhere find anything written about what our soul is. There is
no given definition about our soul in those books or just a very
general descriptive definition. What
they
actually refer to is
our
behavior, and all the so-called psychotherapeutic methods are
actually systems that aim to control and correct our behavior. What
they can offer to the patient is just a superficial relief; they are
not methods for the therapy of the soul
and
none of them actually even
touches
on our very soul!
