Elder Porphyrios on how bad thoughts mystically harm others
The post shares a teaching from Elder Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia. He explains that when we think badly of someone, a force proceeds from us and passes to the other person like sound waves, and the other truly suffers evil. This happens as a kind of lesson when a person has bad thoughts for others.
It proceeds from our anger. We mystically transmit our evil. God does not cause evil; human malice does. God does not punish; rather our disposition mystically passes to the soul of another and does evil. Christ never wills evil but told us to bless our enemies.
Main points
- Bad thoughts transfer like sound waves and cause real harm to others
- This transmission stems from human anger, not divine action
- God neither causes evil nor punishes; human malice mystically affects another's soul
- Christ commands blessing enemies, never willing evil
- The teaching comes from Elder Porphyrios of Kafsokalyvia
