If my "I" prevails, my journey will be a descent into death.
There is a sense in which only two things exist: the self and God. And if God is to be the foundation, I am confronted with an ultimate choice: my self or God.
If my "I" prevails, my journey will be a descent into death. If God prevails, then our life together may begin. The choice between God and the ego is the choice between life and death.
- Elder Aimilianos
Psalms and the Life of Faith
