“ For men of God, however, what the world calls natural is unnatural and they experience as natural what is called supranatural. St. Symeon the New Theologian, confronted by accusations that it is impossible for men to live in such supranatural states, to live in freedom of the flesh, wrote that he who is not dispassionate does not know what dispassion is, “ and cannot believe that anyone on earth could possess it.” And this is natural in a way, “for when a man judges the affairs of his fellows for good or evil, he can do so only on the basis of his personal condition.” Each one judges according to the content of life and the way in which he lives.” ( Source )
