Orthodox Quote for May 19
“I became Orthodox in part because I wanted the free will that God was offering. I wanted personhood. I did not want to submit to a life of possession. That’s where this all ends, spoiler alert. You get information from demons until you can’t think or function by yourself, and the end point is allowing them to occupy you forever, whether you have the illusion of control over the situation or not. I’ve been offered that in too many traditions to count.”
(Justine Alter, former ‘psychic’ and Orthodox convert, in ‘Journey to Orthodoxy’)
