TheCrowandtheOwl Once, when the clouds were forming And indeed, you are an owl, I, still with the weight of night, For truly, you sleep all day, Two birds I beheld, If this I say is true, A most unusual pairing The owl then answered coolly, One was a black crow, and listen to what I say, Beside him, a blind owl, Logic may be wholly sound, “Logic, 'tis such a fine thing!”, But empty premise-chasing, “O, how I love induction, Truth may never so be reached, How I loath the nightingale, Is as good as splitting yarn.” Her song so inconsistent, For you should very well know, But then the owl hooted, And crows use logic always, “You misguide yourself here, Thus I know assuredly, To what the nightingale sings, “Your ilk I esteem, crow, The crow coldly assured, 1 Our callow friend, the crow, Deals an ad hominem blow.

Entering into the Realm of NonExistence T. E. Ehrenfreund I. Introduction There is being and there is nonbeing. There is something and there is nothing. There is action and there is stillness. Symbolically, there is light and there is darkness. Analogically, there is sun and there is moon. We are within the Realm of Existence, of simply being . Herein, we live perceptively according to what we can deduce and derive from this Realm. Our entire lives in all aspects of any kind or degree are bound by this reality we know as being. Therefore, to imagine or ponder a reality opposite to ours (that of nonexistence, nothingness, or “unreality”), is a truly difficult task. Outside of the faculty of our mind’s intellect, pensivity, imagination, thought processes, or any other capabilities it may have (or yet have to unlock or utilize), we cannot truly comprehend such a concept we have not ourselves experienced or even have the ability to experience. Likewise, the concept of eternity or “timeless time” can be grasped to an extent theoretically and philosophically; but in actuality, to grasp it in fullness is not possible due to a lack of experiencing truly this reality of everlasting time. Nonexistence can be symbolically or illustratively called “the absolute blackness” or “the total void”. Nonexistence, along with many other phenomena, is a mystery. Contrary to popular and mundane opinion, a mystery is not the absence of the knowledge of something, but (at least for the sake of this paper) it is defined as that which can be understood to a certain degree via reason, logic, and the like, but cannot be truly grasped in its entirety due to the aforementioned limitations that exist with us residing in our present, finite, limiting reality of being. Using illustrative terms such as “the absolute blackness” or “the total void” are useful in so far as they appeal to our experiential aspect of our thinking: we have perceived darkness with the cessation of light, and therefore understand from experience the concept of darkness or blackness. From this, we can infer that the adjective “absolute” modifying the noun “darkness” signifies this darkness in an exponentially greater degree. The same applies to the term “the total void”. However, almost all illustrations of mysteries or concepts outside of our finite perception bound to this Realm of Existence, have their limitations; these terms of “the absolute darkness” and “the total void” are of no exception. For, the concept of nonexistence is not one of physical attributes; hence, it cannot be truly called “the absolute blackness ”. Neither is the concept of nonexistence relating to anything spatial. For nonexistence is the absence of all that we perceive, experience, or have yet to experience within our current Realm of Existence or State of Being. Indeed, any analogy, or illustration that tries to add ease or leverage to our minds to try to grasp this concept of nonexistence, will inevitably lead us astray in understanding or even to start to understand just a fraction of what nonexistence truly is. For it is totally and utterly outside of the current reality we find ourselves trapped within, and of which we derive our ability to theorize, perceive, explain, imagine, etc. One could joke and say that the reality of nonexistence, to us , is simply nonexistent! Although this is the case, as mentioned before, we can at least attempt or try to endeavour on the “unendeavourable” in understanding what it is theoretically. That being said, one should not be mislead in thinking this paper is the answer to the total and true apprehension, or even the beginning of an apprehension, of this mysterious Realm of Nonexistence. Rather, this paper is only to act as a vehicle of the manifestation of thought provocation into this subject. In other words, it is to be a spark to ignite you, the reader, into thinking deeper within your own reality and existence in the terms and ideas laid of for you in this paper. It is for you to begin to ask the next questions of this “puzzle”, and perhaps create your own insight into our existence. II. The State and Realm of the Nonexistence Previously this paper has only just touched on the introduction of defining what nonexistence actually is. It is fair, then, to expound in greater detail and explanation (to the extent that our finite, existencebounded minds allow for), as to what is meant by the State or the Realm of Nonexistence. Using statements such as, “There is being and there is nonbeing.” and “There is something and there is nothing.”, set the tone in defining what is meant by the realm and the State of Nonexistence. The two terms “State” and “Realm” may be assumed as synonyms but in the context of this paper, they are not. Rather, they compliment one another and are contingent upon each other. The definition of the word “state” itself is the way of living or existing. It could also be defined as the mode, expression, way, condition, quality, or even essence of the existence of a particular something. Subsequently, in this case, the State of Nonexistence would be defined as nonexistence in and of itself and in all that it is comprised of qualitatively. Since by even attempting to define this term does so within the bounds of our reality of existence, the definition of the State of Nonexistence, contextually, is simply the absence of all that is or consists of the Realm of Existence or Being we now reside and have our being and existence within. It is not only the total absence of the Realm of this Being but also its very state (as defined in the definition of state itself). For the Realm of either being or nonbeing, existence or nonexistence in its quality or essence subsists, comprises, and ever gives birth to their inherent Realms. Bringing realm into the conversation, we must of necessity also try to define what is meant by “realm”. The term “realm” itself is defined as being a sphere, domain, and area. With that being said, what is meant by realm in the context of this paper? Simply stated, realm is the “framework” or “expanse” wherein subsides and is totally made up of and comprised of its state. Resorting to Hellenic philosophical terms, state is “ουσια”, or the very essence of either being or nonbeing; realm is the figurative, theoretical “dwellingplace” which is comprised of this state. However, as warned before, using such terms invoke the existence in which we find ourselves in now, and tempt us to think in material, spatial, and finite terms, rather than theoretical and hypothetical terms. Similarly, when using these terms of “state” and “realm”, out of necessity the word “existence or being” or the verbs “to exist, to be, to subside, etc.” are used. This is due to the realm or framework in which we find ourselves in which is constantly existing. It is in this limitation that even the very defining of these terms in relation to something that is nonexistent, is difficult in achieving. In order to allow one’s mind to understand this, using what we know within our current realm of being, the following illustration could be used. Let us allow our brains to think as far back as we are able to, then progress chronologically through all of the thoughts of all that you have experienced in any way up until this present point of reference. Now, stand up, and make a full rotation around the room or space wherein you find yourself. Open your eyes while still holding onto the thoughts you collected, and observe your surroundings. Proceed to go outside if you are not already there. While there, continue to observe your immediate surroundings. Let each of your five senses perceive and take in all it can around you. Take into account all of the plant life, animal life, and human life around you. Now look up into the sky. Whether it be night or day, you can see the heavens surround you. It may have, at some point in your life, brought you to ponder what lies beneath. Perhaps you have seen pictures of satellite photography in space, or computer simulations of space and what we currently know about the universe. A plethora of stars and planets, and many unknown celestial realities of our universe lay beyond that sky you now see. Close your eyes, clearing your mind of all distractions, and only think of all of what has been previously mentioned. Simply think of your current existence and everything you have ever experienced therein. All of the people you have met, and all of the people you have yet to meet. All of what you know, and all of what you have yet to know. All that you know exists or is said to exist, and all that we have yet to find existing. Within the darkness of your mind, imagine as if all of these things ceased to be. As though, when opening your eyes, you would find all that you knew to cease to be including yourself, your thoughts, your actions, your memories, and all within the existence of the universe and realm we reside in. Of course, now having opened your eyes, you still find yourself in the same place and state you were as

THE PROFILE OF A CONTEMPORARY PHARISEE The Pharisees of Israel were meticulous in obeying the law. In fact, they came up with hundreds of their own laws, which were supposed to help them better obey God’s laws. They constantly opposed Jesus Christ, and sought to trap him. But the Pharisees are not a past phenomenon but also exist today. They are not only among the Jews, but even among the Christians, even among the “Genuine Orthodox Christians.” Thus we must beware of them, because they are truly the greatest enemies of Christ. We must remember that the harlots and the tax‐collectors were changed by Christ’s message and they truly became Christian. But the Pharisees not only refused to change, but it was they who judged Christ and demanded his crucifixion. We must never cease to forget this historical Christian truth. Pharisees lurking within Christianity were also the source for almost every heresy, including the heresies of Papism and Ecumenism. The following quote is from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 23:1‐35): 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 ʺThe teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Mosesʹ seat. A Pharisee is someone in the position of authority. 3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. The Pharisees does not practice what he preaches (otherwise known as hypocrite or actor). 4 They tie up heavy loads and put them on menʹs shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. The demands of a Pharisee are burdensome. They offer no help or assistance. 5 ʺEverything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; A Pharisee makes sure you know how spiritual he is, much more spiritual than you! 6 they love the place of honour at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; Pharisees live for prestige and recognition. Even if they only complete two years of theology they will dare to call themselves “theologians,” when the Church in her entire history only deems three people worthy of this title, namely St. John the Theologian, St. Gregory the Theologian and St. Symeon the New Theologian. They will not only consider themselves “theologians,” but will even try their best to rise to the top of entire Synods, even if they are still laymen. Then they will slowly influence the Church to follow their false ideologies, until they climb the ranks of the hierarchy. For instance, this is exactly what the “theologians” Mr. Gkoutzidis and Mr. Kontogiannis did among the Matthewites in the 1970s until today, while this is what the “theologians” Mr. Sarantopoulos and Mr. Sakarellos did among the Florinites. 7 they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them ʹRabbi.ʹ A Pharisee lives for titles; “professor” “theologian,” “master,” “confessor,” self‐appointed “president of the pan‐orthodox council,” “only real bishop left in the world,” etc. 8 ʺBut you are not to be called ʹRabbi,ʹ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. The Kingdom of God on earth, namely, the Church, should be a level playing field. No special titles or privileges. All laymen are members of the Royal Priesthood (Βασιλικόν Ιεράτευμα) otherwise known as the “Holy Nation” (Ἔθνος Ἅγιον). The clergy are only those who are chosen from the Royal Priesthood, and elected to be the servants and not the rulers of the people. There are also no such things as “theologians.” Only three theologians exist in the Church, and these are Ss. John, Gregory and Symeon the New. All clergy and laymen who “theologize” should only be followed if their teachings comply with the dogmas and teachings of the Scriptures, Apostolic Canons, Ecumenical Councils, Pan‐Orthodox Councils, Local Councils and Patrology of the Orthodox Church. Even a hundred bishops and a thousand theologians are not infallible, for even entire councils have been rejected by the Church (i.e., the “Robber Synod” under Dioscoros, the false councils of Lyons and Florence, and others). Thus, one bishop and one theologian are also not infallible and should never be treated as such, because even if they theologize correctly one day, they could fall the next day. Even Popes and Patriarchs have fallen. Why, even the highest angel, the bright Lucifer, fell and became the darkest of demons. As Orthodox we know only of one infallible man, and this was our Lord Jesus Christ, who was theology in human form (i.e., Θεός Λόγος σεσαρκωμένος – God the Word in the flesh). Those who truly follow Christ abide in his words and this is exemplified in their actions. By actions we do not mean outward appearance, but inward reality. Those who speak of or seek after outward appearance are Pharisees in their “finest” form. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ʹfather,ʹ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called ʹteacher,ʹ for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The Pharisee finds it hard to survive in an atmosphere which is God‐centred in its focus. They need the focus to be on themselves! 11 The greatest among you will be your servant. In the Kingdom of God on earth, namely the Church, there is meant to be a revolution of leadership. The greatest in rank is the servant of all. 12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. In the Kingdom of God, one truly increases his spiritual ‘rank’ by demoting himself, utterly humiliating himself, and making himself the least of all. 13 ʺWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in menʹs faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Pharisees make it hard to enter the Kingdom. Their near‐dead souls and bodies block the way to those seeking entrance. 15 ʺWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. Pharisees are zealous to win people over to their way (consider Saul of Tarsus before Christ converted him). Their errors are magnified and amplified as they are passed onto their followers. 16 ʺWoe to you, blind guides! You say, ʹIf anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.ʹ 17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18 You also say, ʹIf anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.ʹ 19 You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, he who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And he who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears by heaven swears by Godʹs throne and by the one who sits on it. A Pharisee always focuses on human efforts and endeavours, while completely missing divine purpose and intention. 23 ʺWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices‐‐mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law‐‐justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. Pharisees are meticulous about carrying out the fine details of their own law (not God’s law). Their ‘spiritual’ labours are measured to the last gram, but they cannot see the heart of the law which beats within a true Christian, for the law has been written on our heart and in our inward‐parts. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. A Pharisee always excels at nit‐picking, while missing the nose on his head! 25 ʺWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self‐indulgence. A Pharisee slaps a fresh coat of paint on, to hide the rotten boards. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. True change begins inwardly, and naturally works outward. 27 ʺWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead menʹs bones and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. The grass is mowed and the windows are washed, but beware the killer lurking just behind the curtains! 29 ʺWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. 30 And you say, ʹIf we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.ʹ Pharisees of today like to think that they are not at all like the Pharisees of bygone days. 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Pharisees can’t quite hide who they really are. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the sin of your forefathers! 33 ʺYou snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? 34 Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. (Matt 23:1‐35) The following quotes are from the Gospel of Mark (Mark 7:4‐9, 7:13):
