Holy Paisios (a Greek Orthodox Saint) was once asked, what one can do against disturbing thoughts, while high up in the sky an airplane was passing. Elder Paisios looked up and said - Do you see this airplane? It is not in my power if it will pass over me or not, but it is up to me if I build a landing-strip or not !!

The most awful form of thought is obsession. I know the thoughts aren't mine, but horrifying things come to mind and stick for days: faces, actions, a place of complete blackness, and dread. Other stuff happens too, but it's best that I do not discuss anymore about what it is. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me a sinner.

Evan Rivet - Orthodox Christianity brought the world the New Testament and catholic Christianity (that is, Apostolic & not Gnostic, and including both the Church Militant - those alive on Earth - and Church Triumphant - the victorious Saints interceding for us & worshipping with us - the Whole Church from Greek, Katholikos: Kata ("according to") + Holos ("the whole/complete")), it is for everyone. As an ex-Protestant, I can tell you, it is the greatest joy on Earth, finding and joining oneself to the Christ-founded Ancient Faith, His Spirit-filled Body. It to me several years to recover from the errors of my upbringing/culture and deprogram my mind from my Reformed education (graduated from a Reformed university, where I studied New Testament theology and Art/Art History, as well as linguistics), being freed from the heresies and theological novelties that have long plagued the West, Latin & Protestant alike. Remember, "the Church is the ground and pillar of Truth", not personal interpretation of Her sacred writings, which are only part of the Truth in Her Treasury (see II Thessalonians 2:15, 3:6, I Cor. 11:2-34, John 6:48-58, too). The Lord founded the Church, "upon the Apostles and Prophets, Christ himself chief cornerstone," (Eph. 2:20), and it was those men who - later - gave us the NT Scriptures, which came after the foundation of the Apostolic Episcopacy (Matt. 16:18, 18:18, Acts 1:20) and the institution of the Liturgy/Eucharistic Worship (see Acts 2:42, & Heb. 8:6 in original Greek: most English translations have, inexplicably, substituted the word, "ministry" for Liturgy/Λειτουργίας, but that word would be "diaconia" in Greek, not "liturgia/s"), not before. Truly (and this I say from experience), the Orthodox Church is the Pearl of Great Price. The road home may be challenging (even dangerous), but absolutely worth the journey! Good strength to you in your journey! +++

I also have been struggling with this issue. God sent me to this video.

As a past sufferer of ocd, 'Pure-O' can be torture for the person feeling like they are totally alone in this. If you suffer from intrusive thoughts, know that you are NOT your thoughts. 1000's of thoughts come & go to & through our minds daily(do you consciously think them all? of course not.); If you're stressed or experiencing prolonged anxiety and these thoughts occur, let them flow by you like a shallow river, they can't hurt you in the least. Let it all go...in time, they will leave you. Busy yourself with life, with others, etc. & you'll find those thoughts less and less too. Also a simple thing to know: take away the stress (it's build-up within you), & in turn you'll be having fewer & fewer of such thoughts until at last, gone. It takes work to let things go...be kind to yourself & relax. You are not alone by any means. Life happens...its not always good by any means as you know. God however, is Good...always & forever, & gives us each other to share experience, knowledge & above all...love.

Thank you for this message. In recent years I have experienced what some call hypnogogic hallucinations or sleep paralysis. Initially it was quite terrifying but after reading something on this topic I began to say the name of Jesus and to also pray the Jesus prayer. I remember the first time I did this, I said to the demon "but I am a follower of Jesus" and within a second it vanished. These episodes have become rarer now, thank God, but if ever I experience anything I will immediately say the Jesus prayer or the Lord's prayer and all is good again.

Matthew 6:6 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. It is good to pray openly, to let sound come out of our mouth, we can do this in secret in our room or in Church, yet when we feel the need to pray the Jesus Prayer when we are in public or are surrounded by people, it's good to say the Jesus Prayer in ourselves. The monks say the Jesus Prayer all the time, we just don't hear it. They say it in themselves continuously. Saying the Jesus prayer aloud to protect yourself from others may make the others feel like they are doing something wrong to you, they will feel attacked. We should be very careful not to lead others into temptation of getting bad thoughts and that is why doing things in secret is the best way to go as that wont lead to others judging you and you being judged. God is in secret and hears our thoughts.
