""The Philokalia The Complete Text. Compiled by St. Nikodimos of The Holy Mountain and St. Markarios of Corinth", Volumes I-IV (V forthcoming).
Those unfamiliar with "Philokalia", can locate much on the web concerning the texts' history and origin, as developed (compiled) from 4th to 15th century Eastern Christian monastic sources.
My personal opinion is that "Philokalia" is not simply "read", and then shelved, but is used as a spiritual manual throughout life, as it can, when approached with sincerity, show how the individual "Nous" (Divine "intellect") can gradually be opened, or rather exalted ("Theosis"). Herein, is described, sometimes clearly, other times in veiled language, one of the living Paths of Christian esotericism. However, it should be cautioned, that would be students of "Philokalia" really ought to first be well grounded in Eastern Christian theological doctrines. Consequently, reading the contemporary works of people such as Vladimir Lossky and Kallistos Ware might be useful as pre-requisite or concurrent titles."
