One of my favorite things these days is listening to your podcasts during my daily constitutionals. Like always this one was great except constant interrupting by two Mikes and they always interrupted you when you were talking about things I'm most interested in or something I really wanted to hear. If I'm not mistaken, in this episode you were saying that occultists understand the book of revelation, and you never had a chance to finish your thought. Can you please recommend some books on this topic? About "sobornost" (соборность) there is not one definition, but I believe you understood it correctly. Bulgakov called "sobornost" - "the soul of Eastern Orthodox Christianity". Usually it means spiritual unity of secular and religious societies; it's not "I think" (cogito) but "we think". Vladimir Solovyov (Russian philosopher) said that "Catholicism is unity without freedom, Protestantism - freedom without unity; Orthodoxy - unity in freedom and freedom in unity." Georges Florovsky said something similar, but since he had been seven when Solovyov died I guess it safe to assume that it was Solovyov who said that. P.S. The King in Orange was delivered on my Kindle on May 4th by the way. Greetings from Kiev.
