I am still in the process of studying hesychasm, but much of what I've learned from a theological point of view, differs much from the average EO's understanding and practice of it. My primary source of learning regarding hesychasm is Gregory Palamas as he seems to be the fore-runner of its usage in the modern age, and he is certainly respected by the EO's as a doctor of this theology.
I will have more to say on this later on in my studying of Gregory Palamas and other EO saints. I should also note that, theosis is a process and occurs gradually by receiving contribution from God of the Divine Energies. Theopoiesis is an end result, and in OO theology there is no doctrine of Divine Energies or distinction between them and the Divine Essence. The intellectual concept of theosis is borrowed from Plato and while we OO's do accept that some truths are revealed or mirrored through others such as pagans and secularists, we do not subscribe to Plato's concepts as universal truths within our theology. To then make another comparison then theopoiesis is to patiently waiting for the arrival, as theosis is to pursuing in order to obtain. |
